Bout time

Bout time.  I found this on the net tonight and all I can say is.. its about time.  This along with RFID and bluetooth and yadda dadda is the next wave in advertising.  I cant wait really.. the dawn of the age of displays I used to think only existed in japanese animation is upon us. 

Human Locator!  Maybe I need to sic Bob and Troy on this kinda concept next.  It would be good to have some kind of solution like this. 

Today while sitting at a lonnnnng super dang lonnnnng stop light I gazed over at a new BMW 745 L, a beautiful car.  It was right next to an Audi 4.2L A8.  I have to say I liked the styling of the 745 a bit better but overall I didnt really go for the new look BMW did this year.  It reminded me of an animation i've been watching.  Turn A Gundam.  A mecha series that has been going on for ages in Japan.  Every 2 years or so a new studio takes a stab at reinventing the Gundam license.  Alternate universes, new character directions, and always, wildly interesting mecha designs.  Its yer basic robot show.  You cant go wrong with Gundam, its always good.  Sure a little campy at times but if you like mecha, robot fighting, beam weapon glory with characters that just have to keep fighting for the good of man, well its yer show.  Its also great for the villians, the bad guys that wanted to do good and the best way they think they can do it is by dropping an asteriod on Earth.. teach those Earthlings REAL pain! 

Anyways in Turn A Gundam, the mecha designs strayed soooo far off the beaten japanese path of design, in fact they landed in the hands of Syd Mead of Blade Runner fame.  That look on japanese animation is just... well different.  Kinda like the new BMW look.  I didnt like it at first.  But its growin on me.
