ChemBot "Jamming Skin Polymorph" (2009) by iRobot, Bedford, MA. The shape-shifting ChemBot moves around using “jamming skin enabled locomotion.” Its silicone skin includes twenty bladders, arranged in a regular icosahedron, filled with air and loosely-packed particles. When the air is sucked out, the decrease in pressure constricts the skin, and the remaining particles solidify in place. Under the ChemBot's skin is an incompressible fluid sac and an actuator to vary its volume. A combination of unjamming selected bladders and inflating the interior sac causes its skin to bulge outwards, making it roll around.

"If covert access to denied or hostile space is required during military operations, the effectiveness of unmanned platforms such as mechanical robots can be limited if the only available points of entry are small openings. The goal of the Chemical Robots (ChemBots) program is to create a new class of soft, flexible, meso-scale mobile objects that can identify and maneuver through openings smaller than their dimensions and perform tasks once entry is gained." – Chemical Robots (ChemBots), Dr. Gill Pratt, DARPA, Defence Sciences Office.

I feel so bad for this beautiful 1805 home in New Bedford, Massachusetts. It wants to be a home again, b/c it's currently being used as an office. Why is this allowed? I hope someone buys it and puts it back. 6bds, 4ba, reduced from $1.05M to $980, probably b/c of what they did to the kitchen, alone. Let's assess the damage and what has to be done.

Okay, they get points for leaving the original railing and putting a nice runner on the stairs. They left the chandelier and painted the woodwork white. But at least it's original. I could live w/the white. The Exit sign and industrial fire alarm need to go, along w/the water cooler. And, the indoor/outdoor carpeting comes up, too.

The sitting room looks nice- I wonder if they painted the walls a more homey/Victorian color and put some furniture around. Thankfully, they didn't put in neon lights and the fireplace is original.

The fireplace is here. That doesn't look like wainscoting, though, it looks like molding.

They completely eliminated the kitchen, but kept the pantry. So, it needs a whole new kitchen.

I don't know if they put up that wall w/the door.

This is what's behind the wall. It was probably a sun porch.

Maybe this is a dining room. The windows are beautiful.

A staff kitchen upstairs.

Oh, no, they made built-in cubicles. Get the sledgehammer.

This door has a fire safety opener, I guess you can live with that.

Well, the back yard's gone and there's a series of ramps and stairs, plus parking. The lot measures .51 acre.

There appears to be a side yard.

And, they cut the front yard in two to make a large drive with an entrance and an exit. There's a lot to do to make it a home again.

If any of you rad folks are around New Bedford, MA and are into cryptids, folklore, or the ocean and all the weird and wonderful beasties residing in it then be sure to check out the new Sea Monsters: Real and Imagined exhibit at the New Bedford Fishing Heritage Center!

And if you look closely you might even see one of my Drawtober cryptid illustrations as part of a display...

I just yoinked this off a video they posted of the exhibit so it’s a lousy picture—but I suppose that is kinda appropriate for a cryptid! 

Here’s a better image of the artwork though:

The Koakun-klun!

Trailer for the movie « Finestkind »

Tim Daly portrays Dennis Sykes, Wallace’s character’s father and a very successful lawyer married to Donna (Davidovich), who also happens to be the ex-wife of Ray Eldridge (Tommy Lee Jones).

The crime thriller stars Oscar-winner Tommy Lee Jones, Ben Foster, Toby Wallace and Jenna Ortega. It is written and directed by Brian Helgeland, the Academy Award-winning screenwriter of “L.A. Confidential” and “Mystic River,” as well as the director of “A Knight’s Tale.” “Finestkind” is set to debut exclusively on Paramount+ in December 15, 2023.

The film unfolds in New Bedford, Mass., America’s biggest commercial fishing port, and tells the story of two brothers (Foster and Wallace) from opposite sides of the tracks, who are reunited as adults over one fateful summer. When desperate circumstances force them to strike a deal with a dangerous Boston crime syndicate, a young woman (Ortega) finds herself caught in the middle. This tests the bonds between brothers, friends, and a father (Jones) and his son.

By the way, New Bedford, MA is where Téa Leoni got a sound booth for ADR named after her. 😉

Dirt Dog (model 1100) by iRobot, Bedford, MA (2006). The Dirt Dog is designed for heavy duty cleaning in home workshops and garages. The main difference between Dirt Dog and its Roomba cousins is that it has no vacuum, "it uses only brushes as the pickup and it has a very simple interface, there is only a single button on the unit. Under the unit are a set of two brushes about 6" wide (one behind the other) to throw debris into it's on-board bin and a single 5" wand on the side to move material from the edge towards the center for pickup, this is what enables the unit to clean near walls and other impediments. There are two knobby drive wheels to allow it to climb over some items such as floor mats and such." – iRobot Dirt Dog, by Phil Bumbalough.

In fact, the original Roomba was not envisaged to have a vacuum at all. "A few months from product launch, we demonstrated one of our prototypes to a focus group. The setup was classical: A facilitator presented Roomba to a cross section of potential customers while the engineers watched from a darkened room behind a one-way mirror. The session was going well, people seemed to like the robot and it picked up test dirt effectively. Then the facilitator mentioned that Roomba used a carpet sweeper mechanism and did not include a vacuum. The mood changed. Our test group revised the price they’d be willing to pay for Roomba, cutting in half their estimate from only minutes earlier. We designers were perplexed. We solved our energy problem by eschewing a vacuum in favor of a carpet sweeper—and it worked! Why wasn’t that enough for the focus group? Decades of advertising have trained consumers that a vacuum drawing lots of amps means effective cleaning. We wanted customers to judge our new technology using a more appropriate metric. But there was no realistic way to accomplish that. Instead, our project manager declared, “Roomba must have a vacuum, even if it does nothing.” " – Don’t Fear the Robot, by Joe Jones.
