  1. …a great line from the Best Movie Ever.

  2. I caught a bit of the original version (with voiceover) on AMC this weekend. Good stuff.

  3. yes benjiman – did you see the directors cut? It was my last film seen in Palo Alto’s glorious Varsity Theatre, now – gasp – a Borders Bookstore. Like taking out a healthy hearth and putting in a jarvic.

    "These memories, all lost, like tears in the rain…"

    Nice pic of you Steve – that’s NOT a flourescent light tan though…

  4. Yey! Do tell, V: does our friend look in person as nice, or is he just photogenic?

    How would it be to see the turtle on its correct position, and him upside down? Poor critter, its head will explode, turn it!

  5. Nice*******************************************
    Smile :))

  6. "My mother? I’ll tell you about my mother…"

  7. Have you ever taken one of those tests yourself Mr. spyzter?

    Yes Gi, he looks just as nice in 3D-motion-space.

  8. Fascinating! I love working with and designing robots – just wish I had more time for it. Are you familiar with B.E.A.M. robotics?

    This photo would make a great contribution to the Physics Group. Please come and join us, and post your robot photos. Thanks!

  9. With all due respect Steve you look so photogenic in this shot it’s almost creepy – kind of cyborgish. I’d vote Blade Runner best movie ever too. Remake w/Steve?

  10. No remake ever, I wish.
