Malibu Hindu Temple and metal animals at Oasis Imports

We decided to go for a drive yesterday; Aviva had rediscovered the Malibu Hindu Temple and we both wanted to check it out. So we bundled all three of us, including Iggy, into the car and drove to Malibu. The temple is quite impressive as you can tell from the pictures below. Best of all, […]

Iggy’s first long car ride, the Chemosphere house, and the Hollywood Bowl

Yesterday we took Iggy for his first longish car trip; we decided to drive down Mulholland drive from Laurel Canyon to the 101. Our first stop was the Chemosphere house; this is a famous architectural landmark designed by John Lautner, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, in 1960. It looks like a space ship landed […]

Iggy chasing his leg

Iggy gets excited when he sees his reflection in the mirror – today he got so excited he chased his leg. You see, they dock a schipperke’s tail as very young pups, so they chase their legs instead of their tails (naturally).

Why unfollowing everyone is un-Twitter

I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and I think @ev is wrong; I think unfollowing almost everyone is a bad idea. Let’s say you only follow a few people; why should a lot of people follow you? Because you tweet good content? That turns Twitter into a broadcast medium, which I think would […]

Iggy! Our new puppy!

Our beloved dog Basil died three weeks ago, and we just couldn’t be without a schipperke. We contacted all the schipperke breeders in southern California and found two puppies. One of those pups is Jake, who is now Iggy (yes, after Iggy Pop) and a member of our family! A made a little video aggregate […]

Introduction This post was started because I get asked regularly if I ever sleep. I do, typically from 10P Pacific time til about 4:30A each night (regular sleep hours are best after all). But, you might not know that if you look at my tweet stream, since I have tweets happening at all hours of […]

The Bliptronic 5000 from @ThinkGeek – A Tenori-on for the rest of us

I first saw the Tenori-on in a video by Little Boots; it is a real-time, matrix input musical instrument.  It is also very expensive (to me at least) at $999.00 (a less expensive plastic cased version is coming out soon). I got the regular “what’s new” email from ThinkGeek and I skimmed it.  I saw the […]

Spykee, the spy robot, by Meccano

I got a Spykee robot kit from http://www.woot.com on sale; I had some time recently so I assembled the robot. The kit comes in a square box about a foot on each side; inside are lots of small parts including screws and the tools required to assemble a robot. I choose to assemble the default […]

Bug robot

I got this robot a while ago, somewhere in Chicago.  Its modeled after an insect as it has six legs and wings (but not a tri-part body, hummm). And its claim to fame is that it will identify obstacles with its antenna, back to the side and then go forward, eventually going past most obstacles. […]
