My Robot Nation - TOBAR


Ok this really is what my site was made for. Let me tell you about My Robot Ration! So these guys in Washington got together and setup a 3D Printing shop for Robot Figures and let me tell you.... This is like Bill A Bear for Gown Men! All I did was go to the site and in a few clicks I had my own custom robot that I could order in any size I wanted. Now when I saw the online photos of the final result I wasn't too impressed but the quality is MUCH better than I expected. Even if you want to order one just go to the site and make it for free... it's a lot like playing with Legos.



And yes there will be many more to come from ME!

Generous Homeless Man





Ahahahah!!! This is Great, I love pranks like this! Makes these people feels like crap when they've just received a handful of cash from a bum.

Hug A Developer

This video is an oldie but I was reminded of it by another post from a friend. I think I most felt like these Devs when I worked at Microsoft. Take it from me, you don't want to work there.





I Feel The Pain!

Shit Samuel L. Jackson Says

There's been a cray stir of "Shit ______ Says" video going around and you mostly have to know someone like that in order to get the jokes but this one has made me laugh the most! I think anyone who owns a TV can relate LOL!!!



Michael Daisey & The Apple Factory


I'm a big fan of This American Life and if you haven't discovered this site yet you are missing out! It's really MUCH more interesting than anything I've ever watched on TV. I've been listening to Ira Glass for about 4 years now as he's been broadcasting a new topic every week.

I've been a little behind but on January 7th this episode aired and it touched me in a way I never expected. If you've been on the internet at all you must have heard all the news that went out about how the factory in Shen Zhen, China FOXCONN has very poor labor regulations and employees have been committing suicide. Well before you dismiss this episode and say you've heard it all just give it 2 mins of your time. The story is told by Michael Daisey who is known best for his monologues. He tells us his story about how his love of Apple products leads him to travel himself to Shen Zhen and see the birthplace of his coveted devices.

You must listen to believe it for yourself.





About 75% through I was on my bus ride to work this morning and it broke me down to tears. No radio show has ever done this to me.


Update: CNN Interviews a woman who works at Foxconn as she holds a fully assembled iPad for the first time.

Topicana Puts out Man Made Sun

Neat marketing campaign from Topicana lights up the night sky in London.



29 Year Old Hearing Her Own Voice for the First Time

I remember seeing this video last year some time but I came across it again and it's definitely blog worthy. You really don't anticipate the reaction but her genuine burst of emotions is heart warming. I love technology!



HoloDesk demo with a Kinect

It's interesting how the most impressive applications with Kinect I not made by the publisher. I bought a Kinect a while back and returned it after a few weeks of realizing the publisher content for it sucked. The only way to have fun with the device is to make your own experiments.



Two Dogs Dining

This is great!
It's really funny because as I'm watching it my mind is going in and out of disbelief. I can't help but laugh!
