the plan is coagulating, a lot of work is going to be necessary if things are going to work out and look well. It is difficult to forsee how things will turn out.

you want I should make a puppet?

coming together and falling apart
"come on!"
- G.O.B.
yesterday we got together in our performance groups... but, quite frankly, I am uncertain of the synergy, or even the synergy potential. Art is Art, but if you try to make it into an grade school skit (maybe some uninspired nonsense you'd write that would have to include all of that week's vocabulary words), it will be just that. Loosen up, have a pop tart.

symet 2.0
today I began making a tiny bot of my own: utilizing the knowlege gained (or, rather, stealing the intelligence from) the makings of the first symet (an aisha/karin/adam-joint bot). That first bot will be hereafter referred to as "greens" the robot. Robot 2.0 (or ro2.0t, if you can pretend 2's are b's) came together quickly, but still lacks a blinking red LED and a solar cell. What is ironic about the whole thing is that it may be easier to teach a man to "do the robot" than it is to teach electrical components to be a robot. how cruel.
but its solder-welds are strong, and its ambition limitless... the second robot may still prove worthy in battle...
...especially once it combines with the first robot to make an unstoppable, Voltron-flavored ultra-ro-mega-bot (which I have designed both to be capable of).

techNOLOGICal wonders...
there are no signs of improvement...
I will never understand how someone had enough gall to create the Gilligan's Island's character "the Professor"--a man who makes radios out of coconuts. There is little more impossible than a coconut making a sound other than that a coconut would normally make. I have access to soldering irons, packaged motors, LEDs, capacitransresiselectors, and cardboard; and I can't not even not-make a thing... nothing. I could potentially believe a man could leap tall buildings in a single bound (like superman), or... grow and shrink many times his own size (like apache cheif), or... um... talk to fish, man. That one makes the most sense. But a man can't make a walk-in freezer out of palm fronds, sea shells, canned laughter, and monkeypoop. That's preposterous.*

you can take a rowboat away from a robot, but you can't take the 'robot' out of 'rowboat'
today we started making our simple BEAM robots... or, rather, we started making a robot. Radioshack is truly but a shack. We had to pool our resources and ingenuity in an attempt to magic some poor simulacra of the robot-that-could-have-been, but I am optimistic. You don't learn if you don't need to creatively solve a problem at some point.
however, my optimism ends there... these BEAM robots will offer us little protection when the more capable robots revolt.

NEW blog
the internet is a crazy place... many places to click. Some of those places will get you where you want to go, others will show you... things... terrible things.
blogger.com perplexes me some, I fear I might not be able to keep up with all that is going on.
Mary died of a snake bite today... the trail is treacherous and unyielding. Burt had his doubts about fixing the wagon wheel, but I thought the mixture of molasses and the remains of poor Mary (she would have wanted it this way) would hold the axle cover on, at least to the next town. I was wrong. Lord, was I wrong.
