Today I got the last in a grab bag of robot books I ordered from amazon. It comes with a little kit. The kit is so cute! It comes in one of those back-of-book cd flaps. muscle wire is cool. (I hope I don't think it sucks too much by the end of the book)
And I forgot to brag that poemranker got picked as yahoo's pick of the week july 7th. Which basically ground the site to a halt july 8th. but by the 9th I had tightened a lot of stupid, well-meaning code and it seems to be running more smoothly than I could have hoped (under moderate load... several thousand hits a day...)
