Congrats to a group of young men with support from trainers, cheerleaders, band, fans, police, bus drivers, et al, for a warm greeting to the Hilltoppers of Western Kentucky in Neyland Stadium today. We know academics is the intended purpose of higher education but the fun of football can be squeezed in between classes, labs and study sessions.

Monoculture vs. Uniculture
Guin’s lab results looked at the lab results, a self-reflexive reexamination of itself.
Did the results reflect its best effort?
Could the results present itself in a better light?
Were the results indicative of a philosophy that it itself did not purport?
When lab results became self-conscious, an unintended consequence of the pervasive ISSA Net, the Internet of Things became a running joke about technology for technology’s sake.
Guin analysed the lab results’ judgment of its self-image, basing her next decision on the lab results’ confidence level.
The survival of the colony no longer depended on her next action…the possible extinction of Homo sapiens in Solar System No. 0000000000000000000001 might.
Yard Art Sculpture Update # ICANTKEEPCOUNT
After setting up an offgrid meeting with the powers that be, using a dance-with-my-shadow practice session as a cover story, I’m returning to the yard art sculpture currently in S-L-O-O-O-O-W-W-W progress.
- Took the old tangerine iMac apart, setting aside the electronic components for later use as/if needed.
- Started mapping out the sculpture’s “face” using a camping lantern and controllable LED strips.
- Looked at converting the battery-powered camping lantern to AC-power.
Still on the to-do list:
- Creating the metal framework for the arms.
- Creating the arms with keyboards and computer mice.
- Creating the body armor using old floppy disks.
- Incorporating an 18-foot LED rope light.
- Deciding how much animation to put into a yard art sculpture exposed to the weather 24/7 —
- Phase/Version 1: easy, wind-activated response
- Phase/Version 2: moderate, motion-activated response
- Phase/Version 3: time-consuming, animatronic interactive response
