Can Pinocchio Come Out and Play? Things Look Like Humans

I have been noticing things in the news that taken alone are just hopeful medical or impressive tech stories, but together makes me wonder.. when is the Robot coming? There is seemingly enough "stuff" out there, or soon to come, to assemble a pretty extraordinary robot by now. Question is when will this Pinocchio come out to play? It brings up a few questions.

Did the Blue Fairy create a Robot, or a Real Boy made of wood?



Pinocchio dies saving his family from the nightmarish whale. In return he is gifted with "real" life.



The only thing that changes about him as a soul is what he's made of. Are building materials the ruler on which something is judged to have rights? If he's killed as a "real" boy is it a crime, if so, why not when he's made of wood, if he's still the same "person"? It's easy to assume that most people would think a wooden or metal, artificially created person should have no rights, but what of one made of the same stuff we are? Well this is a children's tale that isn't real. Right?

What if you really have to face this question because someone skips the wood stage and goes right for flesh and bone? Science Fiction? Science yes but fiction still? Let's assemble a Robot:


Brain


Bones


Muscles


Skin and here too.


Eyes


Nervous System and here too.


Heart


Blood Vessels and Blood, here too

Internal Organs and Hands and Feet.

Features they could have built-in...

Helping Children with Autism
A Womb, Great Conversation Skills, Moving Things with their Brains will give them a lucrative future as magicians, Balance by learning from its mistakes, Knowing what it's Tasting (sort of..), Cooking for and Feeding you, Sensing your Every Need, Music Appreciation, Color Identification, Self Defense, Could they look like a Loved One, Could You Fall in Love with One? Would they like a Pet? Buy a Car?

Some of the Prejudice they will face.

This is just a small sample of what is publicly known. I am sure there is much more not revealed. Whether we like it or not it looks like the not-so-far future will have these new human/humanoid rights issues arise.

What side will you take?

Someone named Angeline Avis is posting stolen content and listing the site as "TLLT" and posting as "C Merry". I usually ignore negative people like this except I get an email tonight out of the blue obviously looking for the person running the site and they did a search under TLLT and C Merry and of course I and the thief's site show up so I get the email because there isn't one on the other site (No Surprise!). So in case this becomes a regular thing this person is obviously not being honest about what and who they are. I am just trying to make people smile not rip them off I have no tolerance for people that try to do rotten things.

Things Look Like Games! A Life-sized Candyland

Yesterday an entire street turned into a real life Candyland! Lombard Street (you know that famous twisty turny one in San Francisco) got turned into a life sized version of the famous kid's boardgame.

To celebrate Candy Land's 60th anniversary, 575 feet of switchbacks in the Russian Hill neighborhood were transformed into a life-size version of the board game.

Kids from the UC San Francisco Children's Hospital and Friends of the Children competed in a round of Candy Land, which makes my girlhood fantasyland, FAO Schwarz, look like child's play.
Click here for all the info and a picture of the cute cake the kids got at the end of the game :)

PS! Yes I am still here but ugh summer heat is making me melt in NYC :) What free-time I did have is being hogged up by my art project. I am making great progress, it's been getting it's time here and there btw "life" and all it's goodies but when it's done it will be worth it and yes I will share all. I do update Happy LOL Day on a semi regular basis. I am not gone I just need to get this stuff finished. I will also be getting ready to do FaerieCon again so it will be busy. So I hope you are having a nice summer (or winter if you are on the other end of our little floating rock in space :) ) and hopefully getting in some vacation time. I will be back! :)

All Kindsa Cozy!

Film Looks Like Fact, Pixar's Up and Edith Macefield

The new animated Pixar film "Up" (opening Friday) starts as an echo of a real lady's life in Ballard Washington. Edith Macefield held her ground while her neighborhood was torn down and giant buildings went up around her. She even refused one million dollars to move and opted to live the rest of her life in her own home. The gentrifying construction was forced to leave her patch of old school neighborhood paradise intact.



Disney and Pixar honored her spirit and acknowledged her story's tie to the film.


The realities of high wind, concrete walls and balloon poppage kept the real life version from looking as dramatic as the film, but it was a nice thought. "Up" sounds like a fun new adventure, Edith would probably approve.

This story also reminds me of another character that refused to budge in the face of "progress"...

Cool Caravan!

Wow this is such a great caravan, or as some call it, a trailer home. This creation by Mehrzeller is not just cool for a trailer home but cool for any home! Beautiful design and full of modern comforts, I would go anywhere in this.



Hey then park it by a pool with this:


And when you are forced to head back to work after your long weekend, maybe you'll get a job here?

I'm a Lubber, Not a Fighter

"While print designer Mary Katrantzou's Fall 2009 collection may have been inspired by vintage perfume bottles, I couldn't help but notice it's similarities to the Lubber Grasshopper, the most distinctive grasshopper species in the southeastern United States." Click picture for the complete post and photos.

When I first saw this beautiful post on Trend de la Creme, I thought the inspiration was insectile too. Bugs, though we stomp them, are gorgeous little machines.
Now if I could have only typed this post in the Insectile Font, it would have been truly buggy.

Kiwi Looks Like Kiwi

The Kiwi is the National Bird of New Zealand, even the people who live there are affectionately called "Kiwis".
One man's love of the bird extends even to fruit. Yes there is a Kiwi fruit that sort of looks like a Kiwi:

Kiwi Fruit from the groves of New Zealand
Originally uploaded by purplespace.

But this fruit found in Shavon Green's backyard in Auckland really nailed the look. Christchurch businessman Mike Pero paid $1000 for it at auction, conditional on a $500 donation to The Child Cancer Foundation. Everyone was happy. He got his Kiwi, she got much more than the going rate for the fruit, and a worthy charity got a nice donation.

All for the love of a Kiwi!
