(...) For those of you that saw me at Mindfest, you may have noticed a rather large tackle box I was carrying. It's the Plano 1258 Guide Box. See (URL) for more info.

Hi all! I am a field research engineer at JPL for the MISR project of the Earth Observation System. Our URL is: www-misr.jpl.nasa.gov. I have been involved with our project's outreach effort for some years and came up with an idea of using Legos to (...) (25 years ago, 5-Nov-99, to lugnet.build)
