Wow, I'm (almost) embarassed that two of my robots are depicted on the LEGO
page.  There were certainly a lot of much cooler robots at MindFest than
mine, but I'm not complaining...

Hey, at least you designed something and got it on the page.  My Mindfest
embarrassment runs deeper...


I wouldn't be embarased none of the non-robotics stuff made it.  Which is of no
supprise seeing that was the main theme of the event.  I think most of the
stuff other than Henry's call at the NELUG table would be considered Modeling
or Art and they probably don't consider that tinkering or invention.

Your model is great by the way.  Every time I try and do a modernish or real
building it comes out looking like 4 walls and a roof with no imagination
whatsoever.  Maybe one of these days I will pick up a nack for buildings that
obviously you have and I don't yet.

I also just sent e-mail to Russell Stoll asking if he could add that I am a
member of NELUG (and damn proud of it!) to the caption(s).

And it seems he did.

It's almost tempting to ask that he spell out what NELUG is and/or link it to
the website, but that would seem to be pushing it...  but wow!  An offical
LEGO mention of NELUG.  That is pretty cool.


3 Times no less for Chris' 2 pics and Henry's.

And once again, kudos to the Mindstorms web team for being so responsive to
getting Henry's name on his... model?  robot?... design.


Kudos for sure.  I could not believe they didn't get Henry's name.  Obviously
the people that run the Mindstorms web page are more on the ball and responsive
than those at the general LEGO web site.  Hey I mean you can actually navigate
the Mindstorms site.  What a concept.

(...) Ironically, they originally did spell out "The New England LEGO Users' Group" under Henry's picture. It seems that when they added "NELUG" to my captions, they also acronym-ized his caption. (They're almost _too_ responsive!) My theory as to (...) (25 years ago, 2-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.events)
