Saturday, prep and circumstance

So it’s been a really really oppressively hot day… I helped my darling Nadja knock the back out of our closet so she can build a magical doll wonderland and I tweaked this site up a bit… still not entirely pleased there but it will do for now.

Also I went through some boxes and found some materials for this weeks projects… up next, repair a theremin. It needs a little TLC, one wand is attached to the board with a paperclip and the other isn’t at all… that has to change… also the pitch wand’s mounting hole is completely stripped out so I will have to get clever with epoxy or something and get that stable. I also plan to do some Audio weirdness on Sunday so that will be fun.

The evening was taken up with a birthday Ethiopian food dinner and Tiki Bar expedition… poor me…

A Week of Making

WHEEEE

Ok, so no burning man for me this year, I’m ok with that. But I had the time off all approved and stuff and BOY HOWDY did I need a break!

So I have decided and declared this to be a week where I make a whole lot of things.

I’ll update every night this week with what I am working on and where it is. This Saturday and Sunday will be somewhat light as I am recovering from a heck of a couple of weeks at work and want to sort of ease in a little. Next Friday and Saturday… I have absolutely NO IDEA where I will be or what I will be doing. It’s a surprise, I know I will be elsewhere and have been told I can bring small portable projects. I don’t know if there will be a network for me to connect to or not, for all I know I will be spending two days in a pit full of spiders, or clowns, or spiderclowns, ew!

So first project… oh, it was getting this blog up and running! I did that

It begins again!

Hello and welcome to the relaunch of willrobot.com, Adventures in Mad Science!

I am Will Robot and In these pages I am going to talk about my various endeavors focusing on creativity and forays into fields I know little or nothing about but figure it looks like too much fun to not give it a go.

Long before “Master of none” was sarcastically added there was “Jack of All Trades.” In my mind to know a little bit about a great deal is much more exiting than to know a great deal about a few things. I would rather be a crazy person who is good with tools than an architect, a freak that can use a soldering iron than an electrician, and someone willing to mate day glo orange with green stripes to see what happens than a designer.

This is not an attitude that gets you a good career… but it sure makes life fun.

Let’s see where this leads shall we?
