A decade or more ago, Hugo de Garis was promising a robot CAM-brain
puddytat. He lost several sponsors along the way. Anyone know if he's doing
anything along those lines today? (No, I've never heard of Google--how does
that work? His own site informs us excitedly of things due to happen in 2006
and 2007...)
