		<description><![CDATA[I presented a tutorial introduction at KansasFest 2010 on the Mindcraft Macrosoft programming language, a macro assembler package that allows the programmer to achieve machine language speed with a high-level Applesoft BASIC-like syntax.  Macrosoft and its companion Assembler run on you favorite 8-bit Apple II.  The presentation was well received, and several people left motivated [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My KansasFest 2010 HackFest entry with source code is now available for your enjoyment.  This entry took second place behind Martin&#8217;s Wizardy crack.  I used Complete Pascal 2.0 with Pegasoft Draw Tools 3.1, both of which are freely available, to create my first 16-bit Apple II program.  The program displays pictures from KansasFest and asks related [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a new video showing off obstacle avoidance. The robot manages to avoid walls, chairs, tables, couches, and a dog (although the dog usually runs away, probably because it knows the robot&#8217;s secret world domination plans). Much work remains, and not enough time remains. I&#8217;ve replaced the motors to increase torque.  The old, faster, lower [...]]]></description>
