"Please be aware that there is currently a 'wave' of brand new, made-to-deceive old-looking automatons reaching the international marketplace.  The few different variants of this monkey 'hookah-like' smoker which we've seen are purposely constructed so as to allow no internal inspection..."

Millie the mechanical monster of
Michigan

Millie the mechanical monster of
Michigan 07/07/2004 12:48 PM
Mechanical designer Jim Peters, 54, was disappointed that a certain Scottish celebrity was missing from last year's Saline Celtic Festival in Michigan.

"I was down there at the festival. It was full of bagpipe music and Scottish sights and activities. Viewing the long body of water, one can't help think of the Loch Ness area in Scotland and its famous legend. I asked myself: "Where's the monster?"'

So this year, Peters built a 24-foot-long wood-and-steel mechanical Loch Ness Monster. "Millie" was named for Mill Pond Park, the location of the festival. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any photos of Millie online. Link< /a> (Thanks, Carlo!)

These are modern, gender-bending versions of old-fashioned wind-up toys, but all made of paper and very funny. They include a spanking duo, fucking skeletons, miss and mister masturbation, and a live paper sex act. You can also see animations of the toys in action.

Rescuing the mechanical foundations of

Rescuing the mechanical foundations of
our democracy 04/09/2004 04:01 PM
Berkeley had its own problems with the Diebold machines last election, which the Berkeley Daily Planet has done a good job of covering so it was a very encouraging sign to read in an article in the BDP last night that people (many with Berkeley connections) from The Open Voting Consortium have volunteered their time and energy to trying to solve the problem of creating a better way to vote that is secure, fast and voter verifiable. They plan on demonstrating the system they have developed this Thursday in Santa Clara. My congratulations and thanks to them. Here is an excerpt from the article: Bay Area Programmers Develop Touchscreen Alternative By JAKOB SCHILLER (03-30-04) As touchscreen voting machines continue to draw heat from critics pointing to allegations of security vulnerabilities, one group of computer science experts proposes to have the solution. The Open Voting Consortium (OVC), a nonprofit group with several Bay Area members, recently announced the development of touchscreen voting machine software that uses open source and creates a voter verified paper trail. Recently completed, the software is set to be publicly tested this Thursday, April 1, at the Santa Clara County government offices in San Jose. ... Taking all the complaints and security vulnerabilities into question, the Open Voting Consortium developed a simple approach; maintain the advantages of a touchscreen system but include the security features that alleviate the current security concerns. OVC's system, currently in software form only, can be used on regular desktop PCs hooked up to a touchscreen monitor and a standard printer. Like the touchscreen machines now in use, the OVC unit records the vote electronically. But unlike Diebold's machines, the OVC system also automatically produce a paper receipt, which is intended to be the official tally. To ensure accuracy, the paper count is then reconciled against the electronic one stored on the machines. "Our idea is that the machines should have [a tally] that people can inspect," said Arthur Keller, a computer scientist who teaches part-time at UC Santa Cruz. "You trust the paper and can have much more faith in the process." The group has written open source software that can be checked by anyone for malicious code that might tamper with votes. Like Linux software for PCs, OVC's code isn't proprietary. ... The machines are still several steps away from making it onto the market. They need to be certified and...

Xeni Jardin: Photographer Timothy Archibold's portraits of garage-geek inventors -- and users -- of large-scale sex machines. The aesthetic of the images is not prurient; it's clinical, clean, and removed. That distance lends the images a compelling twist, given the topic at hand. I hatehatehate the site's 1.5MB gorilla Flash interface, which prevents my pasting some of the project notes for you to read here. But the images and the subject matter they detail (online communities that connect people who imagine, build, and use these machines) are fascinating. At left: "Scott at his kitchen table, Sex Machines Unlimited," which made me laugh out loud. Link (NSFW). (Thanks, alfie)

Autopen: mechanical signature storage

Autopen: mechanical signature storage
and reproduction 06/08/2004 12:31 PM
The Autopen is a wicked vintage gadget that lets you store your signature as a series of mechanical cues for a multifariously branched mechanical armature. Gizmodo has a killer post on it, with old pop-sci articles on the forthcoming age of the autopen. Lots of online info revolves around how to tell if your collectable souvenir signature came off an autopen or an original signature.

The most useful one, though, is the Autopen, made by International Autopen Co. of Sterling, VA., a popular device that is apparently still in use (the Republic National Committee bought one just this year). The Autopen is loaded with special metal 'matrix' -- basically a traced pattern of the signature -- that can be used again and again, even if the signer isn't there. Even better, owners of Autopens can purchase signature matrices through the mail from third parties, duplicating any autograph at will. Current models of the Autopen weigh around 100lbs, run off regular power, and can use real pens and pencils (although they work better with Sharpies, due to the fixed width of the pen looking less off when done with marker).
