  1. Nothing like a little science to vindicate your natural proclivity - wandering minds are active minds: http://bit.ly/wmind
  2. The truck is loaded with supplies from the Tinkering School shed - if you get one truck to be stranded on a desert island with, this is it.
  3. Packing up the shed, I discovered the long-lost lenses that I extracted from a projection-TV at the dump. Spent 10 min. imagining the poss.
  4. Today we wash the ranch house & pack the tools & test the blogging system & figure out the media workflow & solve the axle problem & ...
  5. Today we begin to ask a new question "Can Tinkering School be moved out of it's birthplace and still work?" - we begin boxing it up at 10.
  6. Chaos - it's what's for breakfast.
  7. Also, we ordered a bunch of these: http://www.solarbotics.com/... for a project - can we drive two with one pair of AA batteries?
  8. Giant to-do list, continuous stream of minor setbacks, and an overflowing in-box - ready or not, Tinkering School starts Sunday.
  9. Must be time to check my meds - I think I just went shopping in my slippers.
  10. Taking suggestions of YA books to put on the bookshelf at Tinkering School. Have @doctorow and @scottwesterfield, any other must-haves?
  11. T-5 days till Session 1 starts and it's last-minute disaster time - have to find new camp insurance before Friday. And final parts orders...
  12. Wondering what "following" means any more... how can @newappstore have 9,429 followers and no updates?
  13. 2 hrs to get off this planet with just a bucket of nails and a bar-magnet - no prob. pile of insurance contracts and 1 day to review - argh!
  14. Got some great responses to my homebrew bathysphere question last week, but @enuf4all wins for most feasible: 55g drum w/o lid, + weights.
  15. I'm procrastinating while my tea brews. I'm blaming @garb for tweeting this: http://bit.ly/cM150 which I keep watching over and over.
  16. We're home from our week of paragliding and all of a sudden Tinkering School is T-6 days and counting - now the frenzy really begins.
  17. Accidental hangup on a calll from St. Francis hospital in SF - somewhat worrisome...
  18. Trapped on the road down from launch by a cow-fight.. The rules of cow society are not clear... So we wait for negotiations to finish.
  19. Overheating my brain trying to come up with ways to build a bathysphere using stuff you might find in your garage - any ideas?
  20. Chatting with grizzled pilots. True-life tales of early hang glider construction - amazing flights taken on bamboo and plastic sheeting.
