Like robots? Here’s a blog you’ll love.
The creators of OhGizmo! (the niche, gadget / technology / weird things blog) have spun off a blog devoted entirely to robots. Not only is robotic technology ever-innovating, more and more people have come to develop a humanoid soft spot for our cybernetic friends (just do an Etsy search for Robot and look what pops up), so the OhGizmo! people definitely have their finger on the pulse.
It’s appropriately titled “BotJunkie,” and features the tagline:
BotJunkie obsessively chronicles Man’s inevitable descent into cybernetic slavery.
One robot at a time.
While it focuses mainly on small, consumer-oriented robots like the evil Hello Kitty Robot, I-Sobot (shown), and Spyke, there are some pop culture robot references, like “The top 50 movie robots”. No word yet on if they’ll cover military / industrial use robots, or go ga-ga over the adorable Pleo, but the blog is super new so it remains to be seen.

Hi Liz. David from OhGizmo/BotJunkie here. Just wanted to thank you for covering our launch. And yes, we do plan to cover industrial/medical/military bots as well as nascent technology that could eventually be applied to the field. Anything related to robots that we happen to find interesting.
So, thanks again. :)
