As I mentioned in an
earlier post, I've been helping out with a
friend's project to build a kinetic sculpture based on Ernest Hemingway's "A Moveable Feast." While it's been a few months in the making, this past weekend we finally did our first public ride, complete with a full brunch course! Here's a few photos and titles to give you the gist of things!
