That incredible GETV segment
In case you missed it, Eddie posted the segment I told you about a couple posts back, where I interviewed the man making prototypes of an exoskeleton to aid motion and mobility for people with spinal cord injuries. Read the Boing Boing RoboGames wrapup post here; visit the GETV post here.
Me update
Doing okay, but in a daze. I keep finding myself just staring at stuff. I’m now at the point where I need to do things, like things with my hands, but can’t concentrate yet to write, nor do I feel like I’d be safe to work at SRL. It’s okay; I have my machine assignment…

He wants to develop them for paras, quads and SCI people, simply incredible stuff. I shot a video super-quick with the GETV microphone…

Robogames and robome
I just did a hyooge RoboGames coverage post at Metblogs — with more videos, more photos and links to photo streams. (Look at me and Simone, yay!) Last night around midnight I snuck in the Boom Boom Room with a bunch of Marching Band friends and danced, danced, danced on chairs, around the mosh pit……
Robogames 2006 day one
For the first day of RoboGames 2006 today, Eddie and I spent all day filming and interviewing for GETV; now I’m kicking it in our hot San Francisco summer (!) weather with my stilettos off and a cool, delicious inebriant. More pics are in the album I started, RoboGames 2006; a few select photos are…
