    museumpeace writes "CNET has an article about a robotic exoskeleton ginned up by tinkerer from Alaska There are a few cool pictures. The audacity of Mr. Owens project, if you believe the article, compares to the efforts of the old Home Brew Computer Club when compared to the work of GE or Toyota. Inspiration here comes more from sci-fi and video games than from industrial competition. The article is a good roundup of MECHA related developments, some of which sprang from DARPA money, so I am glad at least a few of my tax dollars are having some real geek fun."

The interview focuses on the provisions of his two congressional bills (warts and all) and on his motivations for fighting spam." Politics on all other issues aside, I think Green has a position on spam that equals or tops nearly any I've seen from a politician.
