The force

blakewhitman:

The closest I ever get to using the force on a daily basis is the ability to push videos to the front of the cue when i have a strong urge to see them right now.

It’s a treasured power.

Bands played and concrete crumbled as the Towards Carfree Cities Conference kicked off last Monday with Depaving Day. With pry bars and shovels, 150 volunteers began the transformation of a 3000 square foot asphalt parking lot into a community greenspace.

The empty lot on the corner of N. Williams and Fargo Street is now on its way to becoming Fargo Gardens, a pilot project of the nonprofit Depave that will soon feature vegetables, fruit trees, native plants, and a patio. Depave’s mission is to inspire and promote the removal of unnecessary concrete and asphalt from urban areas.

This little guy is a drum machine robot that searches for surfaces to drum on. It even samples itself to produce complex rhythms.

If the human race ever becomes enslaved by robots, I hope and pray they’re at least this cool.

I love this guy!
