Announcing the Animatronic Repurposing Project

Saturday, March 17, 2001

The moment you’ve not been waiting for has arrived. I’ve started a page about the repurposing of battery-powered critters I’ve started to fool around with. Can anyone recommend some simple texts on electrical engineering? Back from Seattle. More on that later, for now here’s a picture of Jen and Rufus, who was mopey all week […]

Marquise McGraw

Sunday, March 4, 2001

Once again I’d like to direct your attention to the homepage of Marquise McGraw, one of my fellow shock troops in the afterschool program. He’s added a little more to his site recently. Marquise’s eloquence constantly amazes me, especially in comparison to the unfocused, poorly educated people who surround him in his community. He is […]

TV Go Home.

Saturday, March 3, 2001

TV Go Home. Hooray! “8 Facts” leads to other good British web shite. What The Onion would be if it were TV Times and British. I especially like this one… “Largest Conceptual Schism Between Faceless Product and Contrived Mardi Gras Atmosphere.” heh.

Monday, February 26, 2001

Apparently it has something to do with magnets, although I have seen huge freestanding tube ones which are bubble-powered. […]

Today on the Subway

Monday, February 26, 2001

I’ve got a new blog up called Today On The Subway. I’m hoping to find other people who are interested in observing subway life to contribute. There have just been too many weird and beautiful things happening on the subway not to comment. The other day there were these two snaggle-toothed guys who were quite […]

Internet-Correspondance Repair

Sunday, February 25, 2001

With the long-distance help of my dad, I am fixing a lamp which was a New York street find. This follows in a peculiar tradition of long-distance repair between the two of us, the most notable moment being the time when my dad accurately diagnosed the ominous scraping sound coming from the wheel wells of […]

Bush movements

Sunday, February 25, 2001

Somehow I expected that Bush would be cutting corporate welfare, but I’m still a little startled… Why did I guess this? Well, Clinton did all sorts of things to betray his party in being so middle-of-the-road… doesn’t it stand to reason that Bush would have to do some of the same to follow up on […]
