Murasaki-bot - The Storytelling Robot
Tucked inside this little robot is an MP3 player with which is the core of its storytelling sensation. The Murasaki-bot was designed by the kids at the Kyoto University’s Robo-Garage and ‘will read you Murasaki Shikibu’s classic and oft-considered oldest novel in existence, The Tale of Genji.’ It was also designed to make subtle movements along with the storytelling like the noblewoman Murasaki would have made well conveying the tale.
There is nothing quite like the future being upon us as robots creeping their way into every notch of life.

I’ve got News for George Carlin
George Carlin kicks the bucket at 71. He pushed the envelope in ways that other comedians were too afraid to. Lets have a moment to regard this situation in the only way to give good memory.
Write Here, Right Now
A very impressive mix of typography body painting and video display. Its described as “part of a campaign to promote writing on designated graffiti walls rather than someone elses property.”

I love Japan for many reasons. One is portrayed in how creatively strange their music videos can be. What. The. Hell?!

Net Neutrality to End by 2012
It’s not surprising that big companies hate Net Neutrality. Its the cornerstone concept of the internet model! Around here we try and track the issue as we do anything else. Most of the time we catch the big stories, but love it when something smaller shows itself. Well this is a big deal, but little is known about it. Its time to spread the word.
“I’ve worked in industry for many years, and I have no doubt that these kinds of plans are being made. But it will only happen if we let it. If you are a reporter, or know a reporter, there’s a huge story here.
Also, I urge everyone to join the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and donate to the cause of net neutrality. They’ve been fighting the good fight against usurpation of the internet by monied interests since dinosaurs roamed the Earth (or thereabouts…). And while you’re at it, buy Cory Doctorow’s bestseller, LITTLE BROTHER, a can’t-put-it-down thrill ride that deals with these kinds of issues.
I have said before, and I truly believe, that equal access to the internet is not just a First Amendment issue, but also a Second Amendment issue. The founders intended to create a power balance between and among the different actors in our democracy. The power people hold over our government is not through handguns and assault rifles; it is through our ability to share information and join forces to hold the powerful accountable to us.”

An Ancient Sport with Only One Rule: No Murder
Sports for real men involve a certain level of violence. Today another sport joins Hockey and Rugby as a sport for real men. In the English town of Ashbourne the people divide themselves into two teams for 2 days out of the year. The point is simple. Score the “toughest goal” by getting a ball across a river and three miles away with only one rule: No Murder.
Cell Phones Used to Pop Popcorn
