I am in the middle of creating (or, as it turns out, REcreating) my writer robot. This one will write on pieces of paper, instead of those strips. I will post an entry when i'm done with it.

Gave up on my writer idea. I did manage to take a few pictures tho. They can be found at http://www.geo cities.com/simonthehappy Then u click the link labled "writer" on the left side. Also, i added a chatroom to my site. It is a blue recangle on the main screen (right side). Feel free to enter and exit it whenever you wish. Maybe you will even be there when i am there. Happy building and programming everyone!

I recently found out about http://www.hvwtech.com. It has great microcontrollers (such as the OOPIC and Basic Stamp), and mny other accessories. I hope to get the OOPIC II, if anyone has used it, please let me know if it's any good (you can e-mail me at sleepaholic88@hotmail.com or talk to me through AIM, my SN is sleepaholic88). Thanks.

A foolproof method for sculpting an elephant: first, get a huge block of marble, then you chip away everything that doesn't look like an elephant.
Whoever coined the phrase "Quiet as a mouse" has never stepped on one.
Hehe, just found these rather amusing.
