Highland Aire

I just finished a row. It’s about 99% humidity this morning, which, to credit Chris Wedge, reminds me of having just rowed inside someone’s mouth.

Chris and I used to ride our bikes together when we were at CGRG. That was back in my racing days, I was decidedly a mediocre racer1 but I had a lot of fun. That was right when Greg Lemond became the gr

Travels in the uncanny valley
Here's a screencast of my talk at the Rochester Institute of Technology Symposium on VR/AR Technology.

"Our hero, our hero, claims a warrior's heart

IMSAI 8080
Back and forth in time…

The IMSAI 8080 was the first "clone" microcomputer, introduced in 1975 – a lower cost version of the MITS Altair 8800, introduced a year earlier in 1974. I first saw the Altair on the cover of Popular Electronics. Dad got me a subscription to PE because of my insane interest in taking apart phones and other electronics that he brought home. I was very go
