Just the misc. rantings of an american
On this page I will list links and banners for sites that have interested me over the years. I have been on the internet and perhaps was interested in some or none of these things over time. I will categorize and segment these links as I work on this site. Right now this is just a random page with no meaning or thought. Please don't think it is my beleifs or anyones. For now it is just some wierd thoughts and links.
Thanks for visiting!
One interest I have is my pets!
I have a Piranha and an Oscar which reside in the same tank.
I have a Zingu River Red Belly Piranha and a Tiger Oscar.
I have a Rottweiller that I have come to love only second to my love for my children who I wish to be rejoined with some day. He has proven many times over that he would die for me... that is a pretty freaky deep loyalty that you have to respect. Nobody or anything has cared for me like that to my knowledge in my entire life... I respect and love him in return.I have 2 cats which I have had since kittens, and I beleive if memory serves, they are about 5 years old and are brother and sister. Thier names are Q and Simon. I'll post pictures soon.
I am a futurist, by this I mean that I try very hard to stay current on what is about to happen to the world. I see many indications of what our future holds, and attempt to track its results. I have met, or even known, over time, people who claim to see the future in the form of encounters, etc., or have seen or experienced extremely unusual things. I know a pilot for United, and another for Southwest... who recognize it is taboo to report certain events, yet have related to me some things they have seen. I have a friend who is schizophrenic who claims I will live through the next world war or "great conflict" and come out a better man for it! Not to say I don't take all of these odd sightings or perceptions with a grain of salt, but cummalively they must mean something... I don't wish anyone to beleive me... I just enjoy that many things in the course of my life have come to me as what I beleive to be a portion of fact. It is fun to speculate. It is amazing to think about the possibilities...
Shortened version of the next 2 paragraphs, is gene manipulation, atomic/quantum drives for inter stellar travel, and the sad fact of religious wars. I've seen all of the proofs of the previous 3. I know we are pawns to major corporations, major experimentationm and grand schemes for profit that play on religious or nationalistic fears.

In this section I will illustrate quadrupedic animation links and information I have researched.
The reality of my research does not focus on animation,
It focuses on true mechanical reproduction.
This seems to include animation in that the logistical programming is similar but is not exclusive to it.

Passive knees!
TITAN 3 and 4
Quadrupedic wall crawlers!
