Sorry for the extreme lateness of this update, but like I’ve said before, I’m boring.

Have you seen the music video for ‘Pork and Beans’ by Weezer? No? Well here then:
Pork and Beans

Sorry I can’t embed it into my post here, but they (Weezer) have requested that embedding be disabled and I’m choosing to respect that request.

I recognized most of the references in the video. That probably isn’t something to brag about, but I got a kick out of the video because of it.

I’ve received the tooling for the mini-mill and made a few cuts just for kicks. I also got the 9×20 mini-lathe, but I’ve not set that up yet.

I’m still working on learning Haskell, but I’m certain I don’t know enough math to wield it effectively. As such, I’ve begun learning Category Theory. Now my brain hurts. I mean that in the best possible way, though; I rather enjoy math to begin with, and categories are especially cool stuffs in math land. I’ll post more on that later.

Blark.

Here we are, another week into the future. Who knew time travel would be so time consuming?

When I first thought to have weekly updates, I figured I would keep all you happy readers abreast of my latest and greatest projects. As it turns out, I’m slow and boring. Fortunately I know where to find amusing videos. More on that later.

So I’ve been mucking about with Haskell all week. I still can’t get freeglut to work properly. I’ve got a post in the works about it, but I’d like a happy ending so I’m holding onto it until I get a working example.

Here’s another robot I found.

I approve.

So, I went to Video Games Live on Saturday. It rocked. Symphonic Pong is, in a word, awesome.
