Knightly Bean

This is me dressed as a knight. I made the shield out of cardboard and the sword out of Perler beads. The sword glows in the dark. Do the eyes on the shield look scary?

Ryan Chalmers and me

Ryan from Push Across America met me at DRES. He is determined to make it from Los Angeles, California to New York City in 71 days. This is his goal of raising awareness of people with disabilities. 

Folks who watch this video will know questions that I asked Ryan. He was on the radio on  May 23, 2013.

Plum Sunset

Drive into the sunset

The delicious sunset

Drive toward the western horizon

Humungous juicy red plum

Bite deep into the sunset

Tasty plum to eat

I like Aye-Ayes!

I like everything about aye-ayes, except the one thing I don't like is that they are endangered. They are related to lemurs and are from Madagascar. They are gray with yellow eyes and big ears. They eat bugs and grubs. They use their middle finger to tap, tap, tap. Ecolocation is how you make a sound, and it bounces off something and comes back to you and you know what is there. They know that a bug is there.

My sound inspired by an aye-aye tapping a tree to find food

My sound inspired by an aye-aye climbing through trees

Lego Quest Challenge #3: Monochromatic

This is a hole in the ground. It's made for an animal to hide from their predators. Sometimes their predators go in to escape from their predators. It is very deep.

Lego Quest Challenge #2: Vessel

A piece of glass protects a moonstone, a precious, precious moonstone. It is sometimes on top of a castle and sometimes in the castle. The blue, small moonstone can attract lightning and it contains the people's powers. The gray thing that is tall, although it is dark, is lightning. Lightning! BOOM! CRASH! BAM! BANG!

 There are four people with four animals that they ride on.  These people guard the moonstone.

Lego Quest Challenge #1: Car

This car can do different things. It can fly. It can drive. It can go under water. It can go floating on water. On the front, there are two long things sticking out. They are lookouts. There is something that tells the people in the car if something is coming. There are two hooks on the front for when it is under water it can pick things up. If they are very new, and can go above land and on it, it will bring it up for other people to see.

It's a three person car. One is at a telephone. One is at the steering wheel. One is at the two buttons that controls if the car is on or off. The people all have the same type of helmet. two of them have the same colors, but the one at the telephone has a darker one.
