Suffer Robot Suffer

Few days ago I posted a video of a robot that can recognize and fold laundry. Here's my take:

Tip to Sean for coming up with the idea while we were waiting for Clash o' the Teetains.

In. Through. And Beyond!

The other day I had to engage in a conversation with a woman on a professional level. No biggie.

Well, actually... biggie. She wasn't fat but she wasn't rail thin, either. Her size lent to the fact that her low cut, scoop neck top created the illusion of so much cleavage that I, for some reason, could not stop looking down there.

Superfun T-shirt Sell Time

Thanks to StevieB's constant berating to shill product for his friend, Crank on RedBubble.com (who by the way you should purchase one of everything he's made), I have decided to pop up some designs over there too. Expect the quality to rise as I figure out how to manipulate Bézier curves in Ai.

Here's my shop.

Giant Robot News

I'm busy at work today so here are a couple giant robot news articles from Gizmodo to tide you over:

Japan has a giant Gundam robot that does things.

Oh and a giant Gigantor robot too in a much more dramatic pose.

Korea is getting their own Voltar (Huh? Still looks cool anyway) in 2012

This just in... Canada still does not have any significant robots other than the Canadarm on the ISS.

Formative Pop – The Starlost

No! Not Lindsay Lohan's career!

This videosode of one of Canada's biggest TV scams is a bit dense, only because there is so much trivia I had to really hold back on a lot of it. If you want to learn more, why not visit your local library or pop in and see Wikipedia?
