Food moving robots extravaganza!!

Many years ago when I was a student, I worked in a Pie Factory during the summer. One of the mind numbingly tedious tasks I had to do for 12 hours a day was taking pies off one conveyor belt, and putting them on to another, where some other poor bloke would pack them. At the time i remember thinking – “Surely there are robots who could do this kind of shit job?”

Well apparently, these days there are!!

First up, POPPADUMS!!!

(those badboys are fragile, so thats no mean feat!)

SAUSAGES!!

(two packs at a time – fair play!!)

CROISSANTS!!!

(thats a lot of croissants!!!)

PEPPERS!!!

(pretty clever, but to be fair, they look fucking gross!!)

PANCAKES

(they aren’t proper pancakes, you cretins!!)

Anyone found anymore?

Flight of the Conchords in Beatles Rockband!!!

andy — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 13:51:17 +0000

Flight Of The Conchords are set to appear in a forthcoming edition of the “Rock Band” computer game, the comedy duo have revealed.

“There’s going to be three songs on ‘Rock Band’,” he said. “I’m serious. You’ll be able to look like The Beatles and play one of our songs.” The pair did not reveal which of their songs would be chosen to appear in the game.

I assume they mean that some of their songs will be available on DLC, but its still pretty cool!!

Nice ‘Tache Bret!!

This is a work in progress tech demo from a sextet of CMU students that touches on some of the more superficial, but supercool, portions of running a D&D campaign on one of the world’s more expensive monitors.

This weeks tune is ‘Im looking through you’ by The Beatles, and what better way to create a bit of syncronicity than you show you the version from ‘Beatles Rockband’
