Last week I finally noticed the manufacturer's plate on door jam long enough to read it, and saw that my car was built at Honda Manufacturing of Indiana, LLC.

Since I got some cool tunes for Christmas, I'm in the mood to share some IDM sites I had bookmarked on one of the less used Lab Computers: the IDM Warp Zone has some nice links and good samples; and "the light goes green, the trap is clean" the works of one of their artists.

As a young boy, I was suckered into the Japanese obsession with robots by Astro Boy and Johnny Socko. As a teen, this obsession was reinforced by Robotech, Carl Masek's heavily altered version of Japan's incredibly popular Macross series. Now the same people whose car I drive have added AI to their 1.2 m robot, ASIMO (named for the originator of the Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04770589920916498482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543949.post-855441492002-12-05T10:53:00.000-06:002002-12-05T10:53:21.540-06:00During my lunchtimes, I've been reading and posting messages to various Yahoo!

Friend and fellow "blogger" Ned Gulley found Andrew Lipson's LEGO interpretations of Escher's prints, including "Ascending and Descending." In trying to copy the print in three dimensions, Lipson found that the picture was of a spiral and not a circuit, and that the circuity was only apparent from a specific point of view.

On Monday I opened my e-mail to a slew of messages from the weekend, regarding an ongoing discussion of the meaning of "wanker."

At the beginning of each case, the player had to assess the condition of the patient and determine the correct course of treatment, which was usually non-surgical. Key to the assessment was the eye motion/responsiveness test, which weMikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04770589920916498482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543949.post-791083872002-07-18T10:30:00.000-05:002002-07-19T10:44:13.000-05:00How Much is Inside Stuff has to be one of the finest scientific websites going.

He taps me on the shoulder to show me some pages he found on a Google search for cat juggling. "Oh, you can do better than that!" I say, and proceed to run a search of my own.

When the news first broke of an American national being found in the midst of the Taliban forces, and the identity of John Walker Lindh was broadcast across the aether, one of the graduate students in the lab claimed to have grown up next door to John Lindh and to have played with him in their adjoining yards.

Over the years, I've found several sites by and about Onken's and decided to collect them at Onken.org, which I maintain and of which I am the sole visitor. One of my favorite Onken sites is Uwe Onken Fishing Tours.

It has, however, been a long time since I've bought one of her albums or gone to one of her shows, so when I received the upcoming Edison Theatre program guide and read that Laurie Anderson would be doing a show, I was at first leary: not quite knowing what to expect after all these years from her or from me.

The internet has allowed us to peer into and mock the lives of others, not because of some Orwellian invasion of privacy, but because they openly publish their own web pages!

Most of St. Louis' central corridor is within a mile of the proposed route, which will be travelling along the still heavily used Union Pacific line.

Either he's come to the same conclusions as I have, or he's gone a bit off. I'll have to keep an eye on him.
I didn't go to my 15th college reunion, which was, apparently, a mistake, as has been pointed out to me by Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04770589920916498482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543949.post-776164962002-06-11T12:31:00.000-05:002002-06-11T20:39:08.000-05:00I was reading through the posts on one of the many message boards I follow, and there was a mention of some soccer game between England and Argentina.

Many years ago, when I was a youth, my neighbor Alex Jones invited me over to his house to listen to some records that he had checked out of the local library. He had been combing through the comedy albums and found two interesting titles by a group called the Firesign Theatre: "The Case of the Giant Rat of Sumatra," and "Everything You Know is Wrong."

I'm looking for some good sites on Raymond Bernard... because... well... I'm not sure why. I think I'm being mystically drawn to him. World renowned author? Rosicrucian founder of CIRCES? Expert Oenologist? French Filmmaker? Dr. Walter Siegmeister?!

I inherited my present car, a Honda Accord, from my father after it passed the 100,000 mile mark. Like my previous Accord, it runs well and needs little repair - except for the factory-installed stereo system. Some time ago, the stereo began to make popping noises while cutting on and off - raising and lowering the antenna - annoying me greatly, as it prevented me from Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04770589920916498482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543949.post-772888112002-06-03T10:08:00.000-05:002002-06-03T10:08:05.890-05:00I have been a fan of electronic music probably even before my neighbor, Alex, introduced me to Gary Numan in the late Seventies.
