puchan: i used to do this... back in the day.
puchan: um
puchan: i would get masking tape or sheets of adhesive paper or soemthing...
puchan: then print out the letters and transfer them on the masking tape and then cut it out with a exacto knife
puchan: stick it on the thing I wanted to stencil and then spray paint or whatever.
puchan: it is kind of laborous, but it is good if you don't have a proper screeniprinting kit
puchan: laborious
puchan: i used masking tape cause then it wasn't too sticky
puchan: oh i bet you can use those "temporary" tapes that you can get at the office supply store nowadays.
puchan: they are less tacky
puchan: i made a bunch of screenprinted looking "police" caps for a movie once like that

Spoke to Kaho this weekend. She's never worked with Gumstix, but said I should take a look at this thing. It's really cheap, so I'm a little confused. But she's gonna be here this week, so we can talk about it then.   

Found these gorgeous beauties on Court street today. Weeks of looking for cases online yielded nothing, and I just stumbled onto these by chance. Now I need to figure out how to make a really good stencil.

This project is about fantasy and make believe, which I guess is what all of my projects are about. As a kid I always preferred the kind of play that involved inventing worlds and characters over sports or organized games with rules. And later when I played RPGs I didn't care about all the dice and the charts and what not, I just wanted to play with my imagination.

1. Stegoshark 2. Talk to kaho about gumstix 3. Talk to john about using his camera for EB1 photos 4. Prepare HG cases for mission 5. Learn more about how to customize blog/wiki

The East River Angler wiki is a collaborative make believe project where people imagine the exotic species of fish living in the east river and tell fish stories about them. Everybody gets to draw and write about as many fish as they want, and create a new mythology for the East River.

Willy is big enough that we could build a whole pc into it. Run Linux, and run whatever sensors we want to. It'll be a lot more powerful and won't have any of the size limitations the little processors did. Plus it could run it's own database. I'm gonna see if I can get a salvage pc from somewhere. Craigslist or something. Hook me up with your old PC if you're just gonna trash yours.
