Is Spalding Gray Finally Swimming to
Cambodia?

Is Spalding Gray Finally Swimming to
Cambodia? 01/17/2004 10:47 PM
I'm in New York, where it was zero degrees last night with a wind that seemed to be hauling some large chunk of the Hudson River with it as it clawed its way down Grand Street. Somewhere out there in that grim dark is whatever remains of my old pal Spalding Gray. Both seriously and humorously, more often both, he's been threatening for years to do himself in. Indeed, his jokes about suicide preserved him and certainly entertained me. But now that it's starting to look like he's actually gone and done it, suicide is not so amusing. I try to imagine him actually attempting a swim to Cambodia. I see him swan-diving from the rail of the Staten Island Ferry late Saturday night when he disappeared, rounding Sandy Hook by dawn, and turning south for Cape Horn. He'd be well past the mouth of the Delaware by now, strong swimmer that he is. What a great monologue this is going to make. Or not. Spalding inhabits a magical reality where such feats might actually be possible, but there is something about the current state of New York Harbor that seems adamantly unfit for human survival. In my less magical reality, it's easier to see him beneath all that black water. Still, it seems premature to write one of those eulogies that I all too often compose for my closest friends. Part of me thinks I should be out there looking for him rather than writing this. Perhaps, I think, he just went out on one of his famous walks, walks that I shared for many droll miles. Perhaps he was hit by a cab and is lying comatose and unidentified in one of this perilous island's anonymous hospitals. He left his wallet and ID at his loft and would thus have been taken for another homeless drifter, as he frequently was. He could be holed up somewhere, waiting for his mood to pass. But he hates (or hated) to be alone. Neither seems likely, but where there's no proof, there remains hope, however unrealistic. What is grief without finality? A terrible confusion and an opportunity to celebrate what one might still have....

His name is Jean-Michel Cousteau! [dramatic chords] His father's name was Jack something, and like his father, Jean-Michel believes by working on things like Finding Nemo he, "can reach a far larger audience through entertainment in popular media than through innumerable press conferences, summits and reports. That is not to say that prestigious conferences and notable studies are irrelevant. They are critically necessary to validate the condition of the world’s oceans and bring opinion leaders together to share ideas and shape the collective political< /a> will." With this new sea-lebrity (haha! get it?), he hopes to help young people change the world. ...Well I just thought that was like totally rad and wanted to share with the virtual blue.

Non-reciprocal Swimming Nanobots

Non-reciprocal Swimming Nanobots 08/11/2004 08:38 PM
A brief MIT Technology news item mentions a solution to the problem of making nanoscale machines that can swim in a fluid. The problem is that at the scale of nanotechnology, the effects of turbulence in water disappear, and any type of swimming robot that relies on traditional reciprocal motion can't move. Iranian researchers Ali Najafi and Ramin Golestanian, have come up with a novel method of propeling nano-sized robots in a fluid. The tiny robots consist of three rigid spheres linked by rods. A non-reciprocal, four-step periodic motion of the spheres moves the nanobot through the fluid. A more detailed explanation of the process can be found in a recent Physical Review Focus article and an animation of the motion is also available. At present only simulations have been done but it should be possible to build practical, molecule-sized swimming robots using this technique within a decade.

Photographer and QTVR enthusiast Peter Murphy says:

I shot a few panoramas for my blog when I was in Cambodia last week. This shows the controversial wax works diorama at the Cambodian Cultural Village theme park in Siem Riep - where the UN period of Cambodian history is summarised in a scene of a UN soldier with a bar girl. Also there is this panorama I shot from a balloon 200m above the Angkor plain.

"Introducing Young Cambodian Artists to new artistic methodology and materials and training them in metalwork skills, producing, exhibiting and selling sculpture made from de-commissioned weapons & promoting a Weapon-Free Society and Young Cambodian Artists in Cambodia and internationally... These sculptures are political art at its most powerful - relics of a violent past transformed into expressions of hope for a more peaceful future."
