i’m back from my trip. i just moved into my new place. i’m switching jobs. fun times. hopefully i get some colombia pictures up soon. and actually post some self-project related stuff. but life is busy.
sorry i’ve been busy. this week is especially busy. this blog was made for lists…so here’s my list for the week:
everything needs to be done by this friday. i can do it!
so i got this fancy robot clock for christmas. three christmases ago. it’s cool, it’s boxed shaped, it’s made out of metal, you can move its arms and legs, and its body is an analog clock. but the problem is i could never figure out how to change the time. the time was wrong and i had no idea how to fix it. id try twisting and fiddling with it’s robotic appendages with no avail. i even sliced a part of my finger off trying to pry it open. so this nice gift just stood on my desk telling me the wrong time all this time. a reminder of the great mysteries of our world.
fast forward to today. i pick it up for my biannual “try to change the time” effort. by now the batteries are long dead. i think the robot is frowning a little more. but i try turning and pulling on its arms once again. twisting its head. i even unscrew some stuff. nothing. but with all the fidgeting i notice the little nob on top of his head is loose. wtf! how did i not notice this before?? you can pull the little nob out and twist it to change the freaking time. so after two years, i figured out how to change the robot time. while i should probably feel really dumb, i’m actually pretty damn thrilled!
maybe i’ll take a picture of it later. but i need to get new batteries.
