and then KG said on FaceBorg:
I do wish that we quilters could educate the public the difference between a quilt and a blanket. A blanked is manufactured in a plant with little or no history as to its origin and can be sold to anyone willing to pay their price. A quilt is carefully planned out by some individual person, usually a woman, who spends hours choosing the fabric, pattern and means of quilting it. She puts her whole heart into it while it is in the making, hoping some loved one or friend can appreciate all of the work and time that has transpired and that she had enough love for them to bestow it in their care. Even my reptile quilt. It took a lot of hours and all hand pieced & quilted ( except the plastic mouse in the snakes tail ).

It all started when I found this artifact in my backyard. I guess that an alien spaceship had landed there and was doing some repairs. When they left, they forgot this wrench.

Alien Socket Wrench by gvan42

I showed it to my neighbors and they said that they had never seen anything like that before. They recommended that I take it to the poLICE, but I'm not THAT dumb...Soon I was visited by some men in grey suits and black shiny shoes and was kidnapped... Just coincidence? I don't think so!
The grey suited men took me to a small windowless room. They asked me if I wanted to help them fight the Aliens that had left the socket wrench in my backyard... One said "Have you actually seen what visited you?" and he turned on a television...
OH NO, I cried... These aliens are just too goofy to look at... I'm so glad that you grey suited representatives of an unnamed government agency spirited me away to this windowless room... I'll cooperate fully... Please, please, please DON'T make me look at those goofy Escherian aliens anymore... (editors note: at this point our hero starts behaving like a total weenie and not at all like a true gentleman... Therefore, the rest of this scene is deleted... That gives us time to RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!)

It was clearly time for me to get some PROFESSIONAL PSYCHIATRIC HELP... Well, I couldn't afford that so I chose to visit my ONLINE "SHRINK IN A BOX"... Those disturbing images of Aliens had put me in a classic state of Paranoid Schizo... It seemed that instead of me watching the Television, the Television was watching ME!...

Get Help Now!


or just continue with the story...
if(space==time){countDownToBlastOff--;}
Eventually, the grey suited men realized that I was just too "LAME" to be of any use to them and they left. I inspected the television set that they had shown me the disgusting pictures of the aliens... and I came to the shocking realization that it was radically different to anything I had ever seen before...

At that moment I realized they had spirited me away to A parallel universe. I remember reading about them in a classic Sci-Fi book called "The Coming Of The Quantum Cats" by Frederik Pohl.

I turned on channel six and saw the president on the news. He said "I get no satisfaction, that's why I sing the blues..." Then the picture panned to his wife, she turned to him and said... "Don't get crazy, you know just what to do... Crank that old Victrola, put on your rocking shoes!
UN HUH!" It's Saturday Night!"...

I changed the channel and saw that they were playing an old movie called "FUTUREWORLD" WITH PETER FONDA AND YUL BRENNER...

Yet, It seemed to be like totally different than I remembered... As a matter of fact, ALL the stations were weird... SEE FOR YOURSELF! Try them all, eventually they all lead to FUTUREWORLD2525! When you think about it, this is true in life also... No matter what path you select at the "fork in the road" you end up in the same place... FUTUREWORLD2525!

Everything Everywhere all at Once . GREAT MOVIE. Psychedelic Inter Dimensional Science Fiction. Watch Trailer Here.


A film from Daniels and starring Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, Stephanie Hsu, Jenny Slate, Harry Shum Jr., with James Hong and Jamie Lee Curtis. EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE – In Theaters March 25, 2022! #EverythingEverywhere

For the First time in a Decade I've Actually seen a Movie that was Nominated for an Oscar... The Last time I went to a Movie Theater was for Lord of the Rings... This Movie is on my TV... I guess we pay for a Service... I Just Spoke the words "Everything Everywhere" and It Played for Free... EXCELLENT!

‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ leads Oscar nominations with 11. 


The strange and sentimental film “Everything Everywhere All at Once” led among the films nominated for the 95th Academy Awards on Tuesday, scoring 11 nominations. “All Quiet on the Western Front” and “The Banshees of Inisherin” followed with nine nominations each.
Blockbusters “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Avatar: The Way of Water” each landed nominations for best film, and there is plenty of star power among the nominees. Both Rihanna and Lady Gaga were nominated in the original song category (for tunes from “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” and “Top Gun: Maverick,” respectively), as veterans in the industry were recognized as well.

Robot Music Singer: Pop Star is a Hologram... Hatsune Miku sings Crowd Sourced Lyrics. Like the book IDORU by William Gibson - CyberPunk

A Science Fiction Book becomes Reality. An IDORU (Computer Program Singer/Songwriter) written about by William Gibson is actually Created... and Goes on Tour with Lady GAGA...

Audiobook: Idoru by William Gibson... 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scHOIce9uVo

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatsune_Miku

https://www.wmagazine.com/story/hatsune-miku-crypton-future

Hatsune Miku is a virtual character created by Crypton Future Media. Originally, she was sold as the face of computer software that allowed users to generate their own music, with her as a vessel. Imagine GarageBand mixed with Sims performing your songs.
Since Miku's creation, over 170,000 sounds have been created for her, garnering a grand total of over 100 million hits on YouTube. This spring, she embarked on a ten-city tour with a live band to showcase the most shared singles — almost all the shows were sold out. Below, Miku's creator, Crypton Future Media CEO Hiroyuki Itoh, tells the story of her creation.

