Added 1 new A* page:NASA's been showing off their new "X1" exoskeleton, which they say could be useful for helping those with disabilities to walk, as well as potentially helping astronauts in heavy tasks and long-term space missions. Currently the exoskeleton is just for the legs. There's a video of it in action here, and here are a couple members of the NASA engineering team modelling it:

If the gold color of the metal parts looks familiar, that's because it was developed from Robonaut technology! Still waiting for that thing to go all rampage on the International Space Station.

Oh goodness, I need some kind of automatic ink spattering machine. My black ink is thinner than my white ink which made spattering it all over the background take a long time. A long messy time
Broke three nibs in the process, too! Still though it is kind of a way to get a Zip-A-Tone-like effect--and one with a lot more flexibility--while keeping it all in the original single piece of paper and one type of ink, which is handy. Hm. Well maybe if I do this again I'll give the ol' toothbrush method a try, that might be faster.
