As you know, when iRobot isn't hard at work developing some adorable automated vacuum cleaners , it has a quite lucrative sideline in DARPA-funded research projects . On that front, it looks like we finally have some results to report back on that ChemBot project that first appeared on our radar early last year. Unveiled at the International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) yesterday, this palm-sized troublemaker is being billed as "the first demonstration of a completely soft, mobile robot using jamming as an enabling technology." The "jamming" in question is something called "jamming skin enabled locomotion," which traps air and a collection of loosely packed particles in a package made of silicon rubber.

The Hamilton Wood Type Catalog #14 is 125 pages of both classic and surprisingly iconic fonts, figures, icons and imagery. It’s so full of great inspiration and I plan on spending my evening flipping through the 90+ pages I didn’t make it through this morning. I used to run into a lot of problems finding good inspiration for vintage type and type treatments while in school and usually found a few labels, but nothing like this. If only I had ffffound this earlier!

100 Illustrated Horror Film Posters: Part 1
For some, Halloween means costume parties and drunken debauchery. That’s never really been my style. Personally, I like to spend my Halloween evenings eating candy and watching scary movies. Yeah, I’m a nerd – I know. This Halloween season has had me reminiscing of the brilliant horror and sci-fi movie posters of years past. Particularly, I am a fan of the illustrated posters that used to be the staple of nearly every science fiction and horror film released.Although 2008 was a very good year for sans-serifs, there was also an impressive crop of serif fonts. Strikingly original, Marat by Ludwig Übele was the most remarkable of them all: sturdy, compact, and very legible. Its superior quality and unique appearance met with great response from MyFonts’ customers, making it 2008’s best selling serif text font of the year. Although it works beautifully at small text sizes, its bold weights are full of character and can double as attention-grabbing headline faces. Besides the professionally equipped Marat Pro , there’s Marat Std , a more affordable basic version. <p style="text-align:right;color:#A8A8A8"></p>
