"Holodeck for House Crickets" is a suspended artificial landscape that is designed to house Acheta domesticus (house crickets), who are raised in climate-controlled tanks as food for reptiles. As actual nature would be a bit harsh for these domesticated crickets, artist Amy Youngs provided them with an artificial landscape where they can interact with a video "holograph" of the pastoral grasslands and woodlands experienced by their wild relatives. Through the use of a computer interface, the crickets are able to "interact" with their projected environment by chirping. Each chirp advances the panoramic, cricket-eye-view video footage of outdoor scenery. More information about this project can be found at http://www.ylem.org/artists/ayoungs/holodeck.html

what happens when the cricket holodeck becomes sentient and resurrects a sentinel?

We have Oliver North on retainer. He will make sure the coke supply remains steady. Then all we have to do is get the sentinel addicted, and engineer a situation where he is tempted to rip off his local dealer. The money from the coke sales will be folded back into the 2008 election campaign.

This room is so plain I can't stand it,
But I know a cheap way to un-bland it.
Let's apply Anaglypta
(With glue it's equipped); a
Fine molding now looks like I planned it.
