A few months ago I reported that this nifty robot kit was on the market, now you can see gobs of construction photos from the Watch Impress website.

Digital camera to USB HD mass storage
“The case can be directly connected to a digital camera, mp3 player or self-powered USB storage class device. When the case’s “COPY button” is pressed, data is copied directly to the HDD”
Oooo! I want! Should be coming out in ’05 for apx. 6000 Yen with no hard drive installed.

Engrish not my native language
Ok, to be honest I’m sure we do the same thing when we scribble down kanji that look nice and no one bothers to translate it. This is a fun read.

Odd PlayStation titles…
Ok, it’s obvious that the market for Playstation titles is dramaticly different in Japan than it is here in the US. I would like to point out the cool SteadyCam rig that is used for this, ah … game. It lets you do a ‘viewpoint movement’ tracking pan while your watching the video. Kind of cool,. I wonder how tough it would be to get one of these to play on a US PS2…
(BTW, I think Megumi is on ‘Hey! Spring of Trivia’)
