| Adrian's Tentative Robotic ZooDid I tell you that one of my goals after getting a Mechanical Engineering degree was to make a zoo filled with robot animals?
Well, now you know.
I've been thinking of this since my sophomore year of high school, and it's doable even with the technology of today!
Basically, my goal is to assemble a team of the coolest engineers,
artists, and zoologists around the globe. (Emphasis on cool, I don't
want any lamo's). Then there'd be a huge design phase where the robots
are designed and constructed. The only criteria for the design, aside
from only being able to power the robots with electricity and simple
mechanics such as winding up, would be that the robots cannot simply be
robots crafted after an animal exactly. Designers can draw inspiration
from existing animals, but we want to make up new creatures. That'd be
half the fun!
The end product: A zoo filled with whirring, buzzing monsters aimed at children and robot enthusiasts.
I have a whole bunch of stuff planned out. To simulate zoo
environments, there'd naturally be 'feeding' times. That'd just be when
someone takes out a source of electricity, and the robots would home in
on it and partake! Even pooping would result in creative fun! There
could be robots that occasionally fight or play with each other, or
robots that are even outside of cages and follow visitors around the
zoo!
The zoo would not only be restricted to 'ground type' robots, but would
also feature a birdhouse (for flying bots), aquarium (for swimming
bots), and greenhouse (specializing in solar powered bots).
The individual exhibits would be controlled by one individual or group
of individuals, to make sure that the zoo has a variety of nice, fun
things. Hell, I could even challenge local schools and colleges to add
to the zoo!
I totally want to do this. If you get a call from me 10 years after we
part ways after school or whatever, you can be damn sure that I'm
rallying troops for this cause.
I'M GOING TO BURN FOR IT. | | |
| There's alot of things about me I'd like to change.
Such as, I wish being social didn't feel so awkward.
Or
I wish that I wasn't so coy.
Or
I wish I didn't do art as much and could just be one of those naturally gifted engineers.
But it's kind of like how a short person will say how much they hate being short.
That's just the way it works.
So here's something outside of whining.
I was infected with Scabies, which apparently are tiny little blood parasites that make your skin itch like the dickens. $25 in cream is helping to fix that, supposedly.
It kind of ruined my Friday, but who the hell cared? My friends and I just laughed it off. I got back from a doctors appointment to fix it and a bunch of RA's sent us to the ER to make sure we don't spread an epidemic in the hall. It was a fun night.
The thing is, though, one of my friends lives with a guy who has it all over his room, and there's a girl who visits almost everyday who also has it, and this guy doesn't have Scabies at all. Odd.
At any rate, when they told us to go to the ER immediately, they told me to tell my roommate, whom I still hate with the burning vigor of a grizzly bear.
Instead of calling him on his phone and wasting my breath, I just made him a sign on the door.
I came back to the room to find that he never visited the room, so he never saw the sign.
I wonder what would've happened?

| It's settled.
If I meet my goal of finding $10,000 in financial aid by the end of the next semester, I will construct a ball pit large enough for two people in my next dorm room.
If you see any scholarships for mechanical engineering, illustration, Chinese/Irish mutants, or anything in general, send them my way.

| It seems that mad scientists had to reset Cheney's dark, cold, unloving machine heart back to killing pace.
I'm going to have to figure out how to sort things out in Ann Arbor.
Le sigh.
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA!
Oh.
And here's MY FIRST COMIC EVER. I found it! Staring Dandy Ryan the dandelion (har de harhar!).
I drew it last summer, but I got into a good conversation and got a little distracted while finishing the inks. Can you guess when the conversation started by looking at the inking?
