This was the latest wired news on my rss - I am glad robotics has reached such a pinacle, hahaha. Kevin Kelm made a robot that looks like someone taking a dump. You can listen to the soundtrack at his site.

RoboDump is a robot. Sort of. And it poops. Sort of. Forever. A horrible, never-ending bowel movement complete with straining grunts, horrific gas, splashes, and pee sounds.

I snuck RoboDump into the men's room at the office. Unfortunately, today turned out to be the day of a board meeting. Whoops! It still went over well; the office was abuzz all morning with gossip about the guy in the bathroom. Several people theorized it was the CFO. The janitor commented to someone in the hallway that he wanted to clean the restroom but "this guy's been in there all morning."

Dave came to get us this morning for a trip to geneseo. Should be fun. I bought batteries for the voice recorder, lets see if I can remember to use it!

Dave pointed out that our new sprinkler system is made of plastic and would melt quickly in a fire. Upon closer investigation, I noticed that the print on the tube said for unexposed use. Meaning it should be inside the wall and not outside the walls, like ours. I wonder if the fire inspectors will notice this when they come to visit. I should point it out to them in order to thank my landlord for making our life a living hell during the past month.

[size=m]Where are the talent scouts?[/size]
Dear Venture Capitalists and Web Talent Scouts,
Where are you? I think I have proven that I am extremely capable of making magic on the web. I coded every scrap of this site by hand. This isn't some prefab crap that I just filled in the blanks for. There is nothing that I don't own the rights to. As a matter of fact, I made most of it in notepad, that should speak for itself. Did you not notice the fact that the journals now fit on the page even you change the window size, and that the spell check works really well. Have you seen the chat commands or uploaded a journal from your phone.

Why have you not offered me a lucritive deal I cannot refuse, one that makes me want to quit school and sign onto some contract prefereably in SF, Seatle, Vancouver or Berlin/Hamburg? And no, I don't mean the person asking me to make them some lame static website for $3000. I would like a real job $$$ developing highly dynamic content and preferably porting my own system to some commercial product for other communities that you can then sell it to.

Where is my marketing team, and where are my customer service agents? Maybe I should just go back to school for business.

P.S. Fear not estripers, your site will not change. I want this to be the coolest free site on the web and won't change that because you are my communty and I owe something back to it, but I sure as hell would like to work making something similar to make profit so that I could pay for all of this at least.

Why did I think about this now?
How come everyone can turn everything into profit accept for me. Did everyone see the on (e:lisa) 's journal [inlink]lisa,156[/inlink] where that guy made a site where everyone uploaded an "I am sorry" about the election pics. It is brilliant but what is even crazier is that there is a store attached. How is it that he makes money off of something that offeres no real services and i make things that offer unmatched services and make no money. Maybe we should seel estrip merchandise, would anyone buy an estrip hoodie or hat, col?

On another note, at this very late period, I am thinking about drastically changing my thesis to be about creating tool for docuementary creation. Who knows.
