Terror in the making

Tomorrow I'm honored to be a panelist on Talking to the Future, an all-day event at the Computer History Museum.

We'll be talking to 100 high school students about what got us started in technology and science, putting on our own little maker fair for the kids (and yes, ThinBot will be represented, somehow*) and then each of us doing breakout sessions with 20 of the students.

Apparently my mohawk gave their art department some difficulties when posterizing my headshot.

So it (the mohawk) will obviously have to be up in one form or another tomorrow.


* Arthur aka A-9, the cell-phone controlled rover I built for Gallifrey will be there, as will a poster and video of my lab at work, and ThinBot will be there at least as a poster and the new controller.
