It won the technology video compo at the Alternative Party 2008. This 1 min 8 sec long video can be watched on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D1alD5XwPE8U or you can watch it as a GIF animation: http://www.fiikus.net/asciiart/evolution.gif (which is the same thing but without the rather nice soundtrack). Here are some frames from the video: __________________ .' .' __. .__ /"|__|_________________ |__| ' |__|_________...._____|__|=3D=3D] / ` `._ _.' ' \ . `.

I would have made the video more "lively" had I had more time - e.g. the Aibo was supposed to be animated. -- = %. _ /) That's why I didn't kill myself sooner, the pressure `%-('`._/ ) _ of spelling mistakes. -"5 Suicide Notes" by Saracen Tate `\ \ `'/ Maija Haavisto * DiamonDie@IRCnet * http://www.fiikus.ne= t `.___.'mh My CFS/ME/FM book: http://www.brokenmarionettebook.com
