I eagerly await Disney’s newest animated feature called Wall-E , due for release on June 27. This is a tale of a maintenance robot left to fend for himself for 500 years after a mass human evacuation of Earth. And then the aliens come… what could possibly be more fun? Read more

Robot in the Woods specifically endorses the Chumby as an effective means of communication and distribution of user-generated and micropublished content. It can play your podcasts, internet radio stations, YouTube content, flickr streams, blog posts, and all as easy to use as an alarm clock. A wonderful design for a great content aggregator!!!

Robot in the Woods would like to publish its short Robot Fiction and other content using a Chumby widget (coming soon). So what does it look like? Go to their website and check out the product.

A few questions I would ask the makers:

1. How would I upload Robot in the Woods content onto the widgets?

2. Can it important the opml or xml files I generate from my current RSS aggregator?

3. How does it interact with the RSS feeds generated using Yahoo Pipes or other tailored search that generates niche content?

4. Does it interact with Facebook/Social Networking widgets? For example, can I play Scrabulous on my Chumby?

I was just checking out Animoto, a new web-service that edits your pictures into a video and synchs them to music. Fantastic service! Check out these two videos about robots.
