Flickr’s “blog this” feature makes it way too easy to do stuff like this. There are over nine million images available under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 license. a quick search for “robots” yields over six thousand results. The fourth from the top is this.
Paul Keller’s original caption reads thusly:
“Fortune telling robot on the sidewalk opposite Russel market in Bangalore. Passers-by can have their fortune told by the robot in four different languages: Tamil, Hindi, Maharati & Kannada.”
Nine million free images to play with? Oooh, I’m gonna have too much fun with this. [rubs hands and cackles]

It’s four years since we got married. Anne informs me that this makes it our Robot Anniversary.
I couldn’t be more pleased. Now I’m going off to sleep off half a bottle of Tempranillo and some fancy bistro cuisine.

Random web surfing this morning triggered early childhood memories of this very old anime that I used to watch on Channel 44. I didn’t remember the name of the show or any of the characters except the evil Warlock of Mars. Fortunately someone has posted an episode on YouTube in all its poorly-animated black and white glory.
Sit back and enjoy the spectacle as Prince Planet battles Warlock and General Crustacean.
By the way, James Nicholson? Jack Nicholson’s dad. Just thought you needed to know that.
