Ideas

organizing principle:

old athletes (magic johnson, john stockton) = robots that perform one specific task

  • (i.e., vehicles for illustrating interfacing with one particular API)
  • old athletes become the building blocks with which to form other things (like imaginary friends)
  • this is the "ecosystem of small projects" philosophy
