GalacticMu

Hi kiddies. Me and my spacebuddy Sunday Williams have a new nerdy blog baby named GalacticMu.
Swing by and check out the robotic goodness.

Been to Providence, RI?

We're thinking about moving to Providence RI at some point and I was wondering if any of you could give me some insight into the place. I've done a lot of research and it looks pretty perfect (well, NYC is perfect but 3.5 hours away will do for now). Any info would be …

Ron Mueck

I just found out that the absolutely brilliant Ron Mueck is at The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth through October 21st. We're going on a road trip up to Ohio soon and we're going to detour through Ft. Worth for this. I'm so excited to finally see this in person!

Ron Vander Ende

I absolutely love Ron Vander Ende's work. He does basrelief paintings on reclaimed timber that remind me of Syd Mead and the old school futurists. Really gorgeous work that I'd love to own.

What I learned over summer vacation:

1. Never go 5 years without seeing people you love as much as I love Sunday & Mike. If Sunday ever offers to make anything food related for you, do not say no.

2. a) never fly Delta, b) never check luggage on a connecting flight- we finally got our stuff one day …

Opera woes

I got the long awaited DS Browser, which uses Opera, yesterday... only to find that my profile is totally frelled up in Opera. I've never used Opera before (believe it or not) so I downloaded it and was pleasantly surprised to find that it allows you to edit the source …

Found baby

This Saturday I was sitting outside and saw a big possum creeping by me trying to get her baby to stay on her back. It kept falling off and last time it did she ran off and left it wailing in the parking lot. There are so many cats around here we decided to put the baby …

Is lab grown pork treif? Talk amongst yourselves.

Dutch researchers are trying to grow pork meat in a laboratory with the goal of feeding millions without the need to raise and slaughter animals.

Interesting... but pretty icky. I know plenty of people who won't even eat soy based meat substitutes, I can't imagine …

The Joker

I wasn't all that excited when I heard I-cain't-quit-you Heath Ledger was going to be the Joker in the Dark Knight, then I saw this.

First look at the Joker.

Just start typing in the space for your email- it will reveal the image. Neat.

Airlock Houston

Ug, Houston bores me to tears. Looking forward to the June trip to NYC, and then on to OH to seriously dork out with my spacebuddy at MidWestCon. Anybody else going? The last one I went to was the StarTrek Con in Seattle, where me and Sunday hit on young Icheb, and …

Where's my Jetpack?

When I was a kid I honestly thought I'd be dailing up my wheaties and trying to decide if I wanted to live offworld by now (ELO's Time, anyone?). I'd have even taken living in the City of Domes... Instead I got some broadband and iPod. You too? Commiserate away with …

Twitter... flutters, dies, falls to ground

Ug, I'm disappointed with Twitter. The flash badge I have embedded updates sporadically, sometimes taking 3 days to show new tweets, which utterly defeats the point of using it, eh? Even on Twitter's site, in the section to get their badges, its showing an update from …

VR like it's 1989

I know its probably goofy, but I still get all googly eyed over a good qtvr panorama. Maybe I just need to travel more. Here's a whole bunch of them:

This Weekend: Blinkybug

I have about a ton of books on junkbots, etc. but I just never get around to it. So I'm going to try to buckle down and make this simple Blinkybug this weekend. My ultimate goal is to make a bot for my little dog- The Gertie Annoyer Bot: it would follow her around the …

I am 8 bit

Gah, I would've loved to have gone to this show.
Here's a link to a photo gallery at i-mockery which has some on the work on display. I'm especially loving the Joust toile about halfway down the page. And for the lazy, here's what flickr has on the show.

Gocco's Return

Gocco's coming back everybody. Apparently new models (that have been available in Japan and Australia) will be available in the US sometime this summer! For a refresher in gocco see here and for the new pg 5 model go here.

yay!

Nintendo Controller Wallet

I really like these cute cassette wallets from designboom but lordy, $40?

m' kay, how about something a little cheaper:

Callsign Battle.... yotz

Well, I guess I gotta retire the old callsign (since '98, bitches). Seems Battlegate is now the name of some guy's stupid web comic and the new DBZ universe. Gah! What the hell am I going to screen on my freaking maintenance bay jumper for MidwestCon? (kicks the floor)

Holy crap... its Mocha

Ok, in case you haven't lost your eyes over this, here you go: eye plucking cuteness.

The plucking continues with the slightly grody Sleepy Mocha Baby video.
