Two and two make six, if each two made one [baby] but up to 20 if each two included an octomom.
Therefore, I dug through the piles of defunct/archaic electronic equipment and pulled out the following — a tangerine iMac with keyboard and mouse, a Macintosh II with a 14″ Macintosh monitor, keyboard and mouse, and boxes upon bags of floppy disks.
Next on my list of projects-yet-to-be is to convert these items into an interactive front yard art sculpture.
The tangerine iMac will be the head, the Mac II case will be the torso, the 14″ monitor will be the pelvis and the floppy disks will be the scaly skin of the knight in shiny armour jousting at imaginary windmills (or mosquitoes, depending on the season). The keyboards may be arms and the mouseys may be hands — I don’t know yet.
Somewhere in my garage, I have a motion sensor security light that I will use as an activator to entertain passersby who will see the Simple Simon of a body move about when they pass by.
