iRobot, the makers of the Roomba, have released footage of their bizarre new robot prototype, Chembot. It’s a is a small mobile device being developed for DARPA and the United States Army which looks like a gelatinous blob, and can change shape to navigate through tight spaces.

Begin And End With Andy Rooney

I have always enjoyed Andy Rooney, but he is even better after a little editing. Someone took the time to edit quite a few of his commentaries by splicing together the first and last sentences and leaving the rest on the cutting room floor. There are quite a few available, but my personal favorite (of the ones I have seen) can be found below. Click the image above to see the collection.
