It seems someone has taken hexapodal robots one step closer to total world domination. A guy named Matt created a robot that can create 3-D surfaces using a router and and end mill bit.

Just wait until the day when hexapodal robots can create more hexapodal robots! Let’s hope no one lets them think for themselves.

It’s amazing how many new Vladimir Putin facts create themselves through the news every week! Does anyone have any others?
- Vladimir Putin is like the energizer bunny. He just keeps returning and returning and returning to power.
- Vladimir Putin has strong and vigorous relationships with all of Russia’s most beautiful and talented gymnasts.
- Vladimir Putin would be James Bond’s greatest super villain ever. So great, in fact, that the Bond franchise will not discuss the deal for fears of James Bond being killed outright within 20 seconds of the movie’s opening sequence.
- Vladimir Putin doesn’t speak with his fists. He speaks with his missiles.

- Russia’s icebreaker fleet comes equipped with stripper poles for the exclusive entertainment of Vladimir Putin when he goes on vacation to the ice fields.

Last night I went for a quick run along the Witham Hill bike path. In spite of the rain, the leaves are still hanging onto the trees in their full fall glory. In total, I ran 2.2 miles.
