Roboat Launch
The boat launch yesterday wasn’t a complete failure nor was it a complete success. I was steering the vehicle and almost hit some other boats (namely a paddle boat and some jet skis).

I do have to admit, I’ve enjoyed learning more about some Powncers like Howard and Geoff. Here are the rules: Each person starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.

Seeing Yellow
“Seeing Yellow” is a project that stemmed out of the Computing Culture group at the MIT MediaLab (I’m currently working with this group). “When you print on a color laser printer, it’s likely that you are also printing a pattern of invisible yellow dots. These marks exist to allow the printer companies and governments to track and identify you — presumably as a way to combat money counterfeiting....
