Stasis Man

I miss my kids. I miss the one in Australia most, because she is so far away. I hope she is doing well.

I miss the other one less, because I see her every day, but I still miss her when she’s not around.

I love those guys.

I was at a party. A friend said, hey you got a haircut.

Yeah you like it, I said.

It looks good, she said. Half poet, half Nazi.

Okay, I said.

I love my friends too. Three people sent me links via various media to the badgermin when I asked for theremin design suggestions.

I was going on about a middle rail in the freeway lanes for electric cars to Gamma again today. It would eliminate the need for big batteries, I said, which is the only way electric cars will ever be affordable. She said I should tell someone, so I’m telling you.

I was thinking about Teh BUg. I liked that comic, but I don’t feel buglike anymore.

I dunno.

Maybe I should do a different comic strip. Stasis Man! A superhero who thinks he’s glued to the wall.

My cello teacher sorta scolded me about not knowing the circle of fifths yet, so I’m reading up on that.

Reading up. It’s like, half a page. Depending on the size of the picture of the circle of fifths.

Stasis Man!

Brainstorm: Names for electric cars

TimeĀ  to copyright a few good names for electric cars before they are all taken. Just saw Ampera on a new car. Chevy has the Volt. There is the Tesla – who wouldn’t want to drive an electric car named after a genuine mad scientist?

Beta and I were brainstorming on the way into town yesterday.

My favorite is the Short, which Fiat should produce.

Or the Ohmster. The Chevy Static. The Charger would have been good, but Dodge used that a long time ago. Ion, is that taken?

How about the Faraday Cage?

Flux?

Farad would be good for an electric bicycle, because the German word for bicycle is Fahrrad and people would think it was a typo.

Or you could name them after scientists or inventors associated with electricity, like the Tesla. The Ford Edison?
