Sex With Robots tonight!

No, I'm not having robot sex to celebrate my birthday, but if you're in New York, I encourage you to check out the final night of The Sex With Robots Festival by Caps Lock Theatre. There's more info in the link, but really, I think "sex with robots" is all you need to know (or at least, all I needed to know).

MIT Museum robot

No time to do the whole museum justice, but I highly recommend the MIT Museum in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I saw a self-portrait of Lady Gaga taken with a Polaroid, a Frenchy fry-adorned Polaroid, glass art, robots galore, 1960's protest video, a kitty purring Google app and much more. I expected it to be super technical, scientific and over my head but it was actually fascinating and MIT people are behind all sorts of things from coffee research to Rock Band to One Laptop Per Child.