Synopsis of the Book Idoru...

21st century Tokyo, after the millennial quake. Neon rain. Light everywhere blowing under any door you might try to close. Where the New Buildings, the largest in the world, erect themselves unaided, their slow rippling movements like the contractions of a sea-creature...

Colin Laney is here looking for work. He is an intuitive fisher for patterns of information, the “signature” an individual creates simply by going about the business of living. But Laney knows how to sift for the dangerous bits. Which makes him useful—to certain people.

Chia McKenzie is here on a rescue mission. She’s fourteen. Her idol is the singer Rez, of the band Lo/Rez. When the Seattle chapter of the Lo/Rez fan club decided that he might be in trouble in Tokyo, they sent Chia to check it out.

Rei Toei is the idoru—the beautiful, entirely virtual media star adored by all Japan. Rez has declared that he will marry her. This is the rumor that has brought Chia to Tokyo. True or not, the idoru and the powerful interests surrounding her are enough to put all their lives in danger...




Great Movies: TRON and TRON Legacy. Science Fiction that takes us inside a computer to a Stunning Fantasy World. Computer Graphics Masterpiece...and... Great Biography: "For the Love of Spock." Movie about Leonard Nimoy. Interviews with everyone from Star Trek, His Family and Friends...and...The Movie "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" was filmed near Crescent City.

The Original TRON was filmed in 1982 when the first computer graphics were possible. Fantastic Special Effects and an Interesting PLOT! Partially filmed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory at the Shiva Nuclear Fusion experiment. The Computer That Sucks Jeff Bridges in is at the LAB... He is sitting at a Terminal and His Body Gets Scanned...

TRON Legacy visits the same world with 2010 Graphics...
The Son goes inside the machine to rescue his father... And Then "The Girl" (Olivia Wilde) asks a Cosmic Question... "What Does The Sun Look Like?" - Think about that for a Moment... YOU CAN'T LOOK AT THE SUN WITHOUT DAMAGING YOUR EYES... therefore you have NEVER  ACTUALLY SEEN THE SUN... Therefore No One Knows What The Sun LOOKS LIKE! Because the Words "LOOKS LIKE" refers to describing something you have seen... Wow, COSMIC

In "Jurrasic Park" , The Young Girl, Ariana Richards Says "This is a Unix system. I know this!" and Then the Movie Shows Screenshots THAT DO NOT LOOK LIKE The UNIX I Studied in College... Obviously a Graphic User Interface... BUT It REALLY WAS a Unix System... a Silicon Graphics workstation... 

and After Silicon Graphics fell on Hard Times they Sold their Office Building to Google... Right Next to the Shoreline Ampetheater in Mountain View, CA... 

Great Biography: "For the Love of Spock." Movie about Leonard Nimoy. Interviews with everyone from Star Trek, His Family and Friends.

Directed by his son Adam Nimoy. An intimate portrait of Father and Son... Made me think about my own Father...

A look behind the scenes at who was Leonard Nimoy and why Star Trek was important. Also a look into the vast quantity of other work he did... Broadway Musicals, Records, TV Shows, Movies, Photography and being a Father to his Son and Daughter.

A Biography Movie by his Daughter, Julie and her husband David Knight.

One thing about Star Trek was that Many Different Races worked together to build a better future... That's a worthy goal today...

Leonard Nimoy acted as an advocate and activist for COPD, frequently posting on social media to educate his followers about COPD and the dangers of smoking. Tobacco killed him in 2015.

I especially like visiting the Redwood Forests of Northern California. The Movie "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" was filmed near Crescent City.


The Ewok Villages and the Forest Moon of Endor. The flying motorcycle scenes were filmed by having the Stedicam Inventor, Garrett Brown walk thru the woods following the path they travel... and then Industrial Light and Magic bluescreened in the Actors and Flying Motorcycles...

On Highway 101 traveling North from Eureka, just past Trinidad, there is a rest stop with a paved footpath that looks just like the movie... A little imagination and you can hear the little teddy bear people singing and playing the drums...

Farmville Game - a relaxing way to wind down after work - similar to playing with a "Perky Pat Layout" from a Philip K Dick Science Fiction Story "Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch"

My Autobiography: Growing Up in Los Gatos, California in the 1960s by Gregory Vanderlaan - and Living in San Jose, Washington DC, Chico, Eureka and Orangevale, CA.

I Was Born in 1954. We lived Near the San Jose Airport until they Started Landing Jet Airplanes and We had to move... We went to Los Gatos in 1960. I lived there until graduation from Los Gatos High School in 1972... an Ideal Childhood... FYI: Los Gatos is about 50 miles South of San Francisco on the edge of the mountains between San Jose and Santa Cruz.

I Went to West Valley Jr. College, learned electronics drafting and got a job at System Industries in Santa Clara...
