Robot Sex Album Notes

I’ve been watching shows about robots entering society, things like Humans, Black Mirror, and Electric Dreams. Humans had an entire subplot about sex with robots. And that gave me the direction for this album – what does robot sex mean? All the ‘vocals’ on this album are synthetic since this is after all an album […]

UGear mechanical box

I found this kit in the Los Angeles Science Center shop. They had a few different UGear models – I settled on the mechanical box. I assembled it in between 1 and 2 hours – it was pretty easy and required no glue. And it works – you can see it on a table in […]

King Tut exhibit

We visited the Los Angeles Science Center to see the King Tut exhibit. The exhibit was really nice – lighting made photography possible, and the texts were very informative. It was really crowded and it was possible to get close to all the objects I wanted to see. As usual I took a lot of […]

Photos from Dequindre Cut in Detroit

A couple weeks ago we visited Detroit; Aviva took me to the Dequindre Cut, a former railroad line that’s now a greenway, walking/biking path, and graffiti art walk. Of course I took some photos and here they are.

Exhibits at the Getty

We went up the hill to visit the Getty Museum – we especially wanted to see the new acquisitions exhibit (including a drawing by Michelangelo). We checked out some of the other special exhibits of course, and here are some pics…

Some pics of Halsey performing at AT&T

We had Halsey on stage at the AT&T El Segundo office on Thursday; unfortunately the video I took ended up in slow motion. I did get a few pictures. The music was really good, it was very loud and the bass was thumping. Along with the food trucks and puppies to pet, it was a […]

Palazzo Strozzi and heading home

As usual we got out late and headed to the Palazzo Strozzi. We had lunch at their cafe which we really liked (I had a burger, Aviva a salad – we needed a break from Italian food). Then we took in the show “Il Cinquecentro a Firenze” which highlighted artwork from the 1500s in Florence. […]

Santa Croce

We got up late and headed out to Santa Croce, which is a huge church built in the 1200s/1300s. On the way we had lunch at a lousy place (we were hungry and in a hurry, a bad travel combination).

Shopping, the Orgnassanti and the Oltrarno

We got out late (we’ve given up trying to get going early – being in an apartment makes it easier to hang around somehow). We walked down a few shopping streets, grabbed lunch, and found some really interesting stores (one that specialized in lighting and a rubber duck shop, for example). The lighting store (Controluce) […]
