Quick video post today.

First, I went ahead and put a bunch of my videos up on Vimeo. They’re not anything at all special or artsy. Basically they’re just occasions where instead of turning my camera to “Auto” i turned it to “Movie”. But heres a link to my page for posterity Alex’s Vimeo Videos (I’m not RickRolling you this time, I promise.) On a related note, if you’re wondering how one entertains oneself in Bemidji, MN check out the video after the break.

Second, Robots are getting cooler. Also props to MIT for coming out with this robot (Nexi), which rivals the expressive abilities of most AIBots I’ve seen to date. It’s amazing what emotions can be expressed with only the eyebrows, eyelids, eyes, and mouth. If you’ve got a spare few minutes, just imagine what it’dd be like to have a conversation with this thing. I remember the first time I talked to an AIMBot. Blew my freaking mind. Anyway, enjoy the video:

I wouldn’t say I’m proud of these moments, in fact I’m reluctant to post them, but what the hey, I’ve done stupider things.

Redneck? You be the judge:
