We met on the web

My inner pre-teen likes this shirt.



And here's some hip hop style blog humor. Download the song. It's worth it.

Some stuff from Wired



Here's an article about three blind phone hackers from India. Okay, that sounds like a bad joke, but it's really what the article's about. Just go read it. Here's a quote to get you started:



He and his sightless brothers have devoted their lives to proving they can out-think, out-program, and out-hack anyone with vision.




And on an unrelated note, why does it seem like people in Europe are being so much more careful about genetically modified food? I'm glad I'm not an American farmer. (Well, I'm glad I'm not a farmer anywhere, to tell you the truth. I would kind of suck at farming.)
Aqua Robot



Awww... this aqua robot is cute. I like his little flippers. Also, the article uses the word "wonky," which is one of my favorites.



Since the robot's return to the test lab at McGill, Dudek said it's swimming legs have been a bit wonky.




Here are a bunch more photos of this underwater robot.



Maybe it would be fun if I did a series of robot drawings inspired by the news. I am too busy today, but I will think about it for the future.

Bat bot


That's a little bat bot I painted for my friend.



Someday, I hope I'm successful enough to hire someone to build me a Futuro house. But mine won't be made entirely of plastic. (Unless maybe it's recycled plastic.) Doesn't that thing look cool? And if I lived there I would dress all retro-futuristic like that lady in the red dress.



Here's a site called musicplasma that says it can help you find music you'll like. It's fun to play with, but I don't know what the information is based on. Maybe Amazon recommendations, since it seems to be associated with that site.



Flash in other languages can be strange and fun.

Robot mom

This little Flash thing is fun. But don't get confused. Mother's day is only March 30th if you live in the U.K.

Robot bookshelf!

While out in L.A., I painted some robots on my friend's bookshelf. [See them here!] (This was to replace a pitiful little collection of robot postcards that she had taped up.) If you check out those photos carefully, you can see that she got a robot Christmas card.

Airplanes rock

This week, I went from 13 degree weather in NYC to 70 degree weather in L.A. So that's why I haven't been writing much. I'm too busy playing outside.



I put up a few new robots here.
