When I was a teenager, I started to get interested in this whole computer thing. Yeah actually much later than most of the others. I remember a discussion with my father at that time, that if I decide to do IT, I should not go into software development and rather decide to go for robotics. Some weeks later I got a book about it. But I was never talented when it came to dexterity and/or real construction of things (Damn I’m even afraid today, if I have to open my desktop box :) ). So I lost interest in this part of today’s technology….

Until I saw that link:

Oh my freaking god, this thing is insane and one can only imagine what military use this will have at one point. Getting people to play with it for civil purposes will probably take its time, it has always been like that. But hey, I should have reconsidered….

P.S.: This entry was lying around for some time now on this blog without being published, so most of you will already know that link….
