A Little Old? Yes. Still Amazing? Yep.

I’m currently swamped with work right now, so I thought I’d turn the “blogable” file upside down and see what falls out. Here are some great links which, though they may not be the newest thing on the internet, are still especially amazing.

Robot calligraphy

A robot that does calligraphy? Affirmative. This robot is rewriting the entire Bible, one character at a time. Next up: outsourcing all things that take patience to robots.

ISO50

If you ever need to get that retro feeling just head over to the ISO50 blog. They are masters at making the old seem new and the new seem old … making it all look good. Take this photo for instance, shot on a recent trip to Norway. Looks like it could have been taken 30 years ago.

Old Henson Creatives

Jim Henson was a super creative guy. In the 1960′s he made some commercials for Wilken’s Coffee. They precede the Muppets, and while they might not be ok to show on tv now, they are still brilliant.

This old barn

Here’s a great photo of an old barn in Waterville, Washington (very near my hometown of Wenatchee). The barn still has an old advertisement painted on it and is really cool to see as you drive into town.

The Future

This video is a few months old but has some stunning discoveries about the future.
