Robot Police
Back in 1924, futurists had designs for a radio-controlled robot police force. It’s odd to me that police robots were never pursued in any large capacity. Seems like a perfect use for a robot.

Sweating Bullets
Bullets are mesmerizing. Especially in slow-mo. Found this on Kottke.org. 10 minutes of bullets shot at things and set to trance music. Captured at 1,000,000 frames per second. I bet you watch the whole thing.

05.05.09 | Permalink | 4 CommentsAuto-Tune is computer software that actually adjusts vocals on the fly to a predetermined pitch. As a muscian, I’m equally terrified and intrigued by Auto-Tune.
