Awesome!
I remember when this started but hadn’t heard much about it since then. Of course I helped out!
Check the video for an explanation. Man I love the internet.
LOL, INTERNETS. 1
Seriously, what hope do old people have? I am just glad I wasn’t born 10 years earlier or I would just be freaking out on a daily basis.
"What the fuck are you talking about Ash?", I hear you say?
Seriously. The internet is art. Who knows why it does what it does?
I don’t. And I’m hip, bitches!

You need Torrent2Exe then, innit? Obviously your dad needs that ‘Scarlett Johansson’ movie for ‘research’ and you don’t want to waste your bandwidth on porn research do ya???
The answer is no, so get Torrent2Exe and let em get it themselves!
Introducing "Cheapo" 0
Not the cheapest robot in the world. But pretty cheap. Cheapo is an experiment in budget robotics.
I am not sure how much Cheapo cost but it wasn’t much. Ok the Arduino controller and servos cost a little bit but not that much. And the stuff that I built his body out of cost about $1 I think.
The poor little guy is not much to look at now. But just wait until I get some sensors and onboard power in there. He still won’t be much to look at, but he will be smart as a cookie. Like literally, a cookie that you would eat. And once I upload my proprietary "Interactive Droid Executive Layer" firmware onto him… Well, who knows cos I haven’t even written that crap yet.
Now all I need to do is find some JST connectors for the friggin infrared sensors I have sitting around in my toolbox… I will give you eyes Cheapo. So you may better bring me beers.
Mmmm. Beer.

Ok, so I have just got back from another fruitful night of discussion (over beers) with Dan as to how we are going to a) revolutionise the software world and b) become GaJILLIONaires. The only problem is that I got so mentally lubricated (read: drunk) that I for some reason I mistakenly believed that a 7-Eleven donut was exactly what I needed at this time of night.
Now I have a sugar headache and feel like I am all hopped up on goofballs with nowhere to go. I have a feeling the only way to channel this sudden rush of low quality sweetener to my brain is to write a really insightful and witty blog post about it then attempt to fall asleep.
Damn, that’s 0/0 so far…

Poor little Pleo, it didn’t stand a chance!
