Everyone's favorite robot as a stained glass window

I designed and built this window for my good friend Adam, an incredibly creative guy who's always making things for his friends. He lives in Portland, and I was afraid the window would break if I shipped it, so I decided to take it up in person. Since it was slightly too big for an airplane carry-on, I took it on the train from Los Angeles. About thirty hours into the trip, I went outside during a quick stop in Eugene, walked down the block, and the train took off - my bag, my laptop, and R2-D2 chugged along without me.
The nice people at the Amtrak station booked me a bus and called ahead to get all my stuff off the train in Portland, and the window was waiting for me when I arrived a couple hours later. Very nearly a disaster, though!
