Incredible robot developed by Boston Dynamics and funded by DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), designed to track down fugitives and kill them. Ok the last bit is my assumption.

Via ‘Don’t Panic’ who have more videos.

The Onion best sum up my thoughts on the death of Michael Jackson. I had almost forgotten that I was a huge Michael Jackson fan when I was young. I remember (in no particular chronological order) the huge deal about Thriller being on TV but not seeing it until much later, Michael Jackson cards from Topps, Billie Jean and footpaths that light up when you walk on them and I remember “Farewell My Summmer Love” which apparently was a hit in 1984 which would mean I was 8 years old.

Anyway, I stumbled across this illustration by Chris Judge for the Scamp Michael Jackson memorial post. I liked the fact he chose to illlustrate what for me is such a positive memory of the man.

Scenes from The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink and Footloose match up so perfectly with the Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix track…

Great music, great video. Must check out that band.

Eoin found this one. For some reason embedding has been disabled so you’ll have to go here to see Dirty Dancing as directed by David Lynch
