New Old Rope
I now have a 60 meters of used rope to build my next units. Special thanks go out to the great folks at the City Climbers Club. Once my final mechanical designs are done this week, I will be building again.

March 28 Drawings
This time, I'm making drawings with Jarnal -- an alternative to Windows Journal for the tablet PC. Jarnal saves its files as scalable vector graphics (.svg), so I should be able to using Processing to manipulate them later.

March 24 Drawings
Here is a zoomed out progression of the drawings I made on March 24.
There were three drawings in this set I liked, so I've included them below. There drawings were made in the Windows Journal application on my tablet PC.
One unfortunate thing about the Windows Journal application is that it can only export low-res black and white .tiff files or heavily dithered colored .jpgs. There is no way (other than writing some .NET code using the Microsoft Journal SDK) to extract the vector graphics from a Journal file. I tried to print these images to .pdf, but the .pdf renderer doesn't understand z-order, so the images where practically garbled.
I used to think that drawings like this were just doodles or scribbles; however, having taken the time to focus exclusively on this process, I find that while these drawings are not representational, they are not mere scribbles.

These drawings were made rapidly while I was at my wife's family home for the Easter weekend.
