its an article in a general interest magazine that is fundamentally a

profile of an academic researcher. what would you expect? eagleman

publishes semi-regularly in scientific journals but at this point in

time, i haven't read any of his academic papers.
i cited it because you claimed to be sensitive to 1msec jitter. the

article mentioned that some very experienced drummers barely get down

to this level, especially for jitter. you basically claimed that your

sensitivity to jitter exceeds that of some like larry mullen jr., and

then went on to claim to claim that your timing when playing *guitar*

is as accurate as the drummers tested by eagleman & eno.
i hesitate to step right out and say bullshit (particularly given the

Eno/Mullen Jr. story mentioned in the article regarding the click

track), but i'm sort of close to it.

I was an attendee and participant at the 2nd artificial life

conference in Sante Fe in 1992. I considered that far more interesting

and promising than "artificial intelligence". Subsequently however i

got into audio & MIDI programming which is less interesting but more

fun.
