taipei city futuro house!
futuro
不過特別的地方是，這裡還有人居住！恰巧有遇到一家人來這裡，屋主說這裡在民國68年完工時，當時幾乎每一棟飛碟屋都有人居住，比較像社區（三芝偏向於渡假中心），當然還有個社區名字—「太空玲瓏屋」。
屋主很熱情的還讓我們參觀飛碟屋內部裝潢，裡頭有個小客廳、床、衛浴設備樣樣俱全。除了像飛碟的外觀之外，還有方形的建築，四面是大片落地窗，不過幾乎每 戶人家都會用布將窗戶擋住，所以也可以看到些有趣的花布圖案，滿有趣的！不過也因為裡頭還有人居住，所以去拍照時也就不要太打擾人家啦。

Chat bot Eugene Goostman passes Turing Test; xFactor chatbox

Chatbot Avatar "Eugene Goostman" Passes Turing Test
As you might have read over the weekend, the 65 year old Turing Test was just passed for the very first time -- but not as often reported,
via a "supercomputer", but a chatbot avatar personality named "Eugene
Goostman" -- more on him in this video from last year. I think it's fair
to call Eugene an avatar since he's designed with a very specific
personality (a smartass teen boy). You should typically be able to chat with Eugene at this link,
but the site seems to be down due to traffic. I wonder if his chatbot
technology can be introduced into virtual worlds. Blue Mars featured a chatbot which scored high on the Turing Test. Then there's chatbots like "Social Autopoiesis" in SL , which I once had a charming, foul-mouthed conversation with:
We totally passed the Turing Test for F Bombs. Update, 6:03pm: On the other hand, maybe Eugene never really passed the Turing Test and maybe it doesn't quite matter if he even did.I had conversations with a chat box in a Buddha several years ago, its humourous. And the chat box learns and gets more intelligent as more conversation is produced. The ai is now relocated here...

Nude descending a staircase - Duchamp's painting into 3d avatar
http://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2007/04/all_about_my_av_2.html
ALL ABOUT MY AVATAR: TASRILL SIEYES
Maria Rimbaud told me that Marcel Duchamp's "Nude Descending a Staircase" had taken on avatar form, and so naturally, I had to know more.
When I finally caught up with Tasrill Sieyes, the Resident who had made Duchamp's legendary painting come alive, I found out this abstract avatar was only the beginning-- or rather, the summation in a long career of abstract avatars as a medium of expression. And, of course, a furry with octopus arms.
After the break, my profile of Tasrill, avatar artist.
On what inspired the Duchamp avatar.
Well, I was showing someone my abstract
avatars that I have made, and they mentioned that making a 3D form of Duchamp’s
“Nude Descending a Staircase” would be great... [S]he loves the painting
and after seeing my other work she wanted to see what it would look like transformed
into SL form.
One thing led to another and she commissioned me to make this piece, and I
fell in love with making it. She let me retain the design, and even told me I
could sell it if I wanted, but I haven't done that… It was [my default avatar for] a few weeks. Then I made some new
ones that I wore and I wore some of my more "normal" avatars, too.
How does it feel to embody Duchamp's painting?
It is an interesting feeling. Kind of... freeing. I
am not
bound by the normal limits of anthropomorphic avatar. And I can think
far more artistically. I don't know [why], to be honest. I don't
think too much about how my various bits of art make me feel, I just let
them
make me feel, and let it wash over me.
By time spent, I have been abstract more then I have been
anything else. [M]y first one I made was just an experiment over a year ago.
Just to see what I could do with invisibility prims. But then I started talking
to people, and I loved the reactions I got. When I am abstract, I don't have to
worry about the preconceived notions of gender, race, or anything else but
someone’s view on abstract art. I can just be pure intellect.
Is there any one avatar that you feel most personally associated with?
[I]n general I am an avatar vagabond. Moving from one form to
another as my whims take me.
There is one that is the most me. I have had it for a year
now, and wear it when I am building things.
Tasrill rummages in his inventory, then transforms into his most natural state. Which, as happens, is this:
A spider furry?
Well, a fox with tentacles.
What's the point of that?
The point of tentacles?
On a fox, yeah.
Well, I like how the look and the things I can do with them.
The roleplaying limits of multiple limbs are boundless.
But why on a fox, as opposed to something that makes more
biological sense?
[I]t seemed right on this fox. It is a rather frightening
and kind of Goth fox, but I wanted something more. Something different. So I
grew these tentacles and have loved them ever sinse. It is not like tentacles make much sense on
anything but squid and octopuses, and well, getting those to work right on SL
is a non-starter. I have tried.
I've wondered about this with furries, a lot of them are not
just furries, but robot furries, or Star Trek furries, or something-something
furry, as if being a man-sized raccoon wasn't fantastic enough. Why is that, do
you think?
The biggest is that
there are only so many furry avatar vendors. Humans have more [avatar adjustment] sliders involving
their face then there are furry avi creators, much less the millions of
combinations that all those sliders can make.
[A]nother is that some people are so attached to their furry form that
it is them in all ways. And adding their other likes to it is just natural to
them, as a person adding [attachments] to their human avatar.
Abstact avatars as psychic expression.
I do have some avatars that have a deeper meaning to me.
Some emotion I was trying to capture, but with those, I try not and tell what
that emotion is. It either captures the emotion to other people without words, or
I didn't do a good enough job on it.We go outside, where and Tasrill becomes black, barbed, and spikey.
What emotion are you trying to express with this?
You know, I won't tell you that. I let the
piece stand on its own. Though I can tell you that this one is named Twisted.
Since I already give that much away at my little store/gallery.
How do you feel when you wear it?
Twisted, coiled, bound, confused, and other
emotions I can't quite name.
I think I have an avatar for most every big feeling I have
felt in the last year.
Tasrill, the person behind the abstract avatars.
Right now, I work at a pipe fabrication shop, but I am going
back to school to [study] architecture in the Fall. [O]ther then making my shop, I don't build buildings. I like making
sculptures and avatars here more.
Does your architectural skill influence your
avatar creation?
Yes, I think it does. Maybe the late nights
just fried my brain a bit, but it has taught me to be more creative and adventurous
in what I do. I just have to get some
emotion out of me, so I start building and then one of these comes out in the
end. I just pour my emotions into them and see what comes out.
Your begin creating avatars with no clear form in mind?
Yes, they are best called a stream of consciousness [work]. I just
start with making some prims and working it over in different shapes and
combinations to see what it looks like. Then one thing becomes two, and then I
start making objects and attaching them until I end up with something like
this.
Tasrill transforms into another avatar, all crests of chrome surfaces.
So you made this when you were in a happy mood, and in love like a girl in Spring?
[Laughs] No, very much a different
mood. But as to which mood I won't say.
I already seem to have given away my other one.
Deep thanks to Maria Rimbaud, who first told me about Tasrill Sieyes' avatar. See the entire "All About My Avatar" series here.
Is there another fascinating avatar out there I should know all about? E-mail me, or IM Hamlet Au, and tell me more.

xyzQin#1 Shan wood
xyzQin#2 Tong wood
Signing: Time, year, season and name of maker, name of qin, occasion, whatever the author wishes could be written inside the qin, once its closed, no one knows its there. The color of the words are Titanium white mixed with lacquer to have this slightly milky brown color.
The inside of the qin has been painted a coat of lacquer w turpentine mixture to protect the wood. 1 part lacquer + 2 parts turpentine.
Detail: use many metal clasp, presses, rubber ties, binding the assembly of wood pieces tightly to prevent air holes, buckling, gaps.
Squeeze tightly until you see lacquer oozing out from joints.
