The Swarmeniod site (http://www.swarmanoid.org/), with eye-bots, foot-bots, and hand-bots, seems down-right Ruckerian - there are even some ants invading the site! Very intersting links, indeed.

It was fun doing my prsentation as a blog entry, as most of the audience had laptops and just went to the blog. This could be a trend. Then you don't need the projector and the screen... I know there have been UFO-type rumors about dragonfly cameras, but I don't think they exist in the form I imagine. There IS a lightweight camera on a board (but no wings, just the board) trademarked as DragonFly, and the Brit police have a little flying camera with 3 - 5 helicopter blades, and I'm sure the Pentagon is working on a dragonfly camera. If you have some juicy dragonfly links, put them in a comment and it'll automatically go into WordPress moderation and eventually I'll clear it and we can see them.
