This is great. Chrysler made a spoof video a few years ago about the “Turbo Encabulator” that was a joke among electrical engineers. This old man spews out the technobabble just as good as Geordi LaForge from Star Trek: TNG

Holy Shit I Want A Roomba Now
I laughed at all those automated vacuums and mowers. Then I saw cats on a Roomba, but still didn’t have an urge to buy one. Then I saw this, and now I’m totally wanting one.

A-Pod: Ant Inspired Hexapod Bobot
This is just begging for a nice commercial jingle.
A-Pod is an ant inspired hexapod robot with a 2 DOF abdomen (tail), a 3 DOF head with large mandibles. 6 legs with 3 DOF each. Total 25 servos. This video demonstrates body movement and mandible control. I still have to do some mechanical improvements to the legs (therefore little walking). The robot are remotely controlled with a custom 2,4 GHz RC transmitter.
Radiohead’s New Video, Now With Frickin’ Lasers!
Radiohead seems to love technology as much as music. Cool. What’s even cooler is now you can go interact with a 3D version at Google!
In Radiohead’s new video for “House of Cards”, no cameras or lights were used. Instead, 3D plotting technologies collected information about the shapes and relative distances of objects. The video was created entirely with visualizations of that data.
