Recently I visited another company on a business trip, and they had some cool robots put together by the employees! Some are from kits and some are ready-assembled. The Robonova-1 biped (pictured, in gold) is made from a kit, and contains 16 servo motors. They can even dance! Now I want to make one…
For my birthday, Amber surprised me with a trip on the Royal Gorge Train, which is a 3 hour train ride with dinner in a rare dome car, through the gorge in Cañon City, Colorado. It was amazing – as it travels, it has lights on the sides illuminating the gorge.
My friends Joe & Jen also gave me a ticket to see Mandy Moore at the Fox Theatre in Boulder this coming Friday! I have wanted to see her live for years but never had the chance. Oh, and we plan on meeting her. This is the great ticket they made me. Watch this space!
Shockingly early last Monday, I went to the DMV to get my new licence. I hate the DMV with a passion. My work visa was due to expire on Sunday but I hadn’t received my extension approval in the post yet. Hey, it’s the US government, they take ages to do everything. So I am caught in the middle of a stupid legal problem where I can’t drive because the DMV won’t give me a licence, even though I am legally in the country, a tax-payer, and have a fully registered and insured car. Cheers!
