Heady days and headgear

Just spent a contented hour diving down a rabbit hole of my former life as a robotics researcher - all to find this photo.  I'll put it here for posterity as it has now been deleted from the icub summer school site (VVV-06 I think) (or it is behind a authorisation I no longer qualify for).


I used it as a funny image to introduce myself to my fellow summer-schoolers - but it endures for me.  It was originally taken in my sister Shema's garden at a party for one of here children when they were little enough to have piñata's - the remains of which adorns my head.

It was also the image I used to test my Homebrew computer's graphics ... (a venerable TMS9918A dealing with as many colours as it could) ...
