Before I catch my flight back to SF, here are a few choice shots of my favorite fun at Wired's 2007 NextFest down in LA. Notable things include nano ferrite "magnetic fluid" solutions, prototypes of JPL's Mars rover running over Justin from Justin.tv (above), a giant disco wall that comes to life when your cellphone EMI hits its wiring system, Jeff Han's latest multitouch systems, a Japanese robot that looks like a samurai, complete with sword, armor and glowing red eyes, a few rainbow touch instruments like the laptop orchestra, some UAVs, one blond wearing body armor being hit with a shovel by another blond, hyper-efficient solar cells that can collect light from multiple angles, a supercomputer efficient enough to be powered by a team of cyclists, a bipedal robot with Albert Einstein's head. Lots of stuff, and I'll have videos of the rest, tomorrow. Mega-gallery here:

rofl... i watched justin get run over by that thing... hmm maybe justin would submit to getting run over by me and my powerchair when i get it he he :)
..Because all samurai have glowing red eyes. I get it.
I have the Wired issue with that Einstein robot on my desk at work right now, actually: issue 14.01 from January 2006. Crazy! I always thought it was a tad creepy.
Just got to L.A... Can't wait. Brian, if you see the guys in Beatport shirts, come say hi.
Woohoo! I'll be there on Sunday!
