Of robots, earth from space and bullfrogs : Compute Scotland

Gaberlunzie has always had an enormous fondness for robots from the earliest Ridiculous ElectronicDevice which he was warned never to stand near unless he had personally programmed.

Anyone who finds robots intriguing and who has not noticed how the nano principle for efficiency is being applied to devices, should go read the Defense Industry Daily's take on the fighting robot, not least for its illustrations.

There's the iRobot Packbot, Talon (top right) the Packbit Engineering variant, a partnership with Red Owl, led to a sniper detection Packbot, while a partnership with Taser is underway to result in a police/MP variant.

The nifty the MARCbot, the BomBot (top left) has a Video (top left on the page you reach) to show that a bot can be one tough little guy, and not such a ridiculous ED.

After the practicalities of robots, Gaberlunzie was sent an amazing view of space from Discovery Magazine, essentially a time lapse video of the Earth at night, footage from August to October 2011 and taken by astronauts aboard the International Space Station. Awesome is the right word.

And just to bring you back to the humble and delightfully ridiculous things of earth, try a gaming bullfrog.
