I, Robot-Security-and-Entertainment-Device
Just when you thought we'd left Japan in the dust... They've come up with a human-shaped, walking, dancing, multi-tasking robot for domestic use. I'm not kidding (pictured left). Actually, Japan does still lead the world in robotics...
This may be Japan's best thing since Shibuya-kei music, in which Japanese mall kids sincerely reproduce kitschy 60s and 70s adult party music that sounds much campier and more ironic then they could possibly have intended. If you'd like to hear a sample, just ask me.
Check out part one of Peter's celebrity encounters - he's sure had more luck than I have. And part two.
