KITEC Ever-2 Muse Robot

Advancements in humanoid robots, the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology has developed an entertainer robot. She stands near 5′3″ and weighs 132 lbs.

Shown is one of the better pics, in the others she is more noticeably inhuman due to her mannequin-like eyes and brows.

This is a source of endless fascination to me, how robotics (and computer animation) are always a bit off due to the soullessness of the eyes and the overly-smooth features, expressions and movements.

Blasphemelicious

“Hi my name is Lindy and I deny the existence of the Holy Spirit and you should too.”

Dig it!Is it really blasphemy if you do not share the beliefs as those you are blaspheming? Everyone has their own unique beliefs and they each think that they’re right. Don’t look so smug, you do too! ;)

Just the same, people are in a tizzy over short videos uploaded to YouTube as a part of the Blasphemy Challenge, where the first 1,001 people who load videos to this effect on YouTube get free copies of the DVD, The God Who Wasn’t There.

This is a damned good and highly informative movie and an excellent publicity stunt on their part, so well done! Unfortunately, those posting videos are probably more motivated by free stuff than anything thought-provoking. I do recommend renting the movie, and plan to eventually buy it.
