Robot Maker Mark Tilden: All Life is Analog

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the and-wriggles dept.

simpl3x points to this New York Times article on master robotsmith Mark Tilden, writing: "It is interesting what makes a good toy." My favorite line is Tilden saying "I want to sell millions of toys, but what I really hope is that a bunch of kids who open them up use the motors and things to build something else ... They are my colleagues of the future."

    I say, deliver me from the lame comments.
    I say, if you start a thread, start it with something interesting.
    If you post any kind of comment, douse the flames first. Contrary to what you may believe, you are NOT the bug exterminator.
    I say, down with all anonymous cowards.
    I say, deliver me from Swedish furniture.
    I say, deliver me from clear skin and white teeth.
    I say, never deliver me from the addiction that is irc.
    This is your life. Slashdot is your life.
    This is not your grande lante (sp).

    Mark Tilden is notorious for his bouts of drinking. I was at a lecture where he was visibly intoxicated and I cringed everytime he slurred a bit.

    I'm not saying that people shouldn't drink but to do so when working is indicative of problems. I had a boyfriend with a drinking problem and it's not pretty.
