LABORATORY

Isn't that a strange ominous word when you look at it closely?
Consonants and vowels alternating all the way through. RAT, an animal closely associated with that word. It is also good rhyme to Bathory, isn't it?

Just thought I'd share those thoughts while in my lab.

What does your lab look like?

Emma Watson much? :P

Your description had me going there for a moment. Now I've seen the picture I'm really disappointed.

Can't picture Vincent Price or Peter Cushing in that particular setting. :-P

Did I see that lab in Fallout NV?:)

I've never seen someone keep a hardware shelf that close to their computer, and yet it seems so obvious now. Why split up the mancave? I like the oscilloscope hanging out under your electrical engineering library.

Good eye.

None of my equipment is 21st century but it ain't from the 1950's either.

I've got my large screen TV and XBOX 360 on the other side of my computer desk. The proximity of everything is probably because I live alone in a 3 1/2 room apartment. On the opposite wall I've got a large closet,another desk and two book shelves, One is filled with computer science, math and physic books, the other with computer games disks I do not own online, and computer game manuals. I had to get rid of most computer games boxes several years ago because of lack of space. I hate myself for allowing this to happen but I did not really have any choice.

I've got more shelves in my bedroom containing hundreds of DVDs and Blue Rays movies and TV series. Some of my kitchen cupboards are full of other kind of books as well as old computer, electronic, history, games, and other type of magazines, along with some old softcore "porn" magazine I can't talk myself into getting rid of.

So at 52 I am approaching the ideal home I envisioned when I was 12. My current income is at an all time low because I had to quit working due to mental issues so that won't change anytime soon. My physical health is not bad for someone with my lifestyle (alcohol, no smoking and no exercise) so I expect to live for about 25 years more. Between now and then I want to develop the first self sustainable stage of real intelligently designed intelligence..

General anxiety is currently the only thins slowing me down, recapturing my 12 years old state of mind would increase my progress 10 to 400 times. If I stop being afraid then there will not be anything artificial about A.I.

Humans or "machines", may the most adaptive survive.

So, I take it you have an interest in electrical engineering. You a pure or modified sinewave man?

BTW, what's your HAM radio handle? XD

Sorry,didn't mean to make a joke that would be misunderstood.

I have an indoor garden in my room. No pix, OBVIOUSLY.
