Favorite LEGO toys/themes: Model Team/Technic/Mindstorms
My fascination with LEGO began... with the first set I was given, I still (very fondly) remember the seemingly-endless instructions.
I once built... a technic pneumatic crane. My dad bought it for me, to keep me busy while he attended a party (there were no other kids there, so I was set up in another room to build it). Someone came by to see how it was going and before long a crowd gathered, seeing what this plastic machine was capable of.
Someday I will build... something my girlfriend can stand to have displayed out in the open....
LEGO is great because... when they really frustrate you, you can annihilate your creation and not damage the pieces (usually)!
LEGO fans are great because... you don't have to explain LEGO to them. They already know.
My favorite Non-LEGO Toys: computers!
My favorite Hobbies & Interests: reading, software development, BEAM robotics, physics
My favorite Foods: anything
My favorite Movies & TV: good sci-fi, good dramas, good comedys, discovery science
My favorite Artists: Keith Harring, da Vinci, van Gogh
My favorite Music: good rock-n-roll, good blues
My favorite Pets & Animals: plants
Words which best describe me: casual, curious
I love it when... I complete something in a novel way.
I hate it when... I can't slove puzzles.
I can't seem to get enough... sleep.
I always seem to have enough... ...socks?
I hope I always... learn from what I experience.
I wish I could... get Mark Tilden and Rodney Brooks together for a DARPA Grand Challenge project.
I could never... pay retail for computers.
I hope I never... burn myself with a soldering iron (again).
I wish I hadn't... leased my car.
In my craziest moments... I'm dancing, utterly lost in the music.
Believe it or not... a former US president barbecued a hotdog for me.
If I were super-human... I wouldn't tell anybody.
More & Less:
- more veggies, less hydrogenated death food
- more musicians, less celebrities
- more kindness/understanding, less punditry
Rules I try to live by:
- don't get too upset,
- don't put it on a credit card,
- figure out how it works!
