Thanks so much for writing those descriptions for The Perfect Circle songs you posted. Your descriptions made me want to listen to each song. I really appreciate you taking the time. The lyrics were also a must. Such interesting songs. Thanks

10/10 for how to sift a video

I remember when he did that. I'm a Vandals and Devo fan, as well as Perfect Circle, NIN -- yeah, pretty much any band he plays with is in my faves list. Josh Freese is a legend!

Agreed on most points. This one is pretty variable though.

For the next decade or two, prosthetics will continue to be sub-optimal replacements for human limbs and only used in cases of extreme trauma. I think these will continue to be the preserve of the rich (they pretty much already are in terms of 1st vs 3rd world).

Eventually, we will get to a point where prosthetics are actually better than the equivalent human limb. That's several decades away IMO (accurate control is doable, but getting to the point of have a prosthetic that relay sensory information is a Really Hard Problem).

At that point, I think we'll very quickly see adoption of prosthetics become mainstream, but it will still be geared towards the relatively wealthy (see present day adoption of smartphones).

But once you get to that point, even the most basic model prosthetic will outperform a human limb. I believe it's almost certain that these kinds of limbs will be "smart", i.e. instead of accepting simple commands from the brain of "contract tricep", "grip fingers", etc, you'll see an arm that draw a perfect circle. And they'll be stronger than a human arm almost by default (not picking up cars strong, support structures aren't there for that, but certainly stronger than an olympic athlete)

So either way, I still don't think we'll see a "prosthetic underclass".

He also does an excellent job of taking advantage of reflections. Take a look at 2:52 - perfect circle.

You don't need to memorize Pi. In fact, it's kind of a waste of time. Any time you need to remember it, just think of a perfect circle and divide it's circumference by it's diameter in your head. Just work the remainders out as far as you need to impress the girl you're trying to sleep with.

Did you know that there's a direct correlation between the decline of Spirograph and the rise in gang activity? Think about it.


Always thought I was the only one that recognized the relationship...should be obvious to anyone who can draw a perfect circle simultaneously with both hands behind their back on a chalkboard!!?

So what is the music?


It's called "The Humbling River" by Puscifer; who is Maynard James Keenan of Tool and A Perfect Circle fame.

this song (specifically the chorus)/her voice/the echo all together remind me a lot of Maynard James K. and old The Perfect Circle... songs like 'Thomas' http://youtu.be/USK1ghU-XGw

... thats kinda funny, huh? probably share a lot of influences.

I had a printer for my TRS-80 that used small ball-point pens. It had 4 pens, black, red, green and blue and could draw some pretty cool shit.

Edit: After doing some searching I found it. It was a called CGP-115 Printer, though technically it's a plotter. It could print graphics like this Lego printer by doing lines, but when printing text it would actually write the letter by moving the pen. It could draw perfect circles and diagonal lines. You can see some of the stuff it could draw in this picture of it.

the song currently playing in my head.
i just wanted to share my insanity.
