("zozzles")
Favorite LEGO toys/themes: LEGO Robotics
My fascination with LEGO began... After reading about MIT's work with the SmartBrick concept for children and it's applicability to Braitenberg vehicles.
I once built... A five motor, five Nv loop BEAM robot named Lurch.
Someday I will build... Something decent with all of the LEGO/electronics stuff I've got
LEGO is great because... Quality of materials, interoperability.
LEGO fans are great because... They are dedicated and enthusiastic.
My favorite Non-LEGO Toys: Computers B-}
My favorite Hobbies & Interests: Electronics, photography, robotics, software
My favorite Foods: General Tso's Chicken
My favorite Movies & TV: Buckaroo Banzai, Galaxy Quest, Toy Story I & II
My favorite Artists: Escher, Van Gogh, Picasso
My favorite Music: Baroque, 1950..1980's rock, rhythm & blues, classical
My favorite Pets & Animals: Two female cats, one named Mau, the other named Fuzz Button
Words which best describe me: manic, depressive, intelligent, procrastinator, pack rat, intense
I love it when... Something I build works the first time. When I understand a new concept.
I hate it when... People who ought to know better use incorrect reasoning or wrong words to describe concepts and push other people to believe them.
I can't seem to get enough... Toys B-} Ok -- LEGO ($2500 or so), electronics (geez, perhaps 10 grand), stereo/video/photography stuff
I always seem to have enough... Pepsi, things I don't have time to do.
I hope I always... Have a clear mind.
I wish I could... Get more done before I croak.
I could never... Found a company or be an entrepreneur.
I hope I never... Get fired.
I wish I hadn't... Hey, I'm not going to answer this because the list is probably too long and boring!
In my craziest moments... Wearing headphones while driving in the rain, I ignored the new sounds coming from the back of my car. A few moments later the rear right wheel came off completely.
Believe it or not... (small joke) I think that I am the pre-reincarnation of Einstein (actually, he died about two months after I was born).
If I were super-human... Don't have a clue.
More & Less:
- more comfort and security for everyone, less anger and boredom
Rules I try to live by:
- Reason/logic
- Sensitivity
- Honesty or keeping my mouth shut
Additional comments:
Geez, this is almost as bad as one of those teenage list of questions!
