Isn’t that a quaint idea? Practically, of course, Agricorps are not gonna let that happen. Grow our fleshy consumption, instead of having to deal with all the messy skinning and punching of holes in bovine heads with pneumatic jackhammers… honestly. i’d like to get rid of my meaty meats craving. but alas tis’ summer. Soju and the grill calls… oh how my arteries harden…
i still love this picture…how appropriate… pizzicato 5’s Sukiyaki just started playing…
holy crap that has to be the spazziest automaton i’ve ever seen… the lil dynamo jumps around then POSES savagely as only a japanese robot can do. put me down for 2 please. btw who loves that schnazzy 90’s jungle-ey synth it poses to!? /raises hand (can we call that robo pron?)
What could possibly be better than that, you ask? Well, maybe nothing, but if anyone is tinkering with the idea, I’m guessing it’d be the pioneers of the fledgling discipline, hedonomics. Hedonomicists aim to go beyond the goals of ergonomics for creating safe and functional interfaces, and strive to create ones that are actually pleasurable to the user. Here’s a blog linked to some other interesting articles on the subject.
Cool idea, but if my tech interfaces had designs that actually reinforced their own use, would it be liberation from a fate of carpal tunnel and snarky afternoon comments, or some new form of masturbatory office crack? Would I be distracted from the normal pleasure I otherwise would have gotten from that night of morbidly deranged curiosity in Reno? The questions ensue . . . *cue Twilight Zone theme*
This shoulda been a transformer- or at the very least, a gobot. its a Guinea-ROBO-pig b!tches! it does wonderously guinea pig-esque things like. sit. and be fuzzy. and sit. and walk. oh but wait! it reacts to stuff like loud noises and affection (guinea pig make out sessions?) and you totally can NOT immerse it in water and marvel at its fuzzy hot dog like dimensions. (try it with real ones! they look like mini demoralized dachunds.)
-AH, this reminds me of the time a roomate had a chinchilla we (the other roomies) so affectionately named “Fecal tornado.” He had attained this lil rodent for the woman impression factor but neglected the F*k outa it most of the time. The dearth of human contact induced the lil fuzzy bastard to bolt about the cage at such high velocities that the (mostly uncleaned) cage would have a satellite ring of flung doodie encircling it… One day a friend (innocently may i add) brought over a guinea pig and they decided it would be nice for them to “play.” Now for those who think Chinchillas are just fuzzy lil funbags, you all are completely unawares of the fact that they’re territorial vicious lil twats. apparently species-ist too- for when the lil friend from guinea dropped by in the cage, the chinchilla emited a blood curdling warwhoop then proceeded to pummel said pig with high powered chinchilla Karate kicks (no sh!t)… The guinea pig then started wailing like i’ve never heard lil rodents wail- much akin to a collicky baby. disturbing to say the least.
A military mule bot. its supposed to carry upto 120 lbs. but who cares… YOU CAN KICK IT! it looks so dainty as it prances about on all fours, even at a stand still. It’s no Qrio but all would be forgiven if you could just ride atop of this thing…. oh did i mention you could KICK IT ? wanna read more on it. HERE
Yes. With your brain. that is if you have any gray matter to speak of. you intolerable boors! alright, I jest. but really, this would be awesome. But i imagine in future advanced versions the backspace/delete key would be on overdrive. like what if you end up watchin Jessica Alba on tv while you don that thing. Wouldnt it randomly spit out “bewbs! butts! hot! ahhhhhg! albalala!”… oh and what of meme’s or like if i typed “Oh my F*king GOD!” would it just type “OMFG!” on the screen or ^_^v would be “happy asian thingface teeheeheeheeheee peaceoutside!”… the future scares me. /excited.
LONG but i should add EFFIN AMAZING video about the long awaited SPORE. a new game by the geniuses at MAXIS (sim city anyone?). this may be a paradigm shift folks. lets just hope its not fking vaporware
all i gotta say is procedural animation is gonna pwn us all. (esp those in the ‘industry’) my masters may be for naught! /sob
An interesting option for the folks gravitating towards a Prius but not content with a mere 110-ish top speed: the Eliica! Like the Prius, it’s powered by enviro-friendly lithium-ion hybridiness. Unlike the the Prius, it can hit what is probably a time travel-ready top speed of 230 mph. It also has twice the amount of wheels as a normal car, but at $260,000, you probably really shouldn’t settle for any less than 7 wheels anyway.
And for the true enviornmentalist, there is the completely recyclable papercraft Eliica! (note: does not clock in at same top speeds as the real one)
I wanna be a super hero right. so do you. so you can be my sidekick. like Kato right? yeah. So we need this place to store all our awesome schwag n’ crazy alter-ego-wear. i know. under my toy collection… wait no. under your ficus. but who do we call to get them elevators n’ new-matic doors…
SHAZZAM!
