Leaders and followers

Shalom,

Viral video from Nokia with some cool effects and an interesting human twist on Pong at the end, although I would have found it more gratifying if there had been visual feedback with cuts and abrasions.

Burning shopping cart robot
Surely you've seen a shopping cart being pushed by a flame-engulfed pair of staggering robot legs? And of course you hardly noticed as this scene from The Terminator passed by on the street, like the folks in this video. Bonus good soundtrack, too.

Deere me
Slightly more practical is this contraption, walking tractor designed by John Deere subsidiary Plustech Oy in Finland.

Night light graffiti
Nicely done effects in this gallery culled from Flickr. In case you're a DIYer, you'll need a torch, a camera with a long exposure time and nighttime.
