robota

no, i don't mean food grilled japanese style. i mean etymologically, the czech, slovak & polish word for serf labor, & the subject of san jose museum of art's current exhibit, robots: evolution of a cultural icon

i was pretty hyped to go—been watching battlestar galactica, & 2070 to boot these days—but it's a conservative exhibit. now it's still a worthy exhibit—worthy of their admission price. but i wanted more: roombas scooting around, darpas running laps, or robot competitions. heck, even 1 agv would have been fun. it's a good thing chassis the beer pouring robot was there that night serving.
