Saturday Matinee – Aiki, Stripes, Two Weeny-Lookin’ Beards, Buddy & Buddy & Jimi

I’d never heard of AikiJujutsu before today. It’s awesome because it depends on the energy of the attacker, rather than the strength of the defender. A Veteran on one of the blogs I’ve been following recently (Blogmocracy, aka LGF2.0) said he likes it because it gives one the options of annoy, hurt, or harm, depending on the level of the attack. Hit the Gurgle/Utoobage buttons for more.


Speaking of the military, here’s Bill Murray at his peak. No way could anyone have pulled this off in real life, but it’s still classic.  (After this scene, the rest of the movie sucked donkeys.)

This is very cool… except for the weeny beards that kinda negate the coolness. [Found here.]

I was about to post a video of Electric Flag, but this is even better: Buddy Miles with Buddy Guy in the U.K in 1969.  Looks like they’re playing with Paul Butterfield’s band, prior to the blues revival in the U.S.

More Buddy Miles, this time with Jimi Hendrix, 1970. Beyond the valley of cool.  (We’ve got a great photo of Buddy Miles coming up tomorrow. Stay tuned.)

She really was a slacker. According to Han Solo, she had calluses on her scapulae. Watch where you point that thing, Princess.

Babe Magnet: Die KlinkerKar

Brick Babe Magnet_Daily Mixed 090520

Very little needs to be said about this brickbat mobile that isn’t intuitively obvious to the casual observer, except that the roof screams for asphalt shingles and vinyl gutters. Aluminum sliding windows would have been a nice touch.  No need for a carwash either, as a vinegar solution with a wire brush should keep the efflorescence in check for months. Pure efficient genius. We’ll even give him credit and kudos for the keystones.

Although he’ll never get a girlfriend built like a brick youknowwhat, at least Mr. Mason knows how to perpendicular park.

Three Nested Klein Bottles

Nested Klein Bottles_Science Museum

This is one of a series of glass Klein bottles made by Alan Bennett in Bedford, United Kingdom for the Science Museum, London. It consists of three Klein bottles, one inside another. A Klein bottle is a surface which has no edges, no outside or inside and cannot properly be constructed in three dimensions. In the series Alan Bennett made Klein bottles analogous to Mobius strips with odd numbers of twists greater than one.

I disagree that it “cannot properly be constructed in three dimensions” as it obviously has been.  Perhaps they meant defined…

[UPDATE: Here’s a visual summary of a single Klein Bottle, showing its relationship with a Mobius Strip (thanks to Strider).]
