Dance, lil' bugger, dance!


It just doesn't get much cooler than a tiny lil' robot that can dance better than most anybody I know. Now if they could just make it a little more cheaply so I could get one.

The coolest thing about this project from Marek Michalowski is that it's not a standard, single dance move being repeated over and over again. Instead, the lil' Keepon varies the dance moves throughout the video.

Oh, sure, Michalowski seems to be using the Keepon in some sort of semi-scientific study of "dance-oriented nonverbal play", but I couldn't care less about that. Instead, I just dig watching the yellow blob dance.

Have fun folks, and thanks to Annie for pointing this one out.

Dig it...new laptop and all...

Annie's blog does continue to entertain, and I look forward to seeing how it shifts as she moves into the world of work.
