Bob is right: Boston Dynamics’ Big Dog robot is very, very cool (watch the guy try to kick it over), and Big Dog beta is very, very funny.

This video must be going around. The other night, I was at Dan Bricklin’s Tech Tuesday. There was a screen running there with videos of all sorts of technology, which people were not paying direct attention to, but it made for a good background attraction in a go-go dancer sort of way. One of the things I saw out of the corner of my eye was the Big Dog video.
