LittleDog Robot at USC

You know what strikes me as the most creepy part of this video? It’s the last scene where the robot is walking directly towards the camera. It looks like a Cylon on frog legs. And the kicker is this line from the voice over guy. “…it allows for safe human interaction with possibly dangerous robots…”.

Well that’s good, but for how long?

Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome

If you were left wanting a little more Galactica in your life, maybe you should check this out. This is the web series that was born out of the pilot that was shot for the Syfy channel that they ultimately passed on. Instead of a TV series, they opted for a 10 episode web series and here it is.

I just watched Episode 1 & 2 (with #3 coming  on 11/16) and I like what I see. The acting is good, and the effects are top notch especially for a web series. Also I must add that being a space ship nerd, seeing some space action with the vipers and old school Cylon ships was great.

Interview: Ernest Cline

ERNEST CLINE has worked as a short-order cook, fish gutter, plasma donor, elitist video store clerk, and tech support drone. His primary occupation, however, has always been geeking out, and he eventually threw aside those other promising career paths to express his love of pop culture fulltime as a spoken word artist and screenwriter.
