When governments care about your children’s well being…
Most governments tend to like to mess with the younglings’ minds and up-bringing. Like when they want to teach them alternate scientific theories. Or, when they introduce a curfew for minors playing computer games in order to curb addiction. Seriously.
(Or, when they imply that minority/alternative voices on blogs could be jailed for providing an insider view on things like riots.)

Your dream robot companion…
… or many of them, can be found at the Roboexotica cocktail robotics conference in Vienna next week. Thanks to BoingBoing for providing me with such wonderfully random yet useful information. More details there.

And: awesome photographs of Hong Kong — an exhibition called Architecture of Density, by Michael Wolf, a German - American artist.
