Its that time again, I was puttering around on the MAKE blog today and noticed that the RoBoCup expo was going on. What is RoBoCup you ask?
There, that’s it in a nut shell. Yet another reason to go visit Japan. Osaka would be mighty fine this time of year… Popularity: 1% [?] Filed under: Japan andRobots Comments: None |

We built these in highschool electronics class, the fun wore thin after a while. Maybe it was the teacher threating us with harm if we didn’t turn it off ASAP. Who knew back then that it could have been a money making opportunity. Popularity: 1% [?] Filed under: Technology andTo be used for Evil Comments: None |

I enjoy taking stereo photographs from time to time but many people have a problem viewing them. People either can’t cross their eyes or they can’t do the ‘far look’ thing and fuse the images together. Viewers are great – but they don’t do all that well over the Internet and most people don’t have setups to view them on their computer screens anyway. Lower Manhattan has been Wiggled!

Things like this make my brain hurt. What kind of parent would take their children to a place like this?
Well at least they are in the right location. But this isn’t about the Chick Tracks, its about the ploy that the regious nuts are using to push their point. Lets look at something for a moment. A theory is defined as “a model or idea that has undergone testing or validation from careful observations and can be used to make a variety of predictions of what will happen under different circumstances”. Evolution meets that pretty well. This can be found in a display case next to a sandpit in the childrens ‘fossil dig’ area:
Your kidding right? This is wrong on sooo many levels. Here is the ‘parks’ web page if you want to see this for yourself. I can not in good conscience reccoment that you go there except to see what kind of dreck people are exposed to there. If you go remember to shut your mouth, nod your head a lot, and don’t even think of mentioning critical thinking! Popularity: 1% [?] Filed under: Dumb Comments: None |
