A few of you out there should really enjoy this latest exhibit. Finally a chance to take a break and not have to clean/organize/fix everything! (and don’t get me started on Modern Art…) ;)
Robosaurus
This 40 foot, 30 ton, fire breathing robot was created to WOW crowds at various shows in the US. It is pictured here at a Military / Civil air show… which got me thinking. Sure, this was built as a huge toy for the American people’s amusement BUT what about it’s potential militarily? OK, tanks and attack helicopters are highly effective combat vehicles, but the enemy has trained for such and will be dug in to resist them. Now imagine showing up with your tanks, helicopters, troops, and your 40 FOOT FIRE BREATHING DINOSAUR!! That thing starts ripping cars in half somewhere near the real fighting and that has GOT to increase the desertion rate of your opposing troops.

The Snooze Button
Dean Bladwin has been snaping digital pics of himself waking up for 3 years now. He rigged a digi cam up to his snooze button to “point out the subtle difference in the sameness of our daily routines; the tired eyes may look similiar, but the beard is scruffier and his sheets have been changed… part of a broader practice in which he obessively documents life’s habitually recurring and more mundane moments.”
The flash interface is pretty cool and the background tracks are worth the visit alone. From what I can gather it’s Circle Research playing Psy’d Tracked Feat. Psy of the Oddities and others…
