I went to the beach this summer, and in the back of a store there was an old bookcase with used books for sale. I found a 300 page paperback full of robot stories for 50 cents. In the introduction I read this….
Ironically, considering Asimov’s famous first law of Robotic’s. “A robot may not injure a human being or, [...]
Today while riding in my friend’s car, we were using his newly installed Garmin navigation system. Once the novelty wore off, I started commenting about how (if it was “my” navigation system – no I wasn’t jealous, I was just observing) I would pick a more robotic voice. Apparently, just I want a computer interface [...]
I run a hobby site called “MP3 Story Daily”. If you want to download an MP3 story each day, go over there and enter your email address. Today, I posted the audio for the movie ALIEN. I also posted some information on why I posted it.

I only have optimism for the future when it comes to alternative fuels. I believe that our current gas ‘crisis’ actually ignites the creative and entrepreneurial spirit. Some people complain that we are being gouged. I agree, but necessity is the mother of invention and it’s about time we started thinking of ways to depend [...]
Today I found a video of a real life robot that was made to promote the upcoming Pixar/Disney movie Wall-e. This is a nice way to turn a CGI product into a real life toy. Too bad they can’t re-create Buzz Lightyear or Woody using robotics. Sound effects are included in this short video clip. [...]

Checking my web stats, I did notice that there are a lot of visitors that land on the site searching for “robots”. Here is a home-grown music video (Sonny Dreams of Trance) that incorporates all the cool robotic parts of the movie “I-Robot”

09.27X Minus One (video)
Here is a nice fan-made CGI trailer for the series “X Minus One”. Since “X Minus One” was a radio show, there are no videos to display from the series. This is as close as you are going to get for the time being. I hope he continues to create these little trailers and eventually do a [...]
09.26Westworld 1973
I am about to show you two different versions of a trailer for the movie “Westworld”. First here is a little background about the movie.
The film is set sometime in the near future, in a fictional high-tech amusement park called Delos. The androids are indistinguishable from human beings, apart from minor flaws with their hands. [...]
