Ungh...another downside to working Presidents Day: most of the other groups in the building are out, and somebody is taking advantage of the closure to have some renovation done. We have a jackhammer being used somewhere nearby.

I still have a headache.

*sigh*

For you kids at heart, plans on how to build a 2400 rbpm (rubber band per minute) minigun. It's powered by cheap cordless screwdrivers. Plans and photos here.

Dang, that’s cool. We had a few double-barrel shotguns in our rubber band gun arsenals, but nothing like that!

Heh...I liked the part of the video where they mowed down an army of 3.5” floppy disks and then showed close-ups of the carnage...

I knew that would appeal to the juvenile delinquents among us. Now I just need the ambition to build one.

I are a slacker.

But I’m actually close enough to finishing that I’m feeling a little sentimental about the whole affair. Which is farther than I generally get.

I should get in twenty minutes or so of writing tonight, though, even if I gotta force myself. I have to start a new section, so I need some prodding. Thanks for the reminder!
