My Robot Says "Kill Kill"



Any band with Robot in the name is cool. Cooler still if they have a track called "Tetris"!.

Thanks to Tim for the link.

Robot Hand Towels


You know your Robot obsession is public knowledge when you're out at a client lunch, and one of your guests makes a point to send you a link about a new Indie shop (think Etsy) that is full of Robot love.

I don't know anything about Shanalogic.com apart from the fact that these Hand Towels will go great it our bathroom.

Robot Chalkboard Decals


I need a reason to buy something from Moo - and I finally think that I've found it. A work colleague passed on these awesome chalkboard designs. Who says Robots can't work in the kitchen?

Find out more from Moo.com.au

RobotVision


Thanks to TrendCentral for this tip off..... RobotVision!

Already, you thought the iPhone was a modern day wonder, but this application takes its powers a step beyond into Jetsons territory. This augmented reality app uses Bing Local Search, along with the accelerometer and compass technologies of the iPhone 3GS, to superimpose points of interest within a user's area onto their phone's video screen. Also, it can display geotagged Flickr photos in the vicinity. Taken to its Twitterverse extreme, Robotvision could transform the microblogging service into a matchmaking one, allowing users to find and engage nearby tweeters. Imagine getting your dumpling fix in Chinatown and suddenly being alerted to the fact that your crush is blocks away cruising the latest exhibit at the New Museum. Stalking suddenly takes on a whole new, and not so creepy, face.

Robots for Baby


I have a friend who is having a baby - and is planning to do the nursery Robot Themed. Needless to say I have nominated myself as the interior designer.

First thing on the list are bed sheets - the brief is for Robots - "but not the scary kind"

The Land of Nod has some gorgeous sheet sets.

And Target also has this cute set.

A is for Astro Boy


A is for Astroy Boy, the Robot of Japan.
Built with a heart by a clever science man.
With arm and leg rockets and lights for eyes
he could shoot lazers using his thighs.

Thank you to Hemmy.net for the image of Astro Boy created from Train Tickets

Blog Alert: Topless Robot!


Not so much about Robots - but more about "nerd news, humour and self loathing". In any case - I like anything with even the vaguest mention of Robots.

Their post about the 12 Most Awesomely Nerdy Breakfast Cereals is worth a read in any case!
