Real Dinosaur on the Loose in a Museum Makes Learning Fun, Extremely Dangerous

This is a video of a dinosaur on the loose in the LA Museum of Natural History. No computer effects used here, folks: it's all real. Well, I mean, it's not a real dinosaur of course or those kids would be totally devoured, but you know what I mean. If you look closely at the dinosaur you can see what's going on here. One thing's for certain: I want one, and I want one bad. No trick or treaters will have anything on me this year, mark my words. [Random Good Stuff]

A Robotic Jurassic Park Coming to Dubai

When it comes to Dubai and attracting wealthy tourists, the word "restraint" is seldom used. Perhaps that is why it is not surprising that the locals are building a $1 billion theme park that will feature over 100 animatronic dinosaurs of 40 different species. Dubbed "Restless Planet," the park will attempt to provide an educational experience amid all of the Vegas-style spectacle. This will be done using history themed rides and robots/habitats that represent an accurate portrayal (based on current knowledge) of what life was like millions of years ago. More »

Pleo Meets Dogs, Dogs Don't Like Pleo, Pleo Gets Mad

Pleo the robot dinosaur showed up on my doorstep Friday afternoon, and I figured it would be nice to take it in and introduce it to my dogs. Unfortunately, the dogs gave Pleo the cold shoulder, and that really pissed Pleo off, sending it into an anger-filled rampage against one of the dogs. Let's just say Pleo claimed its spot as the new pet of the house. Poor doggie. [Pleo] More »

When Sliderules Ruled the Earth

TR3-2.jpegSo sad. Saffo has an interesting examination of the TR3, a calculator with a vestigial sliderule on the back.

Bioengineering Oatmeal: Quaker Dinosaur Eggs Hands On

We all ate oatmeal when we were kids, right? Of course. We all loved the delicious taste of brown-sugar and cinnamon in our mouths but it was always a bit boring.
