Land Walker Homebrew Mecha.  [TransportTrends via MotherDigital via Gizmodo 4/5/2005; 12:53:37 PM] Calling this mecha the 'Land Walker' might be a bit generous—it's more like the 'Land Shuffler.' Nevertheless, it's a heck of a project, apparently mostly the work of one man. Too bad the guns are just for show. On the upside, there's a video, which makes it look a lot less photoshopped than in these pictures. More Information. [Sakakibara Kikai via Slashdot Japan]  
 
Quirks and Quarks as MP3s. [Boing Boing 4/5/2005; 3:53:39 PM] Cory Doctorow: Every Saturday morning for as long as I can remember, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has aired a brilliant science show called Quirks and Quarks, currently hosted by the erudite and fascinating Bob McDonald. Listening to these shows growing up is partially what's responsible for my interest in technology and science today. Since moving away from Canada, I've really missed my Quirks and Quarks -- so imagine my delight at discovering that the CBC is now making every episode available as a downloading MP3s. There is also a Podcast feed.
