I completed an item off of my 'Want' list. It took forever to make these 5 doilies, but now I'm done! They look pretty awesome.

Tweenbots and HRI
Sunday, April 12, 2009
Tweenbots appears to be a sort of Human-Robot-Interaction project, something that Carnegie Mellon has a large focus on. (Have I told you about Snackbot? It's going to bring me snacks in the office someday, someday).
More specifically, tweenbots reminds me of a project I saw at AAAI 2005: Finding the Person with the Pink Hat. Artificial Intelligence researchers at a conference are much more likely to treat a robot openly than the general public...which is why it's nice to see the tweenbots being generally well received.
Success: Corn Meal Dumplings + Turnip Greens
Saturday, April 11, 2009
Collard Greens with Cornmeal Dumplings Recipe from Anson Mills. I substituted turnip greens for collard greens, since my local grocery store regularly runs out of different forms of leafy produce. Pretty tasty, with a slightly spicy kick. Although, I'm pretty sure I was supposed to have more broth that I had...
Macaron Trial #1: Semi-fail
Tuesday, April 7, 2009
You probably can't tell, but that's a half-eaten, improperly prepared, sloppily shaped, hollow French macaron. Tasty, but wrong. I'm not really sure what happened, but it didn't work. Macarons are supposed to be tricky, so I'm not discouraged, just puzzled.
At least they were tasty.
Large Art Piece, part 2
Sunday, April 5, 2009
This weekend I took my 36" square canvas, mentioned in Large Art Piece, part 1 and painted a piece that reminds me of my hometown. If I ever get bored of the painting, I can always cover it in fabric and paint a chandelier silhouette over it :)

Large Art Piece
Friday, April 3, 2009
I kinda want a large art piece to go above my sofa, like the one above. I think you could hack together a piece inspired by the Duffy London chandelier print, by somehow combining the three ideas below. It could save you $400 (and that's not including shipping), and for thoseof us with a 36" art canvas lying around...

Or maybe it's too much like chandelier decals?
