Night at the Media Lab
Finally, vindication.. and it couldn't have come sooner. Lately the nightmares have been more frequent and vivid. No one believed my account of that late night of coding in 2003, the Night at the Media Lab (sound thunder and creepy music) when all the robots and props came to life running amok at the MIT lab. It started a normal evening, the building emptied of faculty and graduate students at sundown leaving a handful of us undergraduates slaving away coding in C. All sense of normalcy began to fade when I heard strange sounds coming from the Personal Robotics Group space. I tip-toed towards Professor Breazeal's lab, avoiding any illumination from the 21" LCD monitors that were too busy churning out simulation data to notice the disturbance. I finally found an observation post by the drinking fountain. I lay there hidden, my senses highly attuned and my blood awash with adrenaline. I spotted them.. there they were, the Tangible Bits Group's PlayPals rewiring Leonardo's artificial brain! Poor Leornado - brainwashed, he unknowingly used the OLPC to edit Wikipedia and planted evidence falsely blaming the CIA for the heinous crime. The horrors..
This video is proof.. proof that that night was real.
