I ran into a description of harmonic drives earlier. I hadn’t seen anything quite like them before, and they are just so cool – flexible driven gear for high torque, high fraction engagement, and inherently loaded for zero-backlash. Even though there is a little marketing in it, this description is really better than wikipedia’s. I love it when neat things just appear in my field of awareness.

As an immigrat … I come from another culture. And I’m aware of the fact that people elsewhere in the world think differnetly from us. I can, sort of, see us, us Americans, with their eyes. And not all that I see is attractive. I see an insular people who are insensitive to foreign sensibilites, who are lazy, obese, complacent, and increasingly perplexed as to why we are losing our place in the world to people who are more dynamic than us and more disciplined.
