Beyond Cool....I gotta build One

I have been wandering into this place for over two years now, they just keep coming up with cooler and cooler ideas.

I really don't know how things will shake out in the not to near future, but being able to build something like this is maybe something that will help you.  Even if the world marches off to a bright and shiny future, the act of building something like this lets you make something concrete in a world of ephemera.

Couple this with a garbo plant and you might be onto something.
