First up, there's Marco Facciola (16) (Wlofie and Bunny should find this
interesting):
As a 16-year-old high school student in the International
Baccalaureate program, I am required to complete a 'personal
project' on a non-academic topic that is of interest to me. I have
always enjoyed woodworking and design, so I decided to build a
functional wooden bicycle. There was to be no metal used in its
construction, only wood and glue. I wanted a project that would be a
challenge.

And then there's Andrew Angellotti (17) (most of us should find this one
interesting):
He's finished one, so why not convert a second?
Andrew Angellotti spent nine months and about $6,000 to buy and
transform his gasoline-powered 1988 Mazda B2200 pickup into an
electric vehicle. Now he's doing the same with a 1992 Toyota
Tercel.
And, by the way, he's 17.

It's stories like this that make me feel optimistic about today's
kids.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
