Robot Monday: Robot Jox fight scene
8 June 2009 | Posted by Jeffrey Barke | No comments
Achilles vs Alexander in the first big fight scene in Robot Jox, a movie I haven't seen (yet!). I guess it's a 1990 film about two giant robots that fight in an arena.
Best YouTube comment, by Mysanthropyc: This film is a documentary, by the way. This really happened. This is how we won the Cold War.

Robot Monday: Worst robot evar! Box from Logan Run’s
23 March 2009 | Posted by Jeffrey Barke | 1 comment
Fish, plankton, sea-greens and protein from the sea. … Overwhelming, am I not? Are you too startled? Am I too removed from your ken? … Box … Box … Box…
Iconic, but Box from Logan's Run is still the lamest robot/cyborg ever!
More on Box at Jeff's Robots, including an mp3 of Box's introductory speech!

Has Divestiture Worked? A 25th Anniversary Assessment of the Breakup of AT&T
22 March 2009 | Posted by Jeffrey Barke | 1 comment
In 1984, AT&T, then the largest company in the U.S., was broken up because of the monopoly controls "Ma Bell" had over telecommunications. Known as "Divestiture," we have reached the 25th anniversary of the AT&T breakup, and it is time to look carefully and critically at the deregulation of telecommunications to evaluate the effectiveness of this important economic policy.
Open Infrastructure Alliance (OIA), together with the Internet Society (ISOC) New York chapter, convened a series of panels on 6 March 2009 to dialog on the deregulation of the telecommunications industry.
Panel one—Historical perspective
- Bruce Kushnick
- Dean Landsman
- Tom Allibone
- Ken Levy
- Alex Goldman
- Mark Cooper

I don't know anything about these robots other than that everyone says they move "really smoothly and quickly for machines." And they do!
