my digital rights-hero and SF-author of choice, cory doctorow, has been threatened by a pr-manager of a software company for blogging on the potential risks of starforce anti-copying software: http://www.boingboing.net/2006/01/31/starforce_threatens_.html
the guy seems pretty carried away "... lies! 11 intl. laws! FBI! ..."
amusing, if it wasn't bothering too!

Life Ahead
finding this image of an i-pod inspired tattoo has triggered something in me ...
somehow i think it would be a really great idea to give away free tattoos with the ROBOEXOTICA-logo (and webaddress) at this year's event ...
just have to find a tattoo-master who would like some promo ...
i don't think it's been done before, has it?

This Is The Life
meanwhile i found out about cory doctorow's post on boingboing, quoting will knight's article on NewScientist about a beer-pouring bot given away by a japanese beer company ... quoting me on the bright future of home robotics!
it doesn't happen every day, so i am afraid, i will not be able to maintain this standard of sensational news ;)
meanwhile also the sun has been switched off and i've gotten my butt out of the apartment, if only to the supermarket ...

Why I Started The Life
guess i got ambitious after creating that 23hq account and starting to share pics ...
(actually i had to realize this ain't my first blog after all - last year i started a "diary" on robots.net! )
seriously: i spent the last years convinced i was not a blogging person ... so what is my excuse?
nevermind, i'll just go ahead web-logging things, and surprise myself in doing so!
here we go:
- it's half past one, i am past my 2nd espresso
- sun is turned on, still outside its fookin cold
- i am about to prepare a third espresso, of course i am using a stomach-friendly bean, with all the caffeine remaining but those evil bitter molecules removed. had to switch about 2 or 3 years ago, a pill for my stomach is among my medications
- my health! i recently finished a series of physio-therapy for my back. and also a group-therapy for pain-management, that was a series of 8 sessions with a doc, a one-on-one with the doc is to follow, the group has plans to meet on their own. funny thing was i was not only the youngest but also the only male in the group.
most things to be "learned" i was already aware of, but for me it was really quite new and welcome experience to get to know people with the exact same problems, caused by different pains. trying to say, with different causes for their pains, people still tend to have the same difficulties functioning in the world.
- third coffee is here with me. ah.
