conferring

Monday, December 14th, 2009

was investigating international conference on pattern recognition next year, called icpr.
http://www.icpr2010.org/

blodgett observed that icpr is held in even numbered years only. but wait! what else does blodgett observe?
there nonetheless exist a mysterious icpr2009! further investigation warranted, and joyously rewarded!

icpr 2009 was EIGHTH international conference on pig reproduction! clearly much novel informations are being rapidly discovered. for those unable to make the glorious moot itself, proceedings available to purchase online:

friend nick did also observe the essential accompanying text ‘perfecting the pig environment’ (“for students and those professionals who choose to work at the sharp end of the pig industry”):

this did confuse blodgett a little, as there does not generally seem to be any sharp end to a pig.

alarming

alarming

hmm. why nobody reassure it?! blodgett feels one cannot get the staff these days.

blodgett likes this game very much. in particular, it likes the good noises, and approves of whoever wrote/translated the english dialogue:

blodgett feels friend nick in particular may also like robot:

robot no nap

robot no nap


robot intends bashing

robot intends bashing


robot fails! blodgett victorious

robot fails! blodgett victorious

.02% very important

blodgett appreciates its honesty, but marvels at its insanity. notes also from the small print that 1/3rd of its customers pay more…

blodgett learns a word

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

blodgett has a rug, and noticed yesterday that the label identified its constituents in many languages (see photo).

wolle

wolle

in particular, blodgett noticed that the german is ‘Baumwolle’. this was temporarily quite confusing, as blodgett had heretofore believed that the word Baum in german meant Sheep. (because, it looks a bit like fat sheeps.) blodgett was picturing this

cottonsheep

cottonsheep

but rug made of cotton wolle, not sheep wolle! so this was wrong. blodgett looks up the word Baum. Baum means Tree!
so blodgett sees now this

cottontree

cottontree

much better

washwash

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

when friend nick’s washwash was raining on the inside (http://www.doof.me.uk/2009/11/15/washing-machine-woes/), blodgett did draw an illustration. it was brought to blodgett’s attention recently that perhaps this should be more generally disseminated.

blodgett display it ici:

as we can see, the problem is caused by the cloud inside the machine. it may be solved by turning the dial to the ‘sun’ programme.
