Asimo Gets Smarter; SkyNet is Next.

Posted by surferboi in robots

remember to tip your Asimo!

Ok, so one more nod to my homies from Nippon. Despite the fact that they may be inviting the destruction of our race under the carbon-fiber jack-boots of our robot overlords, Honda has been pumping more smarts into the beloved Asimo. The digital dude can plug himself in when he’s running low, and work with another homie to help people get they snack’on and drink’on propa. Probably can’t move like the coolio Qrio, but he’s ahite.

That’s fine. Laugh all you want. But when this dude’s grandkids come knocking, won’t be so funny then, will it?

You know, there are a lot of things I could say, but my Mumma told me to be nice. You make up your own mind.

Now this little ditty is a crowd fave here at SurferBoi World HQ. Not sure where I got it, but this mashup is one of the most bizarre/unique combos I have heard. If you want rumps jumpin’ out the seats and onto the dance floor, put this clip on and move the tables back. Gonna be some ass-shakin’ going on. :)

Honda CR-Z Comes to America

Folks know how much I love Hondas (they just work!). My days as a pimp daddy are winding down, so it’s getting close to the time where I can ditch the PDV (that’s Pimp Daddy Van for the uncool amongst you.) And the Honda CR-Z Hybrid is the new hotness I been keeping my eye on. A hot little hybrid, this ride will be cool and fuel-efficient, something I can’t say about the PDV. Due to ship in 2009, the CR-Z will be making it’s first appearance at the Detroit Auto Show. This model isn’t the only new tech Honda is cooking up in the lab. Check out what will be the first production fuel cell car, the FCX Clarity. (They need to work on that name…) But since it smacks of “OldsterMobile” the ‘Boi ain’t so hot on this model. Yet. Cool tech though.
