Last night Peter Gabriel gave a TED talk announcing the launch of his most recent labor of love: The Interspecies Internet. Seriously. Are you ready to talk to dolphins, apes, elephants, and other “self-aware” animals online? “What would happen if we could somehow find new interfaces – visual, audio — to allow us to communicate with the […]
You may remember seeing the BigDog robot created by Boston Dynamics a couple years ago, when they put this video online and instilled fear into humans of a robot’s capabilities, but back then, the BigDog was only good at running. As evidenced from this new video, the BigDog can now throw cinderblocks and maintain its […]

Jeremy Bena, an art student from Kansas City, capitalized on a snow day by exercising his abilities. Behold Bena’s Snow Toilet. “I’m an art student, just having fun, trying to make the most of the weather out here.
