Come with me if you want to live!


Thats right, robots. and not only are they humanoid robots, but they're humanoid robots that serve as clothing models. I'm shocked, maybe a little dismayed. All that funding and research is going to create robot models. this robot is really pushing the uncanny valley too, it looks like something straight out of Jim Henson's workshop. As a side note, does anyone else notice that those two robots in the background look like gundams? the story doesn't really mention what their purpose is, and I doubt it's to model the year's latest mecha weaponry. Weird. You can read the story here.

Nintendo's Entry in the great Bong Race


Alright, Alright, lets not get carried away now. I realize I just posted on the awesomeness of a bong made out of a 360, but Gizmodo just made a post of another gaming bong, this time made out of a classic NES Zapper. If there were a community out there dedicated to making bongs out of random crap, well, that would be 6 secret spices of awesome. I guess I'll keep posting on these things. They make me happy.

But, but... it was an Xbox....


Its really kind of astonishing the lengths that some people will go to to make bongs out of ordinary objects. the thing pictured above? the cheapest it could have been was $200, and I hope that it was broken before hand. On the other side it's really rather inventive, and maybe a little cool. If you're in to that thing. The full story on the Xbox bong can be found here from Gizmodo. hehehe, I approve lol.
