Note: This site is currently "Under construction". I'm migrating to a new version of my site building software. Lots of things are in a state of disrepair as a result (for example, footnote links aren't working). It's all part of the process of building in public. Most things should still be readable though.

Using Google to Find Thing You Cant Remember

Justin sent me a link today about the announcement of the new [Lego Mindstorms NXT][lego].

That's right, soon you too will be able to build your own wirelessly controlled lego robot.

I was trying to remember the name of an 80s movie where little robots went around killing people and causing general havoc. Couldn't remember the name of it, but I remembered there were spider like robots and some type of heat seeking bullets in it. Turning to google, I just typed in "robot spider movie heat seaking bullet". The first link from the results, had the name I was looking for: [Runaway][runaway]

The Internet is cool.
