I was looking for “robot christmas” on deviantart, and found this stunning piece among the expected silly drawings. I love the gentle way the robot is holding the girl, and his seeming curiosity at her kindness as she puts a wreath on his finger.

If you haven’t checked out Faded Paper Figure’s music yet, it’s essentially electronic infused geek pop, and has been in heavy rotation in my iTunes since I discovered them and has spread to a lot of other Resistors. I just found this video of theirs, and it’s pretty amazing. Who doesn’t love a little office robot romance?

The 3D recognition that’s going on here is pretty remarkable - not just picking and placing things from set locations, but grabbing objects from a pile and assembling them, is very impressive! For better or worse, you have to imagine that in a few years as these get better and better we’re going to see humans replaced on the factory line altogether.

I’ve been looking into this Light o Rama quite a bit lately and it looks like it’s pretty cool stuff though this is the first interactive version I’ve seen. I’d like to see it done with some more intense music but for a first round this is pretty awesome.

For those that don’t know, Light o Rama is a light controller designed for controlling ornamental lighting like this. You can find some pretty amazing displays on youtube if you look around.

Combining Victorian restoration, the Steampunk aesthetic, and modern conveniences, this is truly a steampunk home, and looks like an awesome place to live! There’s lots more photos and descriptions at the source.

Some of the things people come up with these days is just amazing and this is definitely one of those things. It’s so simple yet so genius!

In case you can’t see them, the hands are projected using LED’s around the perimeter of the face of the clock.

This is a great chiptune cover of thriller, and I love seeing chiptunes paired with 8-bit inspired art. Anamanaguchi’s http://dawnmetropolis.com is my favorite example, but this is pretty neat as well!

The amount of work that has gone into this is amazing and the overall impression is incredible. I especially love the chandelier made from half-full chemistry glass.

I figured this was somewhere in Europe, but it’s right here in NYC! I think we’ll have to round up some folks from NYCR and make an excursion to check this place out.

Evil Mad Scientist has posted a tutorial along with a bunch of photos of these great DIY coasters. If you’re good with a jigsaw or have a laser cutter handy, these could be a great homemade gift for the designer in your life.
