Yeah, any excuse to build a new machine…
Today’s entry, involving cool things that blink at VNV concerts, will not be seen at this time, because all the pictures are on the computer that just bit the dust. Ok, the computer’s fine (or as well as it was for the last several years), but one of the drives took to making this loud…

One step closer to my own robot army…
Councillor Hamann: Have you ever been to the engineering level? I love to walk there at night, it’s quite amazing. Would you like to see it? Neo: Sure. Councillor Hamann: Almost no one comes down here, unless, of course, there’s a problem. That’s how it is with people – nobody cares how it works as…

How does a pimp count?
From the archives, when I was (more of) an OCD freak and taped every morning radio show to maintain my exhaustive song parody collection: “How does a pimp count? Ho, ho, ho! Which reminds me – merry Christmas, from Mancow’s moooorning madhouse! On Rock 103.5, Chicago.” I read an opinion piece in the WSJ today…

Eureeka! // Coefficient of odiosity
What’s the best way to say to a housemate who’s twice your size, “Dude, you’re a great guy and all, but you really need to wash your ass once in a while.” And any other parts that water needs to hit but doesn’t. I can tell if he’s merely passed through the hallway 15 minutes…

Crap, do I have gutterbrain or something?
I can’t be the only one who got the wrong idea when glancing across the slashdot headline: Hardware: Satellites Mating Via Robotic Arm “The launch of the Orbital Express mission, with its two satellites ASTRO and NextSat, the first one servicing the other, … I should, you know, sleep or whatever.

Medford street sweeping today
This is a datestamp entry. Backreference (Where all the Tufts students live, the day after a major holiday people typically spend back home with their families. Methinks somebody’s cousin in Mefud needed money to repaint his boat or something.) In the unlikely event that I live in Medford long enough, I’m going to generate a…

RezVibe l’arnins, pt. 1
Ok, so I now have a Dildonics tag for all the trancevibe stuff. It’s an exciting informative journey through the no-man’s land of small volume electronics production. I’m going forward with this project (and documenting it) mostly for my own personal edification. I’ve never developed and commercialized something before (unless you count my childhood four-leaf-clover…

Ok, last rant on these for a while, I swear :P
“This is Habib with Industrial Machinery Magazine(…)” “No thanks.” “It’s an entirely free subscription, which I’ll send out just as soon–” “We’re not interested, we get too many magazines.” “OK, can I just confirm your information–” “Not interested.” “It’ll only take a minute–” “Not interested.” “When should I call back?” “Er… call back? If you…

More @#$% trade magazine peddlers
It must be Horny Sales Douche mating season or something. Do you suppose if I write “BUY NOW” in loud colors on a bottle of saline and throw it out the window, they will leave me alone for a while? *ring ring* Me: (my name and company’s name) Peddler: “Hi my name’s so and so…
