<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">As you can see I build this sweet baby from the ground up. &nbsp;I got a stuffed animal from a store removed all the stuffing and wired it up to some servos and switches so its neck spins around it's mouth opens and closes and it squaks (which is really annoying) (Please check out me and lloyds earlier post on the making of the bird and to see it in action!!! <a href="http://2pointhome.com/articles/view/46694">http://2pointhome.com/articles/view/46694</a> <span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">). &nbsp;You may also note the enormous hook on my hand and you guessed it....it's REAL baby. &nbsp;No plastic hooks for this seafaring brute!!! &nbsp;To make the hook lighter I built it out of aluminum. Even with it being aluminum it is still very Strong and dangerous (try scraching your nose, ouch!!!) &nbsp;As you can see I have alot of fun for Halloween and I enjoy going out trick or treating with my nieces to get some candy, I love candy!!! &nbsp;If you have any questions please drop a line and I promiss to get back to you as soon as possible!! &nbsp;Here's a little Halloween humor for you "When does a cannibal get up from the dinner table"................."When everybody's eaten!!"</span></span></span></p>]]></description><author>Guru Brian</author><pubDate>Nov 10, 2008 7:21 pm</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Brian on Talon]]></title><link>http://2pointhome.com/articles/view/46551</link><description><![CDATA[<p>When I'm not building crazy stuff I like to relax by getting in some quality coaster time.

<p>For the most part, my summer is going great!</p>
<p>Ever on the lookout for my next wacky machine I have found a show called <a href="http://science.discovery.com/tv-schedules/series.html?paid=48.13785.122178.35769.1" target="_blank">ROBOCARS</a>. It's kinda like American Idol for Gurus.  It's a challenge where they pit anybody and everybody against each other to come up with the best design for a completely autonomous mission -- in this case a road rally race.  It is absolutely mind blowing how they make these cars react to ever changing climates.</p>
<p>Anyway if its too hot outside and you have some time check this show out on the Science Channel (channel 102 on <a href="http://www22.verizon.com/content/fiostv/channel+lineup/channel+lineup.htm" target="_blank">FiOS TV</a>.) It's good for a Guru brain or Brian as the case may be. (Normally I don't advocate TV Watching but this isn't your usual TV fodder.)</p>]]></description><author>Guru Brian</author><pubDate>Jul 15, 2008 3:18 pm</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hairy Chests Are Hot]]></title><link>http://2pointhome.com/articles/view/45546</link><description><![CDATA[<p>

<p>Man, I'm getting too old for these "grand entrances" each episode! This one today at the Wurtz shoot was even tougher than the <a href="../../articles/view/42472">pedicabs at the Buckleys' last season!</a></p>
<p>Black jumpsuits aren't really the best workout wear in the summer time, people. Can't we get a stunt double for these segments and just put my head on their body in the editing room???</p>]]></description><author>Guru Brian</author><pubDate>Jun 04, 2008 5:08 pm</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Catching up with Rich Jaeger]]></title><link>http://2pointhome.com/articles/view/45131</link><description><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="../../casting/event/44958">big tech makeover reveal</a> is tomorrow, so the Jaegers have to hang out in the My Home 2.0 RV one more day while Lloyd, Alison and I work.

Also I'm looking forward to seeing my family this holiday weekend and eating some turkey and pumpkin pie and my mom's special homemade lemon meringue pie !!!</p>
<p>So what's next for this Techno-Guru????  We will have to wait and see!!!!!!!  One thing is for sure we haven't seen the last of this madcap inventor.</p>]]></description><author>Guru Brian</author><pubDate>Nov 17, 2007 5:55 pm</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jesserers Chat]]></title><link>http://2pointhome.com/articles/view/43236</link><description><![CDATA[<p>
