Arguably, The Empire Strikes Back upped every characters ante, but none quite so much as the prissy protocol droid. That fact, coupled with a cool backpack and nifty ‘action’ feature made the vintage C-3PO (Removable limbs) action figure a sought after toy. Not only that, but retaining the vac-metal finish of the character’s original figure, today’s addition to the Vintage Photo Archive was really given a stage to show his quality; and it was golden.

Xeni on NPR: Computer limbs help triple
amputee run again 06/15/2004 01:26 PM
Today on the National Public Radio program "Day to Day," I speak with Cameron Clapp. In September 2001, he lost both legs and his right arm in a train accident.

Supported by his large extended family -- and his identical twin brother Jesse -- Cameron fought against his disability to make an astounding recovery. Not only can the young man swim, run, drive a car, and even play golf again, he recently won four gold medals at the En deavor Games, a sports competition for amputees. He can do this in part because of advanced prosthetic limb technology called the "C-Leg ," short for "computer leg." The device (which Cameron demonstrated at Wired Magazine's NextFest) includes many tiny sensors controlled by a computer chip, and provides much greater mobility and control than conventional hydraulic limbs.
Link to archived audio (after 12PM PT), a photo gallery, and more on both Cameron and the high-tech prosthetics he uses.

Mark Frauenfelder: Photographer Elena Dorfman has a new book out called Still Lovers with pictures of those creepy Real Doll sex toys in quotidian situations.

For many, the idea of the sex doll conjures images of the kitschy inflatable, but these expensive, highly realistic dolls, which owners customize down to the smallest detail, are far from silly, and they perform more than a sexual role for thier owners.For many, the idea of the sex doll conjures images of the kitschy inflatable, but these expensive, highly realistic dolls, which owners customize down to the smallest detail, are far from silly, and they perform more than a sexual role for thier owners.

Talking Love Doll

Talking Love Doll 07/28/2004 04:40 PM
Back it up, RealD oll, this new pornorealist product plans to kick your 36"-24"-36" synthetic ass. Formed in the image of Playmate Linn Thomas, the "Talking Love Doll" promises to do what none before have: talk back atcha. "Almost seamless, life-like feeling skin, mannequin hands, feet and head with long flowing hair, large breasts and jointed arms with orbital sockets, multi-speed, Batteries included," says the website, along with claims that the "Wireless, Vibrating" Ms. Thomas is molded from all-new "Futurotic Material." You say Futurotic, I say vinyl. Whatever.

One thing is certain: IANALDU (I am not a love doll user), but even more tempting than the off-the-shelf model would be a haxxored version. She could speak everything from Shakespeare to software user manuals, for the man with the right set of tools. And, no, I actually mean tools. Dollmodding, anyone?

CNN reports that Arnold Schwarzenegger is threatening to sue Bosley Bobbers seeking to stop production of a charity bob blehead doll. The doll shows the former action-actor turned Governor of California posing in a business suit, ammo belt and assault rifle. Arnold is arguing that he owns the marketing rights to his likeness. The creators argue that he lost those rights when he became a political figure. However, this seems to be a repeat of Hustler v. Falwell. And courts lately have been skeptical of trademark rights trumping satire. On the other hand, there seems to be a fine line between editorial use and commercial exploitation.

Xeni Jardin: A life-sized sex doll caused a bomb alert in a German post office when it began vibrating inside a package:

"Workers were unsettled when it began vibrating and made strange noises," a spokesman for police in the eastern city of Chemnitz said. "They were worried the package might be a bomb." Officers brought the sender to the scene and discovered the source of alarm was an electrical device inside a life-size female sex doll. The man told police he had wanted to return the doll because it kept turning itself on at the wrong moment.

Artists uses mouth to make chewing gum
sculptures 07/26/2004 03:50 PM
World of Wonder has a video clip of a man who makes little animals sculptures out of chewing gum, using his mouth to mold them.

"He prefers to work with gum that is past the expiration date. It takes him about three hours of chewing to get a piece of gum the right consistency for art. Once he's done that, it takes him only 30 second to make a turtle, 20 seconds for a pig, and over a minute for something complicated like a UFO. Unless he's out and about handing the sculptures to unsuspecting kids, he submerges the tiny artifacts in water to harden them. When he's really on his game he can do as many as 20 an hour."
