Saint Of The Month Club

The < R O B O T S >

"Robot, which is derived from a Czech word meaning "menial labor," got its modern meaning from a 1920 play, R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), by Czech playwright Karel Capek (1890-1938). The robots in Capek's play develop emotions and overthrow their human masters. A sinister "power struggle" with robots has long been a popular theme in science fiction." The above is an excerpt from an excellent site by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence with more Robot links that you click on with your infrared mechanical claw.

All us Ninjas at the Saint of the Month Club wish a very happy holiday to everyone out there in cyberspace.

Saint X (again)

A friend of mine was talking about taking a series of photographs at an event - but there was this reason, that, and another why he wasn't sure if he was actually going to do it. Par for the course, really, getting over the various humps to get it together to make a piece of art. Everything from the initial insecurity to the sad depressing thought that you might end up embarrassing yourself. This April, the Saint of the Month Club presents Saint X with a few scientific facts on the artistic process. Thanks to Chuck Pearly of the late, great and sadly lamented Le Pescadou, for the voice over.

Saint X (Redux)

Saint X makes a return engagement with a few words of wisdom for the aging hipsters who are hitting the half century mark.

Saint X

2001 was not the greatest of years. Even for New Yorkers who did not lose loved ones at the WTC, there seemed to be an awful lot of ongoing financial, personal and health disasters. So this is Saint X's message about holding on to what really counts. Thanks to Anastasia Vasilakis for taking the photo.
