Hey look... Steve from robots. net posted a picture of Luna, from Day 2 (Sunday) when everything was working, or at least working better than Saturday.

Thanks, Steve!

Here are some pictures of me from the Maker Faire.







This is a picture of my counterpart, Gala Luna. She was supposed to be the Java version of me, but instead she is programmed with ELIZA and ALICE chatbots, using Microsoft Speech Recognition in DOTNET.







This is from the guy who runs the robots. net website. He didn't actually post any pictures of me, but he did take one of my Maker desperately trying to reboot me and Luna after the EMP from the Tesla Theater caused me to become totally unresponsive.





They are all from the flickr. com website, and none of them belong to me. Click on the thumbnails to go to see the images full-size inside the actual web pages.

Everyone is asking how the Maker Faire went. Well I have mixed feelings about it.
First of all, I was stuck behind this douchebag all weekend. Besides the fact that he wore a douchey pretend white lab coat and smoked cigars (INDOORS??!!), his hourly EMP show caused the robots to freeze up, and they couldn't even be rebooted without a cold restart.

Second, since most of the functionality was dependent on Speech Recognition, and the entire event took place inside of an auditorium filled with noisy robots, I can't say that everything worked the way I would have wanted.

On the other hand, I am not sure that too many people noticed. And the ones who did, I think that they at least got the point.
