Happy Birthday Dana! and Ellie (right?)!
It is amazing to see how big and healthy looking Noah and Grace are! They are adorable.
I spent last night throwing up, but I am at work today because it is crazy. If I barf, though, I am out of here! Weirdly, I haven't vomited since 1991, and it was so surprising to me to be sick so violently. Not fun
Happy birthday, Dana! Is shrift writing a porn for you?
Happy birthday, Ellie! You're a big girl now.
Happy birthday Dana and Ellie!
Ack, Sophia! I hope you feel better.
Not-working expands to fill the time available.
True fact.
Working at home today would have been the Best Idea Ever! Except I'm hoping to finish a big thing that I have to do from here.
Feel better, Sophia.
Weirdly, I haven't vomited since 1991
Now I'm earwormed with Prince...
Tonight I'm gonna vomit like it's 1991....
CB2 Child Robot is possibly the most disturbing machine ever built
Imagine if someone, somewhere managed to find the exact formula for producing the most perfectly awful example of the uncanny valley (say, for a horror movie or something). Now, accept the fact that this organization is the Japanese Science and Technology Agency, and that they managed to produce the most disturbing machine you've ever seen, without even realizing it. The 33 kilogram CB2 is literally beyond words in its freakiness, not only in its nailing of the uncanny valley, but in its description. Apparently it emulates "the physical ability of a 1- or 2-year-old toddler, can turn over and stand up with assistance," has 51 compressed air-powered actuators, and has 200 tactile sensors in its "skin." It sends so many shivers up our spine to think of the CB2's lifeless putty coating as "skin" that it's a wonder we're even able to continue typing. Seriously, just so that we can stop and move onto something else a little more human (heck, even a motherboard feels homely next to this), go check out the video after the break of the horrifying little thing writhing about on the floor.
The cuteness of beagles is too much. It should be illegal!
Yeah, but those pictures are the perfect antidote to the freakish robo-child in the previous post....
It's pretty awesome, if you're like me and like weird clocks and timepieces....
Thanks tommy and Jesse. I mostly feel exhausted, because I only slept between 3:30 and 5:30. I also never want to eat or drink anything ever again. Ever.
