Required Blog Entery for Contemporary Design #6. Today's Topic: An End to These Absurdly Long Titles!!

I think this "painfully long blog title" joke has played itself out. In fact I'm starting to think that no one besides me thought it was funny anyway. Or maybe its just that no one reads this thing, except for Zara. Hi Zara!

Anywho, I'm starting to think that I use the word "anywho" too much. That and "whathaveyou." And apparently, at least according to Blogger's spell check, they aren't even real words.

In other news, here is some fun stuff I found just laying around the internet; barely even being used...

SO I STOLE IT! Fair and square.

Planter will find the sun for its plants

This chair-like robot consists of a planter with robotic legs and some circuitry to detect sunlight levels in the room. When the robot finds the brightest spot it scurries on its legs over in that direction in order to give the plant the most exposure. This reminds us a bit of the "Photosynthesis Robot" by FutureFarmers, although this one would probably be a more manic version of the project.
