Robots are awesome
04.29.2008
I’m working on more reporting but I stopped long enough to look at this video. Robotics fascinates me. I don’t have an aptitude for it. maybe for the programming but not the building. I’m no good with chips and wires. I love all the work that is going on in robotics though. There are some very creative people in that field doing some amazing work. This particular video is of a modular, self assembling robot. A robot that can put itself back together! I prefer to think of it as “Iron Giant” and less like “Terminator”.



I was wondering why you were talking about robots and had a picture of blocks.
Now that I have actually watched the video I am totally creeped out.
If we included interest it would definitely get messy.
Great, somebody invented replicators. We’re screwed.
Looks like square rabbit pellets.
Yeah, a still picture doesn’t really do it justice. My favorite thing is that it has a little red blinking light just like on “Iron Giant”
I saw this comic strip and had to share. To anyone who complains about the way the sibs and I handle our debts, as you can see, we’re not the only ones

Yeah, I’m a little torn by the whole video. The programmer in me goes “Wow, that is freaking badass!” while the sci-fi nerd in me says “Uh oh. We’ve read about this in many books and we know what happens next…”
That is awesome. I think they may be following us oo.
Yeah and then who would pay for the accountant would it come from the mom/grandma flower fund the electronics for the old people fund of the misc eatery/drink fund?
Yeah, adding interest would be too expensive since we’d then also have to hire an accountant to keep track of it all.
