What your project?

For the rest of the year that I'm not doing FIRST, I serve on the Cal Poly Pomona Tournament of Roses Parade Float Committee which is responsible for the design and construction of the float.

Up this coming summer I have planned:

• Car stuff (alarm, window tint, neons, stereo upgrades, rims and the like)
• Parties!
• Playing with a woot item I bought the last weekend of build as a frivilous spending item.
• Spring/Summer cleaning of the house and garage.
• New Garage doors (hopefully)
• Spending more time than I was able to last summer with my lil bro and sis hopefully.
• Working on the 2 Mustangs more than likely. ('65 Fastback & '70 Mach 1)
• (we have some parts already in for the Mustangs - yay!)
• Car shows with the '50 Mercury.
• Huge car show in NJ Labor Day weekend.
• Concerts - 1 planned already in Boston, more to come hopefully.
• Buy bike, ride said bike. (used to ride bikes all the time back in the day)
• Lots of other multiple random projects yet to be decided.
• Some N.E.R.D. activities

The only project I already started gathering supplies for is the Carbide Cannon which will be done soon-ish.
Gotta love books.


Team stuff:

• Mini comps
• Planning a 10 year team anniversary party
• Work on the website/webteam
• Fundraising
• Public demonstrations.

That's sick! Floats rock!

I am running my 501(c)3 non-profit corporation (Computers for Communities (http://www.computers4communities.org)). This consumes most of my time. I set up computer labs, move computers around, have conferences, do inspirational speaking, etc. I love what I do. Right now, our biggest initiative is to get CFC spread throughout the country by having other people set up local CFCs in their area to distribute computers that they locally refurbished to people of need in their area. This requires both funding and volunteers. This is my latest challenge.

I also have a bunch of little programming/comp. engin. projects on the side that I do for fun. Maybe one day I will type up the details of some of those. Not today. I'm very tired.

I am not challenging you but, if you say to someone who doesn't know what your talking about, "Yea I want to spread CFC throughout the country" I hope they don't think your talking about Chlorofluorocarbons and your trying to deplete the atmosphere.

That project sounds cool, someone up here at Clarkson was trying to get a program going to have a apartment over in the goverment house or whatever it is called, with computers and college students in there so kid can get help with there homework or just go to hang out with the stundents. It sounded like a really cool project and like it would help the kids too. I don't know what ever happened to it though.
