The new picture was taken at the crossing at Calcis Alabama by yours truly on March 5 2005 from Cat’s Mother’s front yard. Was looking for a header picture and came upon this one and with a bit of cropping and both dimming and brighting as well as screwing with the saturation the above is the result.

This is plain weird. And I would love to have several. And may make some. Of some kind anyway. Interesting concept. Kinda like a hunting blind but for citys.
Hanson Robotics : Project > Phillip K. Dick Resurrected

Totally AWSOME!
Wish I could go just to see this if nothing else.
From the site:
“IIS will create the artificial intelligence personality of the robot by mathematically deriving it from Dick’s life and works in a manner very similar to that described by Dick himself in his book We Can Build You (published in 1964). ARRI will supply mechanical and manufacturability engineering support. Their eloquent CAD models will provide a solid foundation.”

Not impressed with the site but the products look interesting. Low power per square foot and a long lifespan cuts the cost down to pennys per day or less. Need to run the figures on this. The initial cost is a bit much but with the long life I guess it’s not that bad. Hope they figure out soon that the red and blue can be intergraded into a single unit with switching to select between them as needed.

I am so glad I don’t watch tv any more. I only have to sort the truth from the lies on line and have a bit of help there. With tv there is no direct feedback to prevent this kind of thing.

A divided Supreme Court ruled Thursday that local governments may seize people’s homes and businesses against their will for private development in a decision anxiously awaited in communities where economic growth often is at war with individual property rights.

And another strike by big government for big business against the people of this formerly fair land.

Techdirt:Microsoft Says: Our Way Or The Spam Folder

Yet another reason to NEVER use a Microsoft product. But if you’ve got to use it (work or s.o. or whatever reason) then get a gmail or yahoo or other online account to allow you to get all of your mail! AOHell tried that and may be still doing it but I try to have nothing to do with that most obtrusive service. I only know 2 folks that still use it and both now have gmail accounts.

NewsForge | OpenOffice.org Writer vs. Microsoft Word
Several years ago I concluded “Opening Up to OpenOffice.org” by saying, “OOo Writer outperforms Microsoft Word in almost every way.” With the release of the version 2.0 beta, that statement is truer than ever. At its worst, OOo Writer is an adequate alternative for Microsoft Word. Most of the time, it is a superior one. And the greater your need for page design features or long document handling, the greater that superiority becomes.

After using OO on 3 different platforms and several more OS’s over several years I have to agree. The styles take a bit of getting use to but in the long run are much easier to use in OO. And importing works much better in later versions. NeoOfficeJis branch for the Mac and what I use most. Just got the latest update yesterday. Nice!

This is interesting! I watched the tutorials and would have to say if it scales at all well it could be a winner! The ease with which a data base is built and controlled is amazing. Gonna have to try it out. Will find out if it will work on one of the pclinux machines.
got 2 up and going right now. One for serving music and the other for a webserver. 2 20 gig hds in each. one for os one for data. may try to set up as raid instead with mirror images on each.
more in a later post.
