7th ROBO-ONE
Some very nice photos from the ROBO-ONE event in Japan. The walking robots are amazing, I can’t wait until someone builds one using R/C sailboat servos. That would give the little guy some pretty good power to do something like run an obstacle course.

More Portable Burners
This could be handy if you don’t want to lug a laptop around. A little bit more secure too, if your dumping your images off to an iPod or a laptop that would make a better teaget than some CDs in your luggage. Now you might have a problem going through customs in some countries with burned CDs. You might have to prove that its just holiday snaps and not the latest OS and Office suite from Microsoft that you bought in a mall shop for $5US.
DISPY 2 is an interesting solution to record (without using a PC) the contents of memory cards (CF type 1 and 2, SD, MMC, miniSD, smart memory, MemoryStick DUO and MemoryStick) onto a CD-R/RW…
USB Ghost Detector
Hummm… Ok, sure… I think it will do a better job of detecting if the desk fan is turned on rather than if there is a specter, spook, or a free form aperation in your room.
in addition to having a capacity of up to 512MB, features a magnetic field sensor, people-detecting sensors, and a biological clock. When the unit detects a ghost, a certain pattern will shine on the LED display.

Akira Scooter Mod
Mumm…. Now this would look fine parked in the driveway… 🙂 Not an exact replica but then again its over a scooter.
It’s a kit that will set you back about $6300US.

Land Walker – ????????
Oh man, this is just so super cool! It walk like an old man shuffling to the bathroom but it can turn and move backward. If the creator could move the legs faster, lift them up, and somehow balance the entire machine the thing would be even more cool. BTW, the gun fires big rubber balls. Ouch!
