- Each coin requires its own handmade wire coil which explodes during the shrinking process.
Some voters at a McCain-Palin rally in Ohio. They “don’t know” if Obama is a terrorist. Some say he is. Some say Palin has given more interviews than Obama. These people are clearly getting their information from a single source. One woman complains about Obama forming ACORN having only heard of it that day. These people are not mentally deficient, but they definitely are not thinking. Again, it is very important that you get out and vote.

This is the 3 Million dollar “projector” that Obama wanted to buy. It’s capable of accurately representing a night sky in full color and motion.

This project was an experiment in embodying the virtual into our physical world. Our attitude towards this robot is different from a virtual computer player, losing from it more annoying as he is sitting right next to you. Our interaction becomes richer as you could for example cheat by blocking his sight.
The Pong Robot illustrates the narrowness of human-computer interaction at the moment. With one webcam and two electro-fingers you can mimic it…
Are computer reducing us to an eye and a set of fingers?

Perambulation
n.
1. The act of perambulating; traversing. Bacon.

Extremely cold weather can be hazardous, even fatal, to people living on the street. With the goal of minimizing risk, injury, or death due to exposure, many cities issue a Cold Weather Alert. A Cold Weather Alert is a short-term, emergency response, which remains in effect for the duration of the extreme weather conditions. An alert is called when Environment Canada forecasts one of the following:
• a low of -15ºC without wind chill
• a wind chill advisory for outdoor activity
• extreme weather conditions, such as a blizzard or ice storm
The hope is that fewer people will sleep outside during extreme conditions. But the reality is not everyone is able, or willing, to get off the streets for the night.

Englishman Simon Daglish and his middle-aged, white-collar friends had an outlandish notion: They would trudge to the South Pole along Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s 1912 route with the same type of gear the heroic British explorer used, from reindeer boots and beaver-skin mitts to oatmeal biscuits and bamboo ski poles.
I had a beaten-up Porsche shell delivered to his porch for his 50th birthday. He never said anything, but not long after, I found a crate of molten metal delivered to the living room of my (rented) house. It dented the floor. I then had it turned into a really ugly sculpture and dropped into his garden. To this day, neither one of us has ever mentioned it.

Sadly, this has been true since at least 2000, and I would push it back to 1980, with Reagan:
“Now, I want to be clear and speak directly to those of you who LOVED that Palin interview. You’re an idiot. I mean that. This is not one of those cases where we’re going to agree to disagree. This isn’t one of those situations where we debate it passionately and then walk away thinking that the other guy is wrong but argued well. I’m not going to think of you as a thoughtful but misguided person with different ideas who still really cares about the country and the world. No, sorry, not this time. This time, if you watched that interview and weren’t scared out of your freakin’ mind, then you’re mentally ill, mentally disabled, or mentally disturbed. What you are »
