Fifty million years ago, this bedrock was connected to Antarctica—and now it holds a workbench, holds me thinking about what forests and glaciers and ancient things stood exactly where I'm sitting, before the continents decided to drift apart.

                      Today in Labor History February 11, 1938: BBC Television produced the world's first ever science fiction television program, an adaptation of a section of the Karel Čapek play R.U.R. Čapek coined the term "robot,” deriving it from the Czech word for forced labor by Serfs. R.U.R. is an archetype for many of the science fiction stories and films that followed, like Bladerunner, West World and Terminator, and others about robots, replicants and hosts that rebel against humans. However, “R.U.R.,” like Čapek’s 1936 novel “War with the Newts,” is also a satirical critique of totalitarianism, which was on the rise in Europe at the time he wrote the play.

                          ok, I think this one came out quite well, I'll do a - little - video on mastadon, I think its worth the space. So, its got programmed waypoint lists for forward/reverse/left/right/stop that it interpolates the points of. The led indicates a joystick position update, the joystick sends out regular updates even with no signal changes that act as a dead-man detector to stop the robot if you lose signal.

He was an internationally renowned Czech novelist, short-story writer, playwright and essayist.

                                    Lately I've been wanting to draw some of my old and standalone OCs, or OCs from stories I've abandoned but still feel some connection to.
                                    This guy is Kaldas, he's one of my few characters that doesn't have a story attached to him. Kind of. He was meant to be a kind of companion character to Nix and a secondary mascot for my disability writing advice blog/website/youtube page. He was going to be a kind of librarian-type character (hence the books in the background), but the idea just never came together and I never seemed to be able to pin down a design I liked for him anyway.
                                    Ironically, I think I finally have settled on a look I like for him though! maybe I'll draw him more going forward, I guess we'll see.
