zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I finally got a bite. :)

Well that takes care of my Halloween decorations this year. Now I just need to find a dog and a giant spider to skin.

Here are the two things I have learned about anger:

Imposter Cell Phone Towers Could Be a Controlling Your Phone should be

What happens in the lab, stays in the lab.

Ahhhh those were the days. You could always find your phone. It was shiny black. Big as a toaster. Weighed 5 pounds. Jacked into the wall.

That sounds very reasonable. I imagine the "truth will out" as they say.

"locations of 17 mysterious cell towers"

Somebody check Google Earth. Enhance!

Agree. Something made for the moment and throwaway. And we know how aesthetics change over millennia.

Without even reading the article, this sounds like bullshit scare tactics to sell phones. First off, I doubt the FCC would allow it. Second, I am sure the telcos would not allow it. Third, I have written the cell selection and cell hopping algorithms in cellphones, and a phone won't hop to an unrecognized tower. …

I imagine this really is the look of the distant future. First, I predict structures will be self-assembled and have a more organic look. Second, I predict structures will be dynamic, adaptable, self-repairing, and self-modifying giving them the "tacked on" look of the drawing (think stalactites, stalagmites).…

Wow! I totally remember reading that when I was a boy! I still remember it, especially the ending. Remember Bread's song "If". :)

Me too. In fact it was the first computer I ever *saw*. The teletype was in the office at our high school connected to a PDP-8. The second I touched it, I felt a sort of tingle, and I was hooked. I taught myself BASIC. Still love computers all these years later. :)

I think part of the revulsion is our evolved distaste for odd or asymmetrical faces because of the association with disease.

Thanks so much, Lauren. Right before bedtime. Excuse me while I go watch a bunch of kitten videos.

P.S. I got the free retro lunar lander app on my iphone. Lots of 1970's teletype BASIC goodness. Welcome to my world... 4 decades ago. ;)

Ohhhhh.... a *salesman* ... why didn't you say so.
