This video is strangely mesmerizing and terrifying at the same time. These robot arms make our human limbs seem so clumsy and inadequate… (via BotJunkie).

Introducing My Music
A long time ago, I had this showcase site that hosted my music. Then I started this blog, and got into the habit of posting my new songs and news about my music chronologically on sknoblog instead. But my music is all over the place. There’s mini Radio Vince at the top of every page,…
Teaser
One of the reasons I recently upgraded sknoblog to WordPress 2.3, is that I intend to introduce a rather major « new feature » of sorts… Well, I’m working hard on it, which (partially) explains the relative silence here these days. Hopefully, I’ll be introducing it next week, if time permits. Stay tuned…
The More Things Change…
A couple of months back, I updated the design of sknoblog to what you see now. Then a few weeks back, my site was suspended by my ISP when a major spam attack caused my comments database table to grow too big, too fast. The table was simply destroyed by the ISP. Part of the…
Looks and Smarts
I occasionally post (or rant) about my experiences with software or hardware. While there are many dedicated sites out there that do a commendable job of describing new features, I often discover things that I like or hate that were never mentioned anywhere. Which is why I thought I’d mention my recent upgrades to Mac…
frogblog on SuperFrenchie!
Pamela’s great post on McCain appeared as a guest post on SuperFrenchie today! The title should be enough to whet your apetite: Put your lips together – and blow it out your ass.
Awards
No, I don’t mean to talk to you about yet another strange musical endorsement (some geeks who used The Playground of the Baby Giants and Dinosaur as backdrops to software tutorials, and who massacred the songs through seemingly random editing). I’m talking about something else. I just got a special (and somewhat incestuous) You Make…
Ingenuity. No, Really!
I don’t play computer games. I don’t own a console. I don’t even play cards. So I don’t know what possessed me to watch this video, and then to keep watching it. But if you’re even a teeny tiny bit geeky (if you own a TV or, say, a watch), hang in there during the…
Surprise, Surprise
I was chatting with Harmsichord (who co-wrote the recent Remote Possibility tunes Coked Up in Kentucky and Vacancy) about his latest solo piece, Doby Coyote (warning: highly addictive bassline!), and the role of surprise in the context of enjoying music. Here’s what he wrote. Vincent, your blog entries about surprise reminded me of the book…
Charts
I apologize in advance for this self-congratulatory post. As you know by now, I’ve posted my songs on many sites, some of which offer statistics on the number of plays and/or downloads. On Dogmazic, a French free-music portal where I posted a few French songs, I reached a couple of symbolic milestones this week: over…
