I was surprised myself!

The very best vegetarian meat substitute dish I ever had was in Singapore, and was a tofu-skin "chicken" drumstick with sugarcane in the middle. It didn't really try to be like chicken, but was absolutely delicious.

Bionic arm gives cyborg drummer superhuman skills

Zawash says...

From the article:
For Barnes, the device needed to be able to take cues from the human body. The lab designed a prosthesis that uses a technique called electromyography to pick up on electrical signals in the upper arm muscles. By tensing his biceps, Barnes controls a small motor that changes how tightly the prosthetic arm grips the drumstick and how quickly it moves, vital skills for a drummer.

The researchers then added another layer of complexity: a second, autonomous drumstick on the robot arm (see photo). This second stick, controlled via its own motor, uses a microphone and an accelerometer to sense the rhythm Barnes is playing, as well as music from any nearby musicians. An algorithm then produces a new beat with a complementary rhythm and melody, modelled on the music of jazz greats like John Coltrane and Thelonious Monk.

With this extra artificial intelligence, human and machine combine to make Barnes a kind of "superhuman drummer", Weinberg says.

Stray dog runs 1000 miles to Tibet

I somehow doubt that the last piece of food was the drumstick.

We found a starving homeless dog in Tibet and in spite of us routinely dropping tasty morsels of food, it followed us all the way home!

Why it's good to have a dash camera!

Wife and I were stopped for a red light and the guy in front of us rolled backwards into us. Now we used to drive a truck with a big chrome bumper, so at that slow speed I don't imagine there was any damage, but when we started laughing was when stepped out of his car holding a chicken drumstick and walked up to my window and asked why we hit him. My wife and I replied simultaneously, "You backed into us!" He took a thoughtful bite of his chicken, chewed for a moment, then got back into his car and drove away.

What. The. Hell.
