Nice to read about the different backgrounds. I do artificial intelligence research for a little consulting/research company in the bay area.

(biz plug here)
One project we did is a tool to make it easier to put "smart" behaviors in computer games, like the opponents in the shoot-em-ups, or even like the ghosts in pacman. It was funded with gov't dough, so we're trying to find users or companies interested in using it (for free). Tiki-Bot or anyone else at a games co, let me know if you know someone who'd like to try it.

I'm also a college-radio kuk since high school (surf, twist, garage, trash, WWII music, and of course exotica), a duffer longboarder, and nuts about googie, MAD mag, Samurai Jack, kaiju, and some midcentury modern stuff.

Hoping to put together a website pictorial of googie bowling alleys, and also to gather data and artifacts on the San Mateo Lanai. Mike tikihula had some great stuff from there. If anyone has any stories or artifacts, I'd love to hear about it, and maybe assemble a webpage this fall.
