I liked the cute quirkiness of this street art transforming exhaust fans and air conditioning intakes into a robot. Fun!

I ROBOT
This is one of the first books I ever read after leaving school and it took me down the long road of Science Fiction. Isaac Asimov, Philip K Dick, J G Ballard, Frederic Pohl, Jack Williamson, Robert A Heinlein and so many others.
So this is a little tribute to those imaginative folk who put pen to paper, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
The little clock character was a birthday gift of many moons ago, he seemed appropriate to go on the shelf too. A bit cranky now, he doesn’t stand up by himself but leans in a very casual way and is a good timekeeper.
The next bit is a bit weird, I don’t own a copy of Asimov’s “I Robot” because it’s not in Penguin Books and I only collect Penguin Science fiction but I might make an exception and buy it along with the ‘Foundation' series at some time.
Hope some of you have enjoyed Sci/Fi too and have appreciated those writers and their imaginations. Here are a couple of other titles that I think have gone down in history as classic fiction.
We are never weird on the internet

Category 7. Colonial Futurism
A blend of old-fashioned "retro styles" with futuristic technology. Explores the themes of tension between past and future, and between the alienating and empowering effects of technology - think mecha harvesting wheat, floating parishes, that kinda stuff.
TMI Robotics Club prepares for Saturday's Getting Excited About Robots (GEAR) competition at UTSA. They will compete against more than 150 teams with a robot they have designed and programmed to complete various tasks in as limited time as possible.
Back in 2005, Ken & I both worked as subcontractors to NASA. A work friend discovered this in the basement of the building we worked in - Building 4610 - on Redstone Arsenal/Huntsville, Alabama. (incidentally the building my Dad worked in as a NASA employee), and we went down to look!
Robot alert! We "think" he was on loan from the Alabama Space & Rocket Center, as a fun exhibit. Made me think of WALL-E.
I just came across these old photos from 2005, looking through my archives for something else- 20 years ago!
Somewhere under you, a little robot sits on the edge of a reflective pool. He is hoping and wondering if there is anyone else like him in the world.
When my son was very little he asked me why there were robots lining the Edinburgh City Bypass. I told them that they were sentries whose job was to protect the wild animals from crossing the bypass and getting injured or killed. I took this photo from just beside the busy dual carriageway. The beautiful Pentland Hills are in the background.
The joint robot/mecha strike force assembles for a family portrait, my new profile picture.
Thanks a million Tim!
As soon as Burning Man 2018 ended, "Robot Resurrection" (right) paid a visit to "Big Charles... (An homage to Charlie Smith)" (left).
Both robots are creations by Shane Evans.

Still working on the larger robot, though progress is slow. The upper arm is mostly done and, being stumped on the torso, I'll probably move onto the legs next.
I cloned out the stand here. Even if the rest of the robot were built, and the arm was attached to something, that elbow joint is not strong enough to hold up the smaller bot.
EXPLORED! 7-17-09! Highest position #2/500...
Thank you very much!
In conjunction with the launching of the highly anticipated movie of the year “Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen”, an exhibition was held at one of my local shopping malls & it attracted a large crowd of people gathering & taking photos of the popular toy figures that were on display.
I guess it didn’t take you long to figure out I was joining the crowd or I wouldn’t have this photo uploaded on Flickr by now. It was a great family event you could notice how happy & giddy the little kids were. Being an adult, it did not deprive me of having my own fun though...mind you, I had a ball taking photos thru my viewfinder that day.
