Robot Invisible

Today's robot will appear tomorrow with tomorrow's robot. Perhaps I'll throw an additional robot into the mix.

Speaking of robots, I'm a big fan of mashups right now (Robots prefer them over all other types of music). I listened to a good amount of Girl Talk and The Beastles today while shredding things and stamping meerkats on envelopes.

I'm also a big fan of hyperlinks.

Robot emulates the process leading up to alcohol poisoning


Class starts in something like 171 hours. I'll be working in Frantic Meerkat's studio for the next couple of days so posting a new robot will depend on whether or not I can figure out their scanner. I am optimistic.

Robot gets inspired by the summer blockbuster Iron Man and Tom Morello's portrayal of insurgent #5

I finally saw Iron Man yesterday. $1.50 at a nice dollar theater. I was kind of amazed and unsure if I had actually seen Tom Morello as an insurgent. Later that day I swear I saw him in something else but IMDb says I didn't so I'm not going to say anything until I confirm it.

Worried robot can't remember where he parked his master's car

I actually completely forgot about my Robot a Day project until I looked at my morning schedule.

Robot gets angry at his master's disobedient cat


Today's 3-D robot was going well until I got to his limbs. Then I made him angry.

No jury duty again today. I could of used that $12 for when my rent goes up this month...

A Robot A Day

I've been looking for a little project to do over the course of the next school year for some time now. At the beginning of the summer, I would draw each of my meals before I ate them. That didn't work out because A.) I can't draw well and B.) most of the meals I ate were noodles or rice and water (they didn't make for good pictures).

A couple of days ago I decided that I would take a napkin from each place I visited (if they had napkins). Later that day I decided that a napkin collection is pretty useless. Most napkins look the same.

I think I found the activity to fill the napkin taking/meal drawing void. I'm going to draw a robot a day and post them here. I've known since a young age that I am not good at drawing but have always enjoy it. The beautiful thing about my robots is that they are mostly composed of circles and squares.

Here is my first robot. I think he reflects my excited/hopeful mood for the future of this project.

I also had a thought today while I was attempting to plug in my cell phone charger. I have to deal with a ridiculous amount of cords. I'm going to count how many cords I'm using (and at one point had to wrangle into place) at this moment. My ear buds to my ipod. My mouse cord. The cord to charge my laptop. The cord to charge my hard drive. The cord to connect my hard drive to my laptop. My phone charger. My DS charger. The cord to my fan. The cord for the power strip. That's nine cords. That's not counting my desk lamp, the two cords for my printer and other various electronic charging cords. I don't think my parents had to deal with this many cords when they were my age and when I or people my age now have kids who are twenty I think wireless charging will be used much more widely. So that means (according to my guess that wireless charging will catch on and become more advanced) that right now is the only time people are going to be frustrated by tangles and tangles of cords.
