Dam-Funk Digs Into His Crates To Pull Off A ‘Boiler Room’ Party Mix (Video)
Funk, boogie, breaks… LPs and 45s… Dam-Funk is taking us on a near hour-and-a-half musical genre journey. With very little intro (by a cute little slimmie), we get right into the needle-dropping. What is pretty much an intimate listening party doesn’t stop until the end; only pausing for commentary or spontaneous crooning. Check out the video above. Nice!
Science: MIT Demonstrates How ‘Squishy Robots’ Could Be Made (Video)
So… shape-shifting robots. You’re thinking Transformers, right. Okay, okay. Good start. But that’s just a start. We’re being led by what we see on the box (TV, movie screen). Let’s let the folks over at MIT take the lead for a sec; get us thinking outside the box.
Imagine a robot that could flex smoothly at the joints, or could flex its entire body (chassis, or whatever). What kinds of environments and situations could such a robot get in and out of. We’ve posted on all kinds of robot prototypes… real and sci-fi; even snake-formed. But they were mostly rigid, clunky; not nearly as flexible as organic life.
But what if we could do that? What if MIT showed you some coolness that could be a HUGE first step toward making strong super-flexible robots! Click play above. Plenty of room outside the box!

Alicia Keys Gets That Azz Waxed (Video)
I can only imagine what the male employees did to Alicia Keys’ wax replica of herself at the Madame Tussauds museum in New York City before the official unveiling.

The super beautiful Alicia Keys, who just so happens to be married to & has a new child with Swizz Beatz, unveiled her new wax likeness & also celebrated the 10 year anniversary of her debut album Songs In A Minor. Yeah..just like Virginia Slims…..you’ve come a long way baby. More photos after the jump….
