I don't know how it answers the question: How could our actions be seen within a larger context of human connection that emerges from the complexity of the city itself?

But I thought it was very nice, nevertheless. : )

Richard | 347 comments Having seen this, I'm going to equip my kids with a "flag stating their intended destination". It's going to save me a lot of hassle getting them where they need to go.

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments a very cool experiment and i love that it brought out the best in people


message 5: by Richard (new)

Richard | 347 comments I find item 4 somewhat disconcerting, Matthew. Or do you mean: I want to help that robot? Surely the whole point is to let it go, to NOT have it?


message 6: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments aw heck matthew, steal it and let it bump around your room for a few days


message 7: by Richard (new)

Richard | 347 comments Don't forget to change the flag with intended destination to: "Remain in Matthew's room".


message 8: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments right. good point richard. or just write:

"Danger Will Robinson" on the flag and turn it loose

Leshawn | 109 comments I love that Richard is going to equip his kids with flags with their intended destinations! What a creative parental mind!

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments it could save bus fare


message 11: by Matthieu (new)

Matthieu | 1009 comments Richard: Once it's finished with its journey, I'd be happy to provide it with a home... I mean, JUST LOOK AT IT!

I don't know why I called it creepy. It's not.


message 19: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments good backpedal sally. i like that in a person although usually first impulses on creepiness are spot on


message 20: by Kelly (Maybedog) (new)

Kelly (Maybedog) (maybedog) It's beauteous. My best friend's husband is a roboticist at NASA. When he was working on his dissertation he built a little robot to carry their baby around the floor in and rock her while he was working. It was *almost* as cute as this robot.
