Ladies and Gentlemen, the moment has arrived we have to srint in the last 800 yards of the race. So, grab your guns, ammunition and crush the competition. Take no prisoners and go for the gold. Your tools of the trade are Welding, drilling, cutting, assembling and debuging whatever problem you encounter in order to achieve a lyrical expression of your project. Tomorrow night I will be there with you in the trenches, eating your stale crackers, consuming lethal amounts of caffeine and other carcinogens throughout the night, until this puppie is completed and perfectly executed like a musical instrument. Thanks to Linc, our model shop head-honcho, Zach and Matias for being a nuasance, but most importantly thanks to Judith who keeps us all safe and out jail for getting too carried away. So, when I show up tomorrow at dusk, I expect you to say, "Captain, my captain, we have not let ourselves down" and the rest of the night and wee hours will be fulled of pizzas, Starbucks and catnaps so when the sun comes up, I want to see lifeless bodies all over the IDC as momentos of living it all on the battlefield.September 2006 October 2006 November 2006 January 2007 March 2007 April 2007 May 2007 June 2007 October 2007 November 2007 December 2007 January 2008 February 2008 March 2008 April 2008 May 2008 June 2008 July 2008 August 2008 September 2008 October 2008 November 2008 December 2008 January 2009 February 2009 March 2009 April 2009 May 2009 July 2009 August 2009 October 2009 November 2009 December 2009 January 2010 February 2010 March 2010 April 2010
