Rise of the robots

  • Modular robot reassembles when it’s kicked apart: everywhere on the internet today. Skynet rises. Seriously though, how long until these modules are itsy-bitsy? See also the NeoCube.
  • New BMW M1: sexxxxxxy. The body looks like two layers, as if the black underneath is cracking through, trying to escape. And check the I Ching rims! In other car news, the 2009 Prius will be bigger inside, longer, 100hp engine, 50-55 miles per gallon. My car, with a 275hp 4.2l V8, gets 15-17mpg.
  • MSNBC: Smiley-Face Killer. Sounds like a direct-to-video thriller, but real.
  • Movies: I saw Teeth yesterday and liked it enough to recommend. Just campy enough. Jess Weixler was brave to take the role and gave a great performance, I thought. Directed by Mitchell Lichtenstein, son of Roy.
  • If you’ve ever wanted to play a Wu-Tang Clan rougelike, your time has come.
  • Song of the day: HNIC 2 FINALLY dropped, so here’s Prodigy Raining Guns and Shanks from the mixtape. Looking forward to that new Mobb Deep record in 2011, keep your head up P!

    That robot is pretty sweet sounds simple to make, reminds me of when I used to build at nasa. That M1 is nice im still interested in getting a LP640!

    You were at NASA?

    I see Murcielagos all over the place in LA; they’re beautiful in black or white. Are you going to race it? Have you considered an Aston DB9?

    Yeah at AMES Research Center. I like them in black or that smoke grey I bet white looks nice too, I never got into racing much which is funny being from the bay area. The DB9 is kool I’m just totally in love with the Lambo!
