Professor Conrad has just return from a refresher organ swap class at a hidden location somewhere in China. Stay tuned for new and innovative uses of the Marvic 5000 Artificial Multi-tasking Organ in conjunction with the Lab's new Scatscan 500.
Recent diggings into a Rogue Biomechanical lair, revealed some freakin' Frankenworms. These show proof that the Rogues are polishing their surgical techniques. we fear that they are about to create an invertebrate/humanoid combo.
The lab is back on the blog. Stay tuned for latest updates.
With the installation of a 500 gallon still, the lab is now in production of a new and refreshing alcholic beravage we have named DIOXAHOL. Under the guidance of Dr. Sterling, we have been able to blend the end product from the toxic waste processor with a fermented/distilled liquid produced in the new fermenter. The serviceable beverage is quite tangy with after taste similar to a new car smell and a vinyl shower curtain. We also hope capture the taste of plastic garden hose water. With those hot summer months garden parties soon approaching, DIOXAHOL will provide a great finishing touch.
The Screamin'Babyheads will appear live at Dorkbot SXSW on March 8th. See Dorkbot Austin web site for more details. The Band has been retrofitted into a triptych style folding case mounted on a customized wide track wheelchair. There are now over 16 members in the bio-mechanical band. A new musical/noise composition will be performed at that time.
With our success at ridding ourselves of rogue bio-mechanicals in, around and under the lab, our rendition facilities overseas is overmaxed. Fortunately one of our lab techs has figure a way to render them harmless and to put them on the market as BIO-MECHANICAL ACTION FIGURES. Expect to see them soon on our Etsy site.
Two more pieces complete last weeks flury of activity. The PLUCKER712 is an intimidating collection device and the FLIPPER5190 searches the tidal flats on the coast.
The Lab has been busy last week with three new prototype Bio-mechanicals. Pictured here is the ARCHIMEDES 12000. It is a high speed fastening device to be used by technicians on the go
The Screamers had on outstanding perfomance at Maker Faire. Selection from their latest CD, HEADS ABOVE GROUND were performed. CDs are available by contacting www.professorconrad@gmail.com. Also comments can be made at that address. Photos at the Faire were taken by Scott Beale/LaughingSquid.
Our stealth camera recently photographed the Rogue leader, Ellarr, return from a raid on our lab with an Intel chip stolen from one of our computers. Ellarr was last seen hiding under an amp at the Screamin' Babyhead performance at Maker Faire-Austin.
During a rehersal for the performance at MAKER FAIRE AUSTIN this month, we shot three more members of the band. They include the Percusionator, the Guitarnator and the Bambi, the lead singer.
With about three more weeks before the Screamin' Babyheads and the Instruments of Mass Distortion make their ressurrected appearance at Maker Faire, the lab is scrambling to recreate their sounds. We have a few audio clips recorded secretly down in their disco, but not complete pieces. The performance will be just the labs interpretation of their works. We do know one thing, they are fascinated with operas by Wagner.
OK, it was true. We have captured some RB-ms. Using our Grab and Snatch probe, we were able to extract the complete band that was playing in their disco deep underground. As best as we can translate, they call themselves the Screamin' Babyheads. We have been reassembling them because our Grab and Snatch malfunctioned as it brought them to the surface. They were brought up in pieces. Hopefully, the band will be back together for an appearance at Maker Faire in Austin this October. The group will be called Screamin' Babyheads and the Instruments of Mass Distortion. They don't sound very good to the human ear; just distorted noise and dissonant music.
There has been talk outside the lab that the security force at I.D. Labs have captured some Rogue Bio-mechanicals and are holding them in an undisclosed location. Well, we don't know anything about it. Probably not true. What we can tell you is that we have secured some videos taken by one of our probes planted in their disco.
Shortly after the large brain was photographed, the RBMs assembled the brain on top of a computer module; thus creating the dreaded Neural Brain! An assortment of ports and cables on the Neural Brain will allow any number of RBMs to download information. This apparatus will make it extremely difficult to control them,if they an be controlled.
The video probe deep in the mine stealthily photographed what appears to be a very large brain surrounded by RBM technicans. We fear that they are building a neural brain. If this is achieved, the Rogues will almost be impossible to control due to their added twisted intelligence once they are connected to the brain.
Upon descending deep into the recently discovered Lost and Found Mine, laboratory probes found evidence of new tunnel work. It appears that the Rogue Bio-mechanicals have been using the mine as their lair. Video and audio probes are exploring the new tunnels.
One of our investigators, after responding to an anonymous tip, took this picture of a RBM spy camera emerging from a drainage pipe within a major city in Texas. The device is utilizing a Haminix 28mm lens for its' optics. The RMBs have now spread over 50 miles from the lab. The Lab is attempting to lure them back with intoxicating music piped underground from the Tesla Memorial Theatre.
After more than two months underground with the new tunnel borer and Dr. Meta Stones' teleporter, we have returned to the surface.We are proud to announce a very successful surge into the lair of the Rogue Bioms. Successfully transported in miniaturized forms, 25 RBMs are being held in the lab's detention center. Their colony underground is extensive, rapidly spreading and must be dealt with soon because the Earth, as we know it, will be transformed in to a pock marked Swiss cheese textured lifeless planet. On a lighter note, the Tesla Memorial Music hall and Mini-lab will soon open. Also, the lab's Sculpture park is about to reopen with completion of repairs caused by the ice storm in February. Don't forget to mail you comments to www.professorconrad@gmail.com.
JUST IN!! Our latest probe through the RBMs secret village entrance has sent us a picture of their latest digs deep in the earth. The freezing weather has driven them much deeper than before. The audio portion confirms the earlier report that they are producing some unusual sounds which appear to have musical structure.
Sometime over the weekend, the small chapel built by some of our evangelical employees was destroyed by fire. We believe the fire was set by some RBMs. Some melted plastic wheels on a scorched circuit board found at the scene led us to believe that they were responsible. Evidentally, in the lab, a RBMs overheard one of our Evgl. employees call them satanic. Even with their primitive computer minds, the RBMs fear Satan.
Recently a deep audio probe was sent into the RBM's secret underground village (see Dec. 10 posting). Music was heard coming from an area beyond the probe's range. One of our associates, Dr. S said it sounded like a weird form of opera. We are preparing a new probe that will penetrate much deeper utilizing our recently developed "Super Lubricant". You can always contact us through www.professorconrad@gmail.com.
The morning after the big ice storm at the Lab, a rogue Biom was found near the Biom's secret underground entrance; froze like a slushy on the Simpson's.
,back at the lab, we have been dissecting various toys in order to figure out what the rogue Bioms are using to create their positronic brain. Their techniques are primitive but they are producing some crude but dangerous results. Comments please- www.professorconrad@gmail.com
Latest exploration of the hidden Biom underground village revealed a circuit board amongst a pile of books authored by Isaac Asimov. We fear that the Bioms are working on a Positronic brain. Worse yet, possible a Gravitronic brain! More soon. P.C.
Recently one of the Lab"s ground keepers discovered the entrance to a Biom underground village. A small sign with a barcode on it and a cable extending from the hole revealed the entrance. This now answers the question of where the Bioms went after the destruction of their above ground village.
We have successfully penetrated on underground Biom village with a digital camera integrated within a Biomechanical. This time we went digital instead of VHS. The detail is incredible and a bit frightening.
The Lab has successfully field tested it's new stealth listening device on a Biom village. Unfortunately what we heard was nothing but incomprehensible gibberish. The sounds may just be that of plastic gears grinding on each other and shorting out electrical circuits. Our field test of a stealth camera failed when the Bioms discovered it and pillaged parts. Next time we shall go digital to reduce the size.
Although the art may be real, the facts and subject matter are probably fictitious and most likely do not reflect the real world , but what is real anyway?
The lab at ID's original site has been closed and moved due to an unexpected rapage by rogue bio-mechanicals. It is now at a new state of the art facility with steadfast fail proof decontaminating controls and total escape proof cages. We will miss the old lab with its wondrous memories and tragic mishaps. Professor Conrad can now be contacted at professorconrad@gmail.com. He will appreciate your comments. Coming soon will be an article discussing the rogue bio-mechanicals and there rampage.
In anticipation of sea levels rising due to global warming, we at I.D. have created the BM-1256. This "Bio-mechanical" is made of heat resistant high temperature plastic. With it's 10' legs, traversing through the flooded shorelines will be no problem.
At the I.D's. laboratory' we were able to simulate what the world will look like in 37 years if we keep on denying the existence of global warming. Tragically, plants would have dried up ten years prior and soon after, our plastic substitutes begin to lose form and melt. Check back for more projections. -PC-
Strolling through the back lot of the I.D's shop, I discovered this object pulled off of some sort of implement. Instantly I saw it's potential. Thus, the MARVIC 5000 was created. It is an artificial multitasking organ which turns the human body into a closed system. "Once in, never out again".

