Things I happened to stumble upon while surfing aimlessly

Two years ago my partner Joe and I were visiting Mumbai. Raju Hirve took us to the hanging garden at Malabar hill. This same kid was selling the peacock feather fans there. We were not interested in buying anything. He started talking to Joe and even though Joe was saying no, he kept at it with various arguments. He also did his sales pitch in different languages. He kept referring to the fan as “Indian air conditioner”. Joe was so impressed by his enthusiasm and talent that he bought one fan.  I am amazed to see it on Youtube now.

A robot that flies like a bird - Plenty of robots can fly — but none can fly like a real bird. That is, until Markus Fischer and his team at Festo built SmartBird, a large, lightweight robot, modeled on a seagull, that flies by flapping its wings. A soaring demo fresh from TEDGlobal 2011.
