Levitation

Some pretty cool pictures of critters in the zen mode–scientists in China are playing with levitation.  I haven’t figured out how to stick a picture in my blog, so you’ll have to follow the link.  Sorry.

Five Tough-Guy Robots

I really will put up a longer blog about robots and all things robotic, but in the meantime, here’s a list of Five Robots You Don’t Want To Mess With.  The Tetra Vaal Robot Video really weirds me out.  They think it’s a good idea to give a robot a gun and tell it to
