What could be better than full contact robot soccer with cute spastic robots? When those same robots are dressed in really funky outfits and the whole deal is set to light hearted, completely irrelevant music. Gooooooooooooal!

A blast from the past (specifically 1979), Yellow Magic Orchestra’s video for its groovin’ track Technopolis is full of blinky lights, shots of Tokyo, and other abstract ’70s goodness! Goodness me it’s fun!

I visited a little taco shop today where you could try our all manner of strange varieties of hot sauces. The hottest I could find was one called “Temporary Insanity” - and I was curious how it rated on the Scoville scale, and if it was on the list of hottest sauces. Turns out it is the 40th hottest sauce on the market, at 57,000 Scoville units (compare to Tobasco at 2,500). Check out the complete top ranked sauces here

When I was in high school, still living with my parents, they gotta pretty pissed off at me when I painted a checkerboard grid in a corner of my room. Except the cool thing was that it only appeared as a square grid from one specific one of reference in the room. This page has a gallery of rooms (and outdoor sites) where this same principle of trompe-l’Å“il is applied. The indoor ones look to be real, but I’m a little sceptical of the outdoor versions. Whether real or not, it’s a head-trip!

I give mad props to whoever made these very cute robots from random junk. I would buy one for my pad.

No, this is not Apple’s Time Machine. The Time Fountain is much more fun - a super-nifty gadget someone made that uses strobing LEDs and a stream of nuclear-green water droplets to bring to time to a screeching, soggy halt. It can even reverse time.

Being a fan of Bender, the rude robot from Futurama, I was very impressed with this Bender Costume someone put together. Proportions look pretty close to cartoon Bender, and the attention to detail is quite sweet. Bite my shiny metal ass.
Here are some pictures of the Bender costume I made. I made the costume initially because I was inspired by the large scale costumes I saw in the 2003 Comic-con masquerade. I was able to finish it in time to give him a test run at the Las Vegas Comic-Con on Halloween weekend.

This is one of those stupid, but quite funny things. Two dudes having a serious argument about the finer points of Pokemon.

BÄSTIS Hook
I’ve been keeping my eye out for a coat rack / hook system for my apartment for some time now. The products I found were usually hideous, utterly boring, and never interesting. IKEA to the rescue. I found the BÄSTIS Hook on my way out of the megastore, in the pet section - presumably to be used for your dog’s leash or something. I thought they would be an excellent humorous answer to my coat hanging solution. They’re not made for anthing too heavy, so don’t hang a fully laden backpack on these. Great conversation starters the minute your guests enter your pad.

Mungo Enterprises has created the Infinite Horizon, which is a hardware ’synth’ that writes dance music. “The basic concept behind it is that most “classic” dance music is so formulaic it should be easy for a computer to generate.” Well, thats no surprise! Though I hope it doesn’t mean I’ll be out of a job soon, replaced by a robot DJ and robot producer! Though in fact, the box, while generating the chords and melodies, must still be ‘played’ by a human, who determines the greater flow of the piece. Check out the mp3 of the first live set performed with the box - quite interesting! Better than some of the crap I’ve heard people write!

The CandyAddict site has made its choices for the Top 10 Grossest Candies. Some are silly, like a nose you strap to your face that drips sweet, sticky snot which you lick as it dangles, and some are purely vile - like the vomit flavored jelly beans. I’m all for sweets - in fact I have a serious sweet tooth - but I’ll pass on all of these.

imomus has an article on Wired News called The Kinsey of Clicking. It is about how couples in our modern, wired world interact differently when at home together, both using computers, sitting close to each other, yet off in their own different meta-universes. So true how this can happen. But I don’t think it means these couples aren’t communicating, or interacting - it’s just a new model of being together.

Elke Munkert makes some really stylish contemporary jewelry out of unusual materials like tennis balls.

Seems like a lot of my sets are inspired by the time of day - Twilight is a building progressive breaks set that starts out real deep and gets into the late night groove further into the mix.
