Transman Mapping and BigDog

Today is hectic and I only have time to post a total of two spiffy things!

First, Gender Outlaw started up a site called The Transman Mapping Project

The idea is simple: just add your name or alias (it can be anonymous) and a marker to the map so that we can create a bird’s eye view of how transmen are spread out around the world.

If you’ve ever had that feeling of being alone in your transition, a quick look at the map will show you otherwise. We really are everywhere! -Gender Outlaw
Second and not at all related to this blog, my friend sent me a link to the neatest thing since vegan marshmallows earlier today - an article about this amazing quadruped robot called "BigDog". Watching it move around in the video is super surreal. Neat.

  1. Didn't realize that normal marshmallows aren't vegan. Glad you found a viable alternative.

  2. My brain keeps telling me that the big dog is just two skinny people facing each other and walking around. It has a hard time with the fact that it's a robot! But I love the part where its walking on ice!

  3. Kammorremae: "Normal" marshmallows are made out of gelatin:

    "Gelatin (from French gélatine) is a translucent, colorless, brittle, nearly tasteless solid substance, derived from the collagen inside animals' skin and bones."

    Most definitely NOT vegan. ;]

  4. Kegg: I know! It's hard for my brain to process, too. And, of course, I can't help imagine what robots of the future are going to look like. It's bewildering.
