How to turn pigeons into gamblers...

Apps like Tinder (swiping) are based on B.F. Skinner's experiment, conditioning hungry pigeons to believe that food delivered RANDOMLY into a tray was prompted by their pecking. The pigeons began pecking in the hopes of getting extra food -- turning them into GAMBLERS!

StickSaber_v.01

With few friends to play with during Covid-19 quarantine, my neighbor's kid has been playing with a stick to pass the time. He left it out a few days ago so I grabbed it and gave it a Jedi-makeover! 

...His thank-you card after receiving his new saber!

Seawater Reaktor_v.04

Part of how I've spent my Covid-19 quarantine. This functioning "Seawater Reaktor" is comprised of an old coffee maker, boards salvaged from old garden solar lights, various relays and capacitors, conductive paint, an empty trail-mix jar, and a gallon of seawater! It's guarded by Kane and Xenomorph action figures (from Alien, 1979)

Skarebear_v.04

A Portland Skare_Bye_Bear going-away gift for my moving neighbors (who sold their house days before Portland's Covid-19 quarantine)
