...and now The Chuck

I think that many kids and no, I am not limiting it to boys, want to create for the sole purpose of creating. A kind of Art for Art's sake idea but what happens when the kid cant figure out what the outlet for this should be? Keith and I talked one day about ideas of Art. What is considered Art? Schools identify, I suppose out of neccesity, Arts and Sciences when really each of them are completely intertwined. The poetry in an Algebraic equation that solves some age old problem. The chemistry of the paint that a painter uses giving him that exact color and texture that he wants to convey his full emotion. I think architecture is a prime example, as well, of the artistic beauty in science. About this point we came across an independently thought up idea of stupid machines. Although some of the specifics were different this idea of machines that didnt really complete much of a task other than to run, a sort of Machine for Machine's sake engineering art thing. At this point we discussed everything from the game Mousetrap to this artist that Keith knew of, that had done something similar. Alas, without the neccesary funds and someplace to do it, it would proabably never get done. Then along comes the Lawndale folks and we thought wouldnt it be cool to actually get to make them. The specifics can be worked out later but for now the idea has taken some shape. Now, just so you know there is much more than what is shown on the pics that we have so fare. Just to make sure we get everything covered there will also bells and whistles, no I am not joking, we are going to actually use bells and whistles for distractions we will also of course need smoke and mirrors, to make our diabolical plan go into action. If we can possibly find any more cliches, they will be used as well. All the while there will be computer moniters with readouts of RPMs, PSI, MPH, ETC. We may even be able to give them a keyboard or mouse to interact, we shall see. There is no telling how far we can go with the information at our finger tips.
