The (not so) Daily Chris

Disclaimer: Chris Leonard is not an engineer, but he plays one on CR4.

Actually, I'm what you would call a "technology professional." I'm an editor and technical writer by trade. I'm interested in the dissemination of information, especially in relation to "Web 2.0", "Nu Media," etc., what ever you want to call it. I'm going to use this blog to investigate the big questions in the ever changing media landscape: How do we in the early 21st century communicate with each other? What tools do we use? How is language evolving? How can two people read the same sentence and draw two completely different conclusions?

I also have a soft spot for Cryptozoology and Urban Legends, so I will likely write about them from time to time.

26 Foot "Dolphin" Takes Over Trafalgar Square (video)

Hey, if you like really big robots, head over to London this week. In celebration of the American football game this weekend between the New York Giants and the Miami Dolphins, a 26 foot tall animatronic robot of Miami Defensive End Jason Taylor (video) that can walk and talk is touring the city. Designed and built by Artem LTD, "Big JT" as the robot has been dubbed is believed to be the largest animated "human" robot ever assembled. Artem, using a team of 40, was able to engineer the massive robot in just under 10 weeks. For more on the creation of "Big JT" and where in London you'll find him, check out this page.

The big question, though, is whether a player of that size would be enough to help the Dolphins win a game.

Blimey! Just what Basildon needs in preparation with its next game against Wickford!

Imagine getting that into McDonalds? <Splutter>
