The Marvelou: 26'
Thunderbird
Built from 1982 thru 1984, the Marvelou, a 26 foot sloop was
kept in the family for 22 years and logged 24,000 miles on various cruises
between Puget Sound and Southeast Alaska.
The construction of this
vessel contributed to an appreciation of the consequences of owning ones own
project. Both the long term maintenance and opportunity for experimentation on
different marine systems have been invaluable towards other projects.

SIPA Trade Show Booth: Las Vegas
This is the third trade show booth that Freeman had designed for the
Structural Insulated Panel Association, this one for the 2009-2010
season.
All three booths
have been constructed of SIPS panels, and have been based around the idea of a
"village", as there a number of sub-tenants occupying the individual spaces
within.
This year's booth was designed to be lighter and faster to erect
than in previous years, but also incorporates the most vivid imagery and the
most imaginitive use of SIPS panels to date.

Keg Catapult
This appears to be some sort of team-based activity. Marvin and
a bunch of pals (classmates? teachers?) built a huge catapult to compete with
other teams to see who could launch an empty beer keg the farthest
distance.
They won, isn't it obvious?

The White House Is Our House:
A CD-ROM
Visit
The project was originated by
the Head Usher's Office at the White House, to use technology to share the
treasures of the White House. The ball was picked up by the White House
Historical Association, who involved the American Architectural Foundation, who
hired Autodesk, who in turn hired Ray's company, CyberToys.
The
interface Ray designed is in the form of a rosewood box that the user carries
around on a tour. Marvin arranged for the fabrication of the actual prototype
rosewood box.
