O robot fans the world over: in an effort to open myself up to as much drunken heckling by my friends as humanly possible, while also spreading the love for robots and, especially, RoboGames, I am giving a 50 (!) minute talk this Saturday, May 22nd, at Makerfaire!

The talk is “Build A Robot, Be A Rock Star: RoboGames” and it will be about various and sundry interesting tidbits about our seven years producing RoboGames.

So, grab a giant can of Tecate, camp out in the parking lot, and troop in to hear me talk a bunch about robots, games, and other things.

MakerFaire is this Saturday and Sunday May 22-23rd at the San MAeo Convention Center in lovely San Mateo, California. See everything cool you could possibly think up in the wildest realms of your imagination, all in one place, and learn how you can make each and every single thing yourself.

Whee! So much will be going on, you won’t even be able to absorb it all in one weekend. Yay!

I always cry at weddings, but this made me laugh. The full story of the i-Fairy wedding officiate in today’s news. Thanks, Neatorama!

Okay that headline was lame. But what is *not* lame is the fact that Bon Jovi is now touring with a bunch of auto assembly robots:

These robots, by ABB Robotics North America, are not cheaper than regular backup singers, but at least the robots won’t get dumped out of a cop car in front of the venue ten minutes before show time, smelling of carcinogens and twitching.
