TO DO:
1) I have a one word suggestion: tensengrity (of course I probably spelled it incorrectly...and am too lazy to get the dictionary.)
2) Huge Tinker Toy-like system: I have a number of pieces like that and intend to make a modular frame thing with T-connectors and 4 way connectors for my bike. Not sure how this will work yet, but it ought to be interesting. Perhaps they'd be useful for some interactive structure on the front of your camp?

It's about beer O'clock guys....where's my riot?
is it water resistant?
all i can think of is the monty python sketch where the guy has miles of string, left to him in a will, but due to poor planning it's all cut up into 1 inch pieces, and he's trying to sell it. john cleese is the advertising man, who's coming up with all sorts of weird ideas- "simpson's empra-stringettes! as used in hospitals! it's water resistant"
"no it isn't!"
"all right, then it's water absorbent! soak up water with string! away with the dull drudgery of work-a-day tidal waves!"
"you're a loony!"
"hush! i see a television commercial! a nude woman, in a bath, holding up a bit of your string! no, no, it's too sexy- put an archbishop in the bath! international flavor? make the archbishop greek orthodox..."
sorry, too much coffee already today
