Jay Gould’s Photography Blog

I'm kicking myself right now.  It's a good thing I've started biking more and have some new leg strength because I want to feel this.  For years, like many of you, I stored my assortment of computer, television, printer, and general electronic boxes and packaging just in case I needed to send it somewhere or sell it out of back of my pick-up as "gently used."  I finally decided to part with most of my collection when I moved down South.  I figured that with their warranties long gone and vintage computers not having the market share right now, I would not need them to take up space.

THEN CAME THE STYROBOT!

I saw some of these online a few months ago from artist and teacher Michael Salter created several for exhibition.  Then I thought they were awesome, but out of my space limitations.  Then Kevin Kelly over at Geekdad , a blog I greatly enjoy (even though I'm no dad), featured a homemade one at a size I could have handled.

I would have named him "Squeaky," or "Squeakatron."
