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

Built for MOC Wars
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.
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.
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.

You see what you see in rock formations. I see pieces of other robots laying around this surviving robot.
This is the Alien World area and requires a hike in the desert.
First Law: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
Second Law: A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
Third Law: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws
This one started off experimenting with the body shape. I think it turned out ok but I'm not super excited with it. I imagine that before the Battle for the Moon heated up, both countries established small colonies on the moon and did lunar science. When the war began and the respective militaries took over, these still useful unarmed mecha were retained for utility roles far from the front lines.
