"Robots Rising" on PBS
For those of you interested in robots, and I think there's a few of you...Miles O' Brien (the ex-space correspondent for CNN) did a nice fun piece and posted it today.

There's no shortage of gag Big Dog videos made my two guys in black tights. At first I thought this was one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0s7aRUIoTw but it's real.
Shows Big Dog on the beach in Thailand, in the water. I cringe when I think of sand & seawater in a nice machine like that.
I cringe just the same when I watch this guy driving his $26K iBot wheelchair in the Florida surf: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oASAxTw-htM OK, a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but why not do that in a used $5000 electric wheelchair or ATV and pocket the $21,000 difference?
...good to see he's gettin' some time away from those icy boston winters!
