A FUNNY IDEA!


A funny and creative idea of the scientist Neil Gershenfeld. He made this card in 1995 to send to friends at New Years time. You can see another cards here.

Neil Gershenfeld is a professor at MIT and the head of MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms, a sister lab spun out of the popular MIT Media Lab. His research interests are mainly in interdisciplinary studies involving physics and computer science, in such fields as quantum computing, nanotechnology, personal fabrication, and other research areas.

  1. Sonia, thanks for the giggle at my desk this morning. Funny! It was nice to see their twins grow throughout the years. What a great idea for greeting cards - a nice timeline of memories.

    The cat heads are hysterical!

  6. This is indeed a very funny card and cats really do own us. Cats are the masters and train us to feed them on demand, massage them when they are ready to be massaged.
    The scientist Neil really knows his cats well.

  16. Que legal, Sonia!
    Embora já seja tarde, vim deixar meu abraço pelo nosso dia. Sobre a questão dos e-mails, alguma configuração no meu micro, que deve ter sido alterada na calada da noite (haha), está impedindo que meus e-mails sejam entregues ao UOL. Coisas de informática... Ainda não resolvi o problema, mas pelo menos ele foi identificado.
    Beijos.
