Robotic Crowdsourcing Experiment
I happened upon this page using stumbleupon. Its actually a pretty neat experiment in crowdsourcing. You can see the embedded video on page 2 of this article.
In New York City, we are very occupied with getting from one place to another. I wondered: could a human-like object traverse sidewalks and streets along with us, and in so doing, create a narrative about our relationship to space and our willingness to interact with what we find in it? More importantly, how could our actions be seen within a larger context of human connection that emerges from the complexity of the city itself? To answer these questions, I built robots.

Tesla Model S
I happened upon an article featuring the Tesla Model S. From the videos, it looks like a very impressive electric car. Its not scheduled for delivery until 2012, but these first glimpses are pretty telling.

Programmable Matter
Wow, it sounds like something out of Star Trek (see Hologram/Holodeck or maybe changeling might be more accurate), but Intel is claiming that “Programmable Matter” is 5 years away. Whats more, from the commets they are making, these aren’t Holograms, these are actual objects with shapeshifting abilities. See the next page for a video from CNN.
