I happened to be in a "Salvation
Army" store when I spotted an original Teddy Ruxpin peeking
out at me from a toppled over pile of dilapidated stuffed
animals. He seemed to perk his head up a little and wink at
me ever so slightly as I walked by and so I decided to take
pity on poor Teddy Ruxpin, once the prized possession of every
80's child's toy collection, and adopt him as my own. I bought
Mister Ruxpin for a mere five dollars and proceeded to bring
him back to life, to resurrect him if you will. I had taken
a Physical Computing class in graduate school, which I didn't
take seriously at the time, but I decided maybe now was the
appropriate time to apply that knowledge and thus save poor
Teddy's life! So, I proceeded to use my beloved Arduino to
allow Teddy to tell his classic bedtime stories once more.
However, instead of stories, I decided to make a collection
of some of the most memorable presidential speeches throughout
history for Teddy to declare to all those youngsters out there.
Gee Golly! What a fun time to be alive!
