In the morning I messed around in the auditorium on some AV items. I replaced a bunch of AAA batteries in various things, made a list of problems, and emailed it to Gerald of IT. Then I prepared an instruction sheet on how to pair a bluetooth device with our sound system, for the AV meeting on Friday. Then there was the writers meeting at 11. I hadn’t written anything.
David M. had put out a notice that a painting by his son had won 2nd place in an art show sponsored by University Arts, an art supply store that used to be on University avenue but now is in Redwood City. Anyway, the art show sounded interesting so I drove up there. Actually I was more interested in just walking around this huge art supply store. So many kinds of paint and pencils and suchlike. Then stopped at the hardware store to buy more AAAs.
The promised delivery robot has appeared in our dining room. I tried to get a video of it in operation but it didn’t come out well, I’ll try again tomorrow. Anyway, it’s a pretty little cylinder about 24 inches in diameter and 40 inches high, with a screen on top, and open tray levels inside. It quietly rolls out of the kitchen carrying the plates for one table, rolls to the table and waits for a server to come by and put the plates in front of the diners. Then it rolls away. The only programming involved, as I see it, was creating a map of the dining room and tables so it would know where to roll to deliver to table 36 for example.
