Hard to reach this weekend


Blogging from the road and might not have great access for the next few days. I'm in Japan with Sergey Brin checking out these new sex robots that some guys from Tokyo University are developing. (As you can see, the early models aren't great -- they go for this punk rock look, a total turnoff for me.) But they're getting better, and basically the deal is for $250,000 they'll make one to spec for you. Sergey wants them to make him a bot that looks like Scarlett Johansson but is a shemale. (I'm not asking any questions.) I've brought over a Mitchell Aidelbaum photo of Bike Helmet Girl and a shot of Veronica Belmont taken from her flickr page. When I showed them the photo of Bike Helmet Girl the Japanese dudes all started panicking and freaking out and talking a mile a minute to each other. Finally the one dude who can speak English says, Jobs-san, my colleagues want to know, please tell us, what is name of company that make this robot? I told them she's not a robot, she's a real girl, she was at a party in San Francisco. Guy goes, No, no, this is not human. This is robot. Very very good likeness, but robot, most certainly. German made, we think. Where you see her? I told them I've never actually met her, just traded email. But I think she lives in San Francisco. The Japanese dudes all have this conference, and then they say to Sergey, Brin-san, we must go to San Francisco and find her, can you take us in your party plane? Brin says sure, no problem, but we're heading to Shanghai for the weekend, but we'll stop and pick you guys up on the way back.

Well, more later. Peace out.

Job-san
Do you still get down at the Ashram? We were looking at a picture of you yesterday during our chants and noticed an unhealthy aura surounding you.
We were wondering about your being, since recent photos of you show you looking grayer and grayer.
All of this makes us wonder if you have the spleen needed to reach enlightenment. Karma can be such a dangerous thing and we're worried that you'll come back in your next life as some sort of being with a cloaca.
You know I have never forgiven you for yelling at me when we visited your redoubt off mountain home in Woodside following the hateful afternoon of the "Long Knives." All I wanted to do was kick start your lame ass BMW and take if for a spin down to Roberts to get a cup of brown organic rice and some carrots.
Peace,

P.S. Come down and visit and we can get small in "It's a Small World."

Hey Anonymous,

You sure post a lot, even compared to me, but this is your best post yet.

It's only a wild guess on my part, but our best bud Steve is probably stressing lot over whether it was the right move to jump to Intel.

Sure he got Paul in a bunny-suit up on stage with, and that's worth a lot of yucks, but humor can only carry you so far. Especially when the promise of "Intel is ready to deliver," meant Netburst[tm] P4's for the next year or better. Shoudda paid more attention to the fine print at the time, I guess.

And to think that there was another choice that could have delivered the very day he switched all along. Oh the sorrow of it all.

I think Sony's gift to Apple of melting batteries that produce mutagenic Lithium ion lava verges on haiku.
Also, i think Apple is out Microsofting Microsoft on OS upgrades. but Jobs-San needs the money to pay lawyers for his little option problem
See there is a god.
Peace out. Seriously

Forget high priced custom robots, Steve. Time to bring them to the everyday consumer. With your "eye" for design, you'll soon have a higher market share than the ipod does.. and even Bill Gates will be a customer (fighting AIDS was just his second choice cuz he can't get your women.) And Uncle Fester's Balmer-sized ego will force him to come up with his own product, that'll be so design backward that it'll turn out to be true that it really can make you go blind.

Meant to mention that it was your selection of Biker Girl and Veronica that had me thinking "mass market" now!

Hi Nice Blog .Ipod batteries share the characteristics common to Lithium-based technology found in other devices. Like other rechargeable batteries, these batteries may eventually require replacement.
