Stalking Snarkolepsy

If you're still doing your Interweb stalking the old fashioned way, you are seriously missing out. I simply sit back, relax and let Google Alerts do all the hard work for me.

For example, this morning I learned—via my alert for unblinking-eye.com—that I was (or at least my stained glass robots were) being blogged about way back in April... see the comments under that post.

Snarkolepsy has given me a great idea for pushing my robot stained glass panels to the next level—blinking LEDs.

Google Alerts, you shouldn't be withholding this type of information from me for so long!

He's Alive!

I know you've all been wondering what happened to the infamous "State Fair Robot". Well I'm pleased to announce he is finally complete.

Take a gander—he can be yours for a mere $138 (plus shipping, if applicable).

And.... now what?!

Nevermind

Argh! My kiln is dead and I have no eyes for my State Fair robot. Timely timing though.... my kiln warranty expires on September 5.

I'm rethinking the whole procrastination bit. Unforeseen technical issues really get in the way.

Birth of a Robot

You may be wondering what this horrible looking thing is. Worry not, you are simply witnessing the magical birth of a robot. Underneath that thin layer of numbered paper pattern lies (lays? sits....) 63 pieces of glass. What color will it be? How will it look? Will its eyes really be bugging out of its head like that? I'm not telling. You'll have to check back to find out.

MN State Fair... Here I Come

The MN State Fair Creative Activities judges should brace themselves. I'm throwing my hat into the ring and entering category "661 Glass, stained and leaded, 1 ft. to 2 ft. high". I have committed to making a stained glass robot.

I have until Sunday to produce said robot.

I have a pattern cut.

Hmm.
