Be the first on your block to rock the brand-spankin' new designs from House of Carl. Jeff has sketched up some pretty cool stuff, and we're doing what anyone with a minimal amount of creativity would do: we're puttin 'em on T-shirts, baby!
All proceeds from the shop go toward the purchase of beer and surfing lessons. And if you ne'erdowells have any designs or ideas for the future, send 'em in and we'll get them made. (Or more accurately, Spreadshirt* will.) There's lot's more to come. At least that's the fantasy in my head.
Current designs include:
YAAAR!
* We're not talkin' some weak-ass Café Press digital printing on crappy tees. Spreadshirt quality is excellent.
Stop what you are doing RIGHT NOW. Just go.
special shout out to mc mc and dave bettridge for this one...
Protest signs in binary, a little Kraftwerk and a ServerBot? Not bad. Who's up for a little Robot Throwdown...

Robots Getting Jiggy
Super cool footage of a Japanese robot dance number. They really have the weight shifting problem sewn up. This long-ish video starts slow but gains speed. The robots are about 4 feet high. I like the collar that is also a handle.
C3P0 can't be far off.
"Kick his robot ass!"
Thanks to Japanese know-how, Aemricans can indulge their two worst characteristics (violence and laziness) with robot fighting.
I only watched a few of these but this one features lots of macho robot flexing/posturing
I, Robutt
Lot's of robot-talk flyin' around lately, esp. with recent showings of the trailer for what is sure to be a Will Smith stink-fest, "I, Robot", coming out next summer.
Sony's working on the real thing over here. So far, it looks like they could fill a stadium with 'em and pull off the most organized wave ever.

Yep, can't get much better than that! Happy Monday everyone!
As Boing Boing suggests, just go straight for the good stuff...
About 750 people traveled to Las Vegas to attend the seventh annual National Abstinence Clearinghouse Conference, which runs through Sunday. Convention exhibitors displayed various abstinence items, including "Keep It" underwear depicting a large red stop sign with the message "No Trespassing."
In future wars, robots may drop from the sky by the hundreds from unmanned aircraft, swarming like giant insects over battlefields in coordinated, terrifying assaults.
Disappointed that there's no mention of Robot Frank and his Robot Army.
I wonder if someone can make a shark protector suit, so I can swim safely.
File this under "what to wear to the Gwar concert."
"To me, the answer seems simple: The predominately Christian nations have become more economically advanced, more globalized, which naturally leads to a more cosmopolitan outlook.
It's impossible to do business with people while slaughtering them, and it's pretty hard to do business with them while telling them that they'll burn in hell forever. Modern global capitalism has its faults, but religious intolerance isn't one of them.
The politically incorrect view of Islam seems to be gaining momentum. It would be naive to ignore in Islam a deep thread of intolerance toward unbelievers, especially if those unbelievers are believed to be a threat to the Islamic world.
There is obviously a sense in which the blame-Islam-first crowd is right, and Islam is part of the problem. The attitude of Islamic fundamentalistsÑan abhorrence of the non-Islamic worldÑconflicts with the logic of globalization, and something has to give. But if history is any guide, what will give in the end is reactionary religion, not technological progress. And the result will be, as it has been in the past, the evolution of a more humane, tolerant faith."

I have absolutely no interest in seeing the movie in English now. In other Robot Bastard! news, the full length movie is being screened for free in Milwaukee tomorrow night.
BTW - wasn't the site built with Flash the first time it was blogged?
Do your eyes glow red when you are about to disintegrate a petty human?
Hah!

"If the Little Rascals would make a movie today, I think they'd make something like Bastard," says Rob Schrab. "It's a film made by and for grown-up boys who never get laid."
