Stress finds a way to bite into my Brain.
It made me not want to work on what I was going to.
And though as counter intuitive as it is for me... I think
just going ahead and getting to work would help more than
anything else.

" I feel like a Eukaryote

in a Prokaryotes world"

Hyphens are out of style guys. I know I didn't
place one in there.

I have agreed to help someone with a logo for their
company. It brings back memories of that time I got
to design the ROBOT logo for Res. Offical Board of Technology.
And then Res News which made a brilliant debu as an
animated symbol in the bottom of the 'J'
I like the subtle trend.

Project Proposal
Somewhere in the begining of this Biology class I presently
find myself in a fellow from out of town was doing research
on Dolphin skulls. I wouldn't have cared much but he had a
particullary interesting tool he used to digitize the skull
information. It was a sort of a 3D probe for which he could
gather data points straight into the computer.

And I thought, "Now that's something I'd like to make someday"
Both the teacher and the guy stared at me in disbelief.
Who was this kid thinking he can build a 150 dollar or so
device. The claimed I needed some special optics and that it would
be very hard. Clearly, the world hath no faith in the random
college guy's vague aspirations. 

I walk out that day really thinking and going, "wow, they just
don't think I can do it" I should do it somehow.
$150 dollars eh? I think it's a perfect example of the myth
people live under about computer technology today.

They want to stay under it because they don't want to think
they're getting ripped off for buying something as fabulous
as a 3D data collector. Ta Sha guys, it turns out that the
cost of bare parts is astoningly small compared with the end
price you lug out your wallet for. 

I feel like showing them up and making one before the bio class
is out. Even though that might not be possible I'd still prep
a movie of production of the thing and branish it to the Bio
teacher while going, "Hey remember that day that you didn't
believe I could do such and such...." and "So, do you want
a 3D plotter for half the price of that guys?"

Beside, maybe the market would like one really huge so that
you could digitize large objects like cars and what not.

The plan?

I was writing equations down before class. Basically,
we could put what amounts to a varible resistor at
all the joints of a rod arm and collect angle data which
can be converted to the proper 3D coordinates via the
PIC chip and the interface into the computer.
I can out line all the pieces of the project and we can
discuss what we know how to do and what we'll have to find
out how to do. 

I think the coolist part would to have the 3D model of the
probe be updated on the computer in real time so that as you
move it it moves on the screen. 

Considering I do not see division and multiply I do not
think the pic chip will do anything but digitize analog
values and report them to computer.

I've made some crude sketchs of the design and idea.
Call me or write me for questions

I find it funny that I'm able to hang about people I really
don't know very well. As I biked up to Leahs place I just
sat down outside amoung the other people whom lived there
and obserbed as people talked and went about their lives.

And then I was off to Coffey's house and again there were
people there I was just hanging about with out really
knowing. 

And I leave that place to go buy food from the store and
come home.
