The Bots

Sometimes you're just reading along and you come upon something new and great.  That happened this morning when I came across this whole #BOTJOY phenomenon that's incredible.

Gary Hirsch makes these bots on old dominoes and gives them out to people who need them.  He has a Ted Talk and a ton of people around the world have been spreading #BOTJOY based on his idea. I instantly started making a list of materials I need at my local art shop for making the bots.

Here's a little character flaw I have though.  I get kind of wigged out about doing things that other people have done before.  Which is weird and I don't know how I came to be this way.  Everything's already been done and the #BOTJOY project is amazing and the artist wants everyone to steal the idea.

Perhaps I'll work on being more of a copycatter this year.  Or, more of a collaborator.  That's actually not a bad goal. I'm not trying to beat myself up, but honestly, I worry that I'm a snotty brat about controlling my own day to day destiny.  I think it's school re-entry anxiety making me worry about my failures and flaws. Going back to work can be a confidence crusher. Just ignore me.  I'll be fine soon.

Anyway, if you want to come over some time and make some bots, that could be fun.  I'll be home in 2 days.
