Well, I guess that’s cool if I were more familiar with it. I really haven’t followed Golden’s stuff like I followed Kirby’s stuff. I was just speaking of embarrassing formative influences on the ancient parts of my young brain.

Nina Hagen wins on gigantic vocal range alone. And like Bowie, Sun Ra, George Clinton or Lee Scratch Perry can be considered as evidence that aliens walk among us.

Here’s to:

Yep, most rich people consider driving a boring chore to be left to the help. I think there is something to be understood there.

Yep. Golden could render the contours of the human torso like few others could!

Ah, when I was kid in high school in the late 70s, I remember Marvel’s orignal run of the Micronauts.

Robot cars can’t get here soon enough.

I can see that. Malaria and such.

I took driver’s education back in 1978 at 15.5, the minimum legal age, in the state of Washington, to obtain a learner’s permit. My stepbrothers, both younger than me and suburb dwellers, where a lot more enthusiastic about this than I was.

I remember all the gloom and doom comments on io9 when this mission was launched. To which I countered:

Allow me to quote from the Prophet Miller—

Funny how that works, eh? Businesses are people when it’s convient for them to be and not people when it’s convenient for them to be. The legal system allows companies to redefine themselves, while we human beings are just stuck being people.

Dunno dude, eating match heads seems really risky to me—kinda, you know, sketchy, meth-y and developing worldish. I can see how they’d show Holden doing this to emphasize the wretched poverty of life in the Belt.

Interesting this came up. Earlier today on Giz, I pointed to this MIT video

I’m glad they kept that in the television series, even adding the bit about phosphorous (Or is it sulfur?) from matches to improve the flavor of coffee. (Not that I’d recommend doing that. I mean who knows what other toxic stuff is in matches?)

What kind of hell future are we talking about where abstract physics research has to be funded privately? Is Trump president?

That’s horrifying. That’s the depressing thing I’ve seen all day!

The pathos in the face of this little tiny LEGO guy is palpable!

This is very interesting and hopefully will have many applications in neurology, computational neurology and perhaps medicine too.

E-mail the engineers involved, I’m sure they can share all the details you wanna know. Otherwise random Internet shit stirring only gets dismissed by me. Thanks.
