The links above lead (individually) to presentations (multiple) {for your sweet consideration} of my explorations in ACTlab to date. Sandy Stone, ACTlab teacher, director, mediator, muse, and ringleader, sez: "The ACTlab is a disruptive technology inserted into the RTF department at UT." It is a multidimensional, multidisciplinary meeting of minds making stuff. Thanks to Sandy and all my fellow ACTLabbies for your inspiration, encouragement, and go-make-it-ive-ness over the year.

Contrary to google search results, Larissa Mueller is not a moon of Neptune, a German shot-putting champion, or a Japanese engineering student with a sweet tooth. She is, however, a magazine advertising industry refugee from California, a hippie ex-redneck with a reading addiction, a graduate student in photojournalism at the University of Texas at Austin, a distance hiker and desert lover, and a very curious person. From her family home in Huntsville, the cultural mecca of Alabama, to the eight years she lived in California... as Johnny Cash would say, of travel she's had her share, man, she's been everywhere. She likes making stuff, doing the robot, capturing the moment, people who hang up their cell phones in elevators, deserts, Dr. Pepper Slurpees and three-alarm spicy food, learning new Farsi words, saving the day, and talking about herself in the third person. She dislikes the letter "c," arrogance, patterned silk shirts, people who say they "can't" sing or dance, mayonnaise, high ISO noise, and dolls.
