iPhone as detachable-head rolls a little closer

Spherical Robots have definately got a future I think – not because they’re actually useful for anything, but because people can’t seem to stop making them.

The thing above isn’t dissimilar to Sony’s thing from 2007 – which I ranted on about re: hackability. I’m not sure the thing above is any better to be honest… unless the phone is open-sourced. Then you can program it yourself – and as an iphone (I mean that generically) is (as I keep saying) basically a detachable head, you’ll be able to use it for detachable head stuff… like… errr… hassling the cat via remote-control, from the other side of the world, or checking if you’ve left the gas on… from the other side of the world. That sort of thing.

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.
