Gov. Perry: Robots Are the Future!

• "Listen, and understand. That terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead."

• No one going with a "I for one welcome our new robot overlords"? Has that finally played out? Oh well. I, for one...

• Good grief, if you close your eyes and listen to him, it's like hearing George W. Bush. Those kids to his left are politely nodding with a "spit it out and quit droning, and by the way, what is with the goofy hand gestures, you schmuck?" look on their faces. Or maybe I'm just projecting.

• Rick Perry should know a thing or two about robots, what with his being one himself and all.

• You mean this part? "Now, with the district having chosen to dissolve the Computer Cluster completely, Mr. Quave has returned to Skyline High School where, in addition to teaching BCIS-I, he will be taking the lead to start a Robotics Club there even as he continues to serve as a mentor to Conrad's FRC Team 3005 and be a voice for bringing robotics courses to both schools. For more insight into why he is so adamant about doing that, please read his commentary on the 'Why Robotics Ought to be Taught Everywhere' page."

• Robotics competitions are fully supported activities at many area private schools. Click on the RoboChargers link and check out teacher Larry Quave's bio for a look at how DISD supports anything not TAKS related. Goin going gone. Good Luck, kids.
