I am leaving this robot arm by the machine." Immediately, nothing in the world is as essential as making the proper interface between the machine and the robot arm, and putting the robot arm under your control, and figuring a way to create a system where the robot arm knows what the hell it is doing." - - -[[Reading List Index]] diff --git a/Reading List - Hocus Pocus.md b/Reading List - Hocus Pocus.md deleted file mode 100644 index df21764..0000000 --- a/Reading List - Hocus Pocus.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,27 +0,0 @@ ---- -title: Reading List - Hocus Pocus -tags: [ readinglist/read, readinglist/libby ] ---- - -# Title: Hocus Pocus & The All New Sequel - -## Author: A.W.

If so, I hope they don't base it on this book (or at least make some sweeping changes) - -There was not enough of the original cast and at times the story was darker than I'd expect a sequel to the movie to be (the "Switching Spell" sends people to Hell?) - -An effort to update us on the exploits of the Sanderson legend and the original cast involved falls flat without enough background on the newly introduced characters (another Sanderson sister?
