Betty by Tony Agustin (?) or Alfred Wong (?)
Here’s an enormous web resource for scale spaceship modelers. I’m not one, as I’m cheating and working 3D most of the time. These guys take days(months) with real materials when I can drop a few volumes with my favorite CG package. I’ve also found there a guy who has made the Alien IV’s Betty from scratch. And his looks better than mine.

That’s simply amazing. My girlfriend, a friend of hers and I have spent half of the evening listening to these old tunes (early 20th century)… Wow, the way I’m talking about the 20th century makes me chill… Sounds like the girl in Snowcrash. Anyway, it’s simply a beautyfull goldmine, filled with old tunes. I love this guy. Pay his site a visit.
TURTLE’S “78 RPM” JUKEBOX
Well, it’s like interesting stuff is pouring tonight. As I’m too lazy to add many commentaries to each (Are you gratefull I stacked them already into this page? What a work…). You’ll find nice commercials, music videos, some fake stuff, mind blowing stuff (Internet kind, the one you fwd to a friend in the minute), and, yadda yadda… Red wine was pouring too this night, and I’m a bit more than just lazy. Have fun.

The only, anymore, SW stuff you’ll see me linking, I swear. The way ad creatives use counter-culture and transgressive topics makes me sick, by the way…

Some pseudo revolutionnary concept about non-linear video. Interesting though, but I need to see more to be convinced.

Did I mention there was some old stuff too ? No ? Sure ?… Good night.

I’ve been reading his blog for the last two weeks and almost every entry was entertaining and worth the read (Yeah, I’m a former anthropologist masochist anyway). That’s perhaps the first time ever I’ve been able to browse people’s page and read their stuff from A to Z without quiting before the end. I mean, internet readings of course.
Briefly. He’s talking about his feelings towards customers (patrons named Guidos), staff, mobsters, VIPs and various topics related to his activity (That’s a part time job though). The guy knows how to write, he also knows how to grab your attention until the end of his stories. I guess his talent would be working on any story, not only stuff taking action in famous clubs around NYC. That’s so far from my world, I can’t say this particular topic interests me much. At least, I worked as a bartender for a while and know for a fact how long the time is and how distracting are the patrons when it comes to help time flee.
Sadly, it seems that he’s kind of stuck into working as a bouncer and telling stories about that until the end of the world. It’s like having some kind of power trips is not totally uninteresting, besides his night shift earns him some needed bucks… Well, I’m not the best person to give an opinion about that, and anyway, I had a pretty good time reading his blog. Now, I’m just waiting for his next entry. Count 2 or 3 a week. that’s a good bargain. I wish him best luck about finding a way to sell his present stories and others in the future of course, making a living about that. That’s what all good storytellers deserve. Clublife
Robosapien hacks
You’ll find beneath two interesting hacks (one seems quite hard to accomplish) if you own a robosapien. I’ve got one myself, and like the other electronic thinguies at home, I’ve searched ways to ehance them the best I could. Unfortunnately, that particular bit of technology is lacking some versatility, such as freedom of movement and some electronic open for week-end modders like me.

Rubick’s cube robot solver
Haa, if after playing with Mindrover for a while, you’d like to taste what’s robotic look like, Lego Mindstorms seems to be a good pick! Look at what this guy has done. A Rubik’s cube solver, made all of Legos. I’m drooling.

Here’s a little bunch of links. I’m a bit tired of harvesting stuff and puting it here. So here’s a selection of what I thought might be some interest for “you”…
So nice song from Radiohead. Pyramid

I’m totally defenseless when exposed to robots on strike Various robots on motion… Such as this footless robot.
Yep, you read well. Untilted. Autechre guys…
Almost inaudible. When it comes to Autechre, I just need to have the right state of mind , like this evening (Most of the time, I just can stick to breakbeat or jungle in loops like a dead fish).
In fact, I guess half of my interest to Autechre is due to the talent of the people who directed their clips (Read Chris Cunningham of course). Some of the tunes are available for direct streaming, hopefully. Thanks for that!
The amount of new robots, or robot-like products is growing. Here’s something interesting. Here’s a cool wrap-up of old and new robots, mostly walking or jumping (Asimo, KHR, HRP-2, Nuvo, Toyota biped, Qrio, Silf, etc…) - plyojump.com
Pay a visit to this site, prior to buy another chicken at the supermarket. Yeah, that’s still good on the bbq, but we tend to forget how it’s made.
You’ll also find chicken free recipes.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Of all the things that can make a person see red, school principal Gail Karwoski was not expecting parents to get huffy about, well, seeing red. At Daniels Farm Elementary School in Trumbull, Connecticut, Karwoski’s teachers grade papers by giving examples of better answers for those students who make mistakes. But that approach meant the kids often found their work covered in red, the color that teachers long have used to grade work.
Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said Tuesday he intends to sign a bill that would allow people who feel threatened on the street, in a bar, at a ball game - or just about anywhere - to “meet force with force” to defend themselves without fear of being prosecuted.
Well… USA, as entity, is a gigantic source of fun and doesn’t even know it. It’s like sitting on top of a pile of gold coins and still eating peas. I guess many people in the USA are getting getting the humor of that but it keeps pouring out of the medias. 
Compare these 2 articles, as a matter of explanation of the USA’s fabulous, underrated, sense of humor.
