Merry Christmas!

December 25th, 2007

It is that time of year again. I got 532 nm (green) laser pointer; it's pretty awesome.
As I mentioned in my first post, Robonautica happened at WPI a short time back. The event was great, pretty loud though. One team came wearing headphones to block out the noise; part of me wished I could do the same. I got a free t-shirt and pizza. Overall, it was a fun day.

And the blog works!

December 6th, 2007

That didn't take long. Beyond the problem of finding out how to make a blog in the first place, I encountered problems integrating it nicely into Google page creator. I really like the service, and a lot can be done with it, but it can be somewhat tedious. I used an iframe for this, which works pretty well, but I was unable to edit the page again after adding it, meaning I'd have to recreate the entire page if I decide something should be changed.

News Page Added!

December 5th, 2007

I've just added a news page to the website! Whenever something gets changed on the site, it'll show up here. I'll also use this space as an opportunity to discus projects I am working on or will be working on, and possibly turn this into a blog once I figure out how to do that. So what's going on now you ask? Well, what with school I haven't had much chance to work on Lego projects (or finish all the pages on the creations I do have for that matter). Over Thanksgiving vacation I participated in M.I.T.'s F.A.T. chain reaction. I haven't found a video of this years online yet, but I'll post it once I see one, and possibly make a page for the contraption. Coming up in a week and a half, college application decisions come out, as well as the WPI's Robonautica First Lego League Competition (Also see http://www.firstlegoleague.org/) at which I will be volunteering as a table referee. I did this last year, and judged/refereed at another FLL tournament this year. Today I received an email from someone in France about my Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte mosaic. He seemed to like it and posted it on his site: frogsmoke.com. The site contains many interpretations of this piece of work among other things.
