Hi! My name’s Russell and I’m one of the Just Say Please programmers. When I’m not working on the latest new features for the Just Say Please websites, I spend my free time helping my friend with his project: The Electric Giraffe.
The Electric Giraffe, (also called Russell!) is a giant robotic giraffe built by my good friend Lindz at his home in San Diego, California. He stands 14′ tall, weighs over a ton, and is a true walking robot. His spots are plexiglass panels lit with computer controlled red/green/blue LEDs. There are almost 1,000 LEDs in total.
The Raffe is constantly under development, and in April/May 2008 I will be heading back to California for the Maker Faire, where the Raffe will be appearing.
