Crunch time
28 05 2008Yesterday was a LONG LONG day, like any other days I guess.
Remaining cut bricks at Machineous got delivered to the gallery early in the morning, so only job that’s left to do is to build the pavillion and cleaning up the mess. Surprisingly more people than usual were helping out the assembly team.
Greg dropped by late afternoon to see how it’s coming together.
Now that the wall is taller and top has to be connected, it is a bit more difficult for the blobbers to put those bricks together.

For the love of Blobtown…
26 05 2008Look who got caught working all by himself tonight?
So here’s current status of the Team Assemblage:
1. People disappear. (What else is new…)
2. Three out of Five soldering irons busted.
3. Lots of patching work needed.
4. Scaffolding action much needed at this point; we just hope that when all the bricks are connected our blobwall stays up!

Special tribute to blob town citizens
24 05 2008To my esteemed colleague,
I would like to take this opportunity to reflect upon our successes, and look forward towards new goals. With these new goals we will be equipped to reach ever higher in the world of robotic arm design and success. together, with your support, I believe we can achieve our goal. In the short term we shall strive for accuracy, not only in the color of the blob’s skin, but in making sure that no blob gets only half of the cuts it deserves. every blob we cut today shall not be left on the floor by the bathroom to slowly descend into the slums of the blobtown and be a stain on blob society. Rather, every blob we pass through this shop shall have both of it’s sides cut, and all chances to sing in unison with the fellow members of the Blobwall Pavilion. The harmony of the blobwall will grow better with every well prepared blob it accumulates; and this c-lu is our goal for you and me today.
In the larger picture, our goal is to run for mayor and vice mayor of blobtown, and pass laws allowing more 214s to immigrate to our town. We will also befriend and unite with neighboring blob walls of different color families.
Best of luck in achieving these goals.
Together we can make change.
This message was endorsed by michelle paul for mayor of blobtown.

Assembly Day 5: Blob Day 40
23 05 2008Today was bit of a slower day for assembly team. Not enough people showed up, so a lot was focused on patching those gaps in between bricks.
Cutting team didn’t really have a smooth day at Machineous either since a lot of paths were messed up. BOO to some folks at Programming team, thus, Ben + ChiaHwa are still working at the computer lab right now, almost midnite on fri nite. Without these devoted people, blobtown won’t be happening for sure!
Nick and Ben earlier the day went to pick up the last batch of bricks at C-PAK, so no more 90mile-each way trip to San Bernardino anymore.
