2010 Austin Camp Shopbot

[billp]

Still not looking good in terms of flights. They canceled my first flight today, and the airport is now closed until at least 2 PM ( my next alleged flight is at 3:15 and only if the plane coming in from Dallas can land...)SO there is a good chance I may not make this one...
If anyone planning to attend has a computer projector they might want to bring it would sure make things easier. If not we'll have to rent one locally...If you have one please contact Wayne. Thanks !

OK, I can't get there from here apparently as they just canceled the latest flight ( and last theoretically scheduled for today...). SO I will not be able to join in on the festivities this weekend...
I'd ask that anyone who takes pictures at the Camp please send me a copy ( and a brief explanation of what you took the picture of...)so I can post them on the Camp Flickr page.
Have a great Camp !

Sorry we will miss you this year Bill. Had a good turnout yesterday. I will send you some pictures. Hope you can get home through that mess.

Thanks Mike, I just got a call from Doug Strickland filling me in on some of yesterday's action.
They have now rescheduled my flight to Austin for MONDAY the 1st of March so I know I'm not gonna make it.....

Austin pix !!!
Randy Rice was kind enough to send us a bunch of pictures he took at the Camp. I've posted them on the Camp Flickr page; http://www.flickr.com/photos/campshopbot/
Some of them are missing captions because I don't have info on them. If anyone can fill me in, please do so . ( And no, I have NO idea about the bat either...)

The bat was a demo done at the camp. Pilot error resulted in the text being backwards. It looks great in a mirror.

Thanks to everyone who attended the camp. I enjoyed it immensely and learned some new things which I intend to use.

That was a bat? I thought it was a rolling pin to put a logo in the dough!

Ken,
You have management potential.....

ken,
my guess was similar to you only I thought something different. Do you remember from grade school or high school these machines called "mimeograph" printers (mim-e-o-graph) machines that rolled over a paper and printed the page. I can still recall the smell of that ink, can you? That was what that carving remindd me of.
