I've gotten un-lazy - quite an amazing accomplishment if you know me. Well, I should say, un-lazy enough to finally get around to finishing up my driving lessons. The place I'm taking them at, Cam's Auto School takes the brute-force way of getting the required classroom hours. They generally have 15 numbered classes total, a good 2-4 classes in a given day, and let you pick when you take them. This is well and good, but it leads to a sort of over-dosing on them. I've been taking as many as I can wake up for for the last few days and I'm starting to feel a bit like Gir getting high on the power conduit that emitted stupidity. I can't take the high-school mentality students and teachers; I don't need to be babied and told to watch Yet Another Pathetic Attempt To Get Kids Interested In Seatbelt Safety™ videos.

I will hopefully be heading out to Rochester late the 30^th or the 1^st so I can help with last-minute construction and coding. If you're in the Rochester area or at RIT, make sure to stop by the ice rink, as that's where the competition is held. There is no admission fee and you can see all sorts of nifty robots and gadgets.

Those who know me, should be asking "my goodness! Steve has something planned out nearly a week in advance!" To which I reply "That's not a question, but thank you for your concern. I assure you, I truly have no idea what I'll be doing past the aforementioned plans, so you shouldn't worry. I'm not --MUST CRUSH ALL HUMANS -- a robot." "*gasp!*" "And by the way, I have some nifty dressing rooms I'd like you to check out..."
