which is another service where for a small (ie: large) fee, you can turn your vague appearance into a little robot thing. This happens via www.mechrc.com and www.thatsmyface.com

who have this amazing service where you can upload a couple of pictures and they’ll make a 3D digitised version, which makes you look even more fucking weird than you do in real life.

“Apply your face to many items” they suggest. What? Like egg-cups? Soap-on-a-rope? Your actual face?… How about wall-papering the toilet with hundreds of them?

Ok you’re scaring me now.

I can think of endless possibilities for this, and not a single one of them doesn’t give me the creeps.

An ode to Cognitive Surplus.

A celebration of the inventive backwaters of the human spirit... a celebration of people who would appear to have far too much time on their hands...


A celebration of laterality.


If you come they will build it.


By knowledge shall the spheres be filled.
