Out on a Limb


Nashville - Our foray into Music City had nothing to do with music. But had to provide touristy evidence that we were actually down south. Our friend and fellow indie filmmaker allowed us to tagged along her shoot about state-of-the-art prosthetic research. Yup, saw a fancy robotic arm and a leg that bionic woman would've wanted. The hand can crush a can or pop a light bulb by curling its fingers. So we didn't volunteer shaking hands with it. The leg featured the world's first power knee and ankle. I guess the next step would be to program Bruce Lee kicks into it. If you're really curious, go to Daria's site: Out on a Limb

valuables

what do you say when intruders invade your home, steal your resalable items and leave the rest in a hurricane whirl? we're ok - thankfully, we weren't there when it happened. I was the first one back to make the discovery. yet as soon as I let the word out, I was immediately comforted by concerned friends and family. the tally of the damage: our gear, used & new. the realization: we're very loved, priceless. 感謝!
