The DARPA Robotics Challenge is being held today and tomorrow (June 5th & 6th). Robots driving cars, opening doors and climbing through rubble. It's a slow process, but listening to this on repeat makes it much more enjoyable.
My partner Laura found a treasure in my flat that had been hidden in plain sight since I moved in.
It looked like a manufacturer's metal plaque on a chest. It had been painted the same colour as the chest and sat in a postion typical of human design.
But upon closer inspection it turned out to be a souvenir pressed penny. Looking through the paint we deciphered which tourist attraction it had come from...
To my astonishment it was from the old World Trade Center towers.
Laura collects pressed pennies and will clean the paint off and add it to her collection.
I'm trying the fathom how it came to be painted and placed there. It wasn't attached in any way whatsoever.

DC comics becoming interesting again? Maybe. Maybe not. Sexed up and lacking in nuance more likely.