Typically at the I.D. studios, we follow the motto, "function follows form", but this time form had to follow function with the construction of this Post Support Extender. The extender is no longer is use as we have modified and enlarged the whole structure. Coming soon- Our first bio-mechanical replacement organ!

I am in the middle of upgrading my storage barn into my studio and micro-gallery. The facade is called " Sewerguaro Toxic Waste Processing Facility". It is constructed from plastic sewer pipe and discarded tanks. I have not decided what to process yet. "Function follows form".
Welcome to the constantly updated site of new art work by sculptor/designer Marvin Niebuhr. Pictured are works from the on going series entitled " The Saga Of Marcos Caliente". Also check out my website, www.spiritcanyondesigns.com

Like Leonardo, I'll wait for technology to catch up and make my Chile take off.
I do not have a degree from Texas A&M Universty nor have I worked for the Bush 2004 Re-electin Campaign. see www.scientificactivist.blogspot.com -(Deutschgate in the media. 09 Feb. 2006). Professor Conrad
Wish I could say I made that but I found this in a razed lot where a cotton compress stood on Galveston Island. It is about 20 feet tall; has arms , legs and a face. What could it have done? Was it a benevolent machine or was it an early attempt to make a weapon of mass destruction?
Physicists say that past, now and future are happening at the same time. So through the manipulation of the eleven time space dimensions, I have been able to retrieve this fossil of a weedeater piston from a cliff side.

I received a pair of "Homies" for Christmas. Now there's more Intelligent?Designs. The Creator works in wonderful and mysterious ways. I love it when the Creator, "O' Oneness", works through me. You will see the many examples of " O' Oneness' " unlimited designs through my work. Also you will be subjected to my incites and interpretations of how this whole miss got started, if there is such thing as a starting point or Big Bang".
