All My Eggs In One Basket

This is the last straw

I just finished an 8-week semester of Intro to Engineering. The first day, Professor Albuquerque said, “Do you know the difference between a doctor and an engineer? A bad doctor can usually only kill one person at a time.”

This was our final project, a contraption designed to catch a raw egg dropped from six feet, made entirely of plastic straws and masking tape. I’ve only killed a couple of eggs so far. Here’s the video evidence. I cleaned up the crime scene with a bit of toast and jam.

I might be playing a show at the Carrboro ArtsCenter on November 16th. We haven’t sold many tickets, and I’ve asked the presenter if they’d like to cancel. It’s not profitable to put on a show for 20 people in a room that holds 200. If you bought a ticket, thank you for being a fan. I’d love to play, but it has to make sense for everyone. Share the link and invite your friends — it will help.

Now, enjoy the nerdiest thing I’ve ever done. Your fan,
