I noted the Mini robot seen on MeFi as it scrolled down the page.

It would seem that the ad agency that crafted the videos has launched the campaign. It takes the form of an excerpt from Casson Publishing’s ‘delayed’ book, Men of Metal, apparently appearing in current magazines such as Rolling Stone.

In the comments on my original entry, it seems that a fair number of folks are quite anxious to believe that the robot is real. But what of the startling evidence that the Lone Gunmen predicted 9-11?

I mentioned iPhoto2Gallery a few days ago, and man, it is the greatest. It’s waay faster than using the in-browser post for Gallery; it may even be faster than adding pics via the command line.

Alas, though, for the stalled-out iPhoto to Blog plugin. While the developer’s teaser for a new version screenshot implies awareness of the bugs and UI problems with the plugin as it stands, the work-in-progress looks a bit like a work in holding, as in the comments for the site he notes a new beta will be out ‘soon’ – in February.

Oh well!

Looks like it’s time to go back to the MovableType-Gallery integration hunt.

Speaking of Mac plugins, googling for iChat plugins doesn;t seem to bring anything up, although iChatUSBCam appears to extend the functionality of iChat in a very plugin-like way. Poking around ADC didn’t yield anything in the way of an SDK.

iChat Streaming Icon also modifies iChat functionality. However, beyond these two apps, I am not finding much in the area.

Danelope presses on with his hard-hitting coverage of the developing Good-Tempered Creatures story, this time bringing us an exclusive email interview with a key participant in the initial program.

StickerNation :: International Sticker Network has a bunch of cool stickers in the archive.

My chicken sense a-tingle, I did a keyword search on ‘SARS,’ which returned a user page for Mr. Chicken (I won’t use the real handle to provide a minimum of Google cloaking). The most recent entry is 6 months old.

There are a bunch of photos as well (you may have to sub-select our artists’ name in the appropriate drop down). Here are the pics uploaded by the artist.

This one is of particular interest.

The Punisher: hated it!

OTOH if you like the character you might like the film, but I’m doubtful.

UPDATE: they ran it in The Mercury as well as The Stranger. I gather it might show up elsewhere too but until I see it mum’s the word.

UPDATE II: the review was picked up by AlterNet too, and appeared there on April 19.

thingsmagazine.net runs down the Crystal Palace. Thanks, Things!

Maciej makes the scene with ‘Mammon’ in the improbable state of Arizona, and lands some good ones on Esther Dyson.
