This little dancing robot is as cute as cute can be. I had to post this video of it dancing to music. It was developed by scientist (Hideki Kozima and programmed by Marek Michalowski) as a learning aid for children. The design of Keepon is very simple, just two eyes and a button nose It will certainly be a big hit when it goes onto sale in 2010.

A website designed to promote unknown Victorian Metal/Hardcore/Screamo bands. Offering support, taking photos and spreading the word for chosen bands that reside and play in Melbourne. Mutiny has been operating in Queensland for a while but only recently expanded to Victoria and so is in the early stages of construction. There is also a monthly night held at Vadette nightclub where local bands perform.

In addition to these tenancies, they host three regular markets for independent artists: Sunday Arts @ The Convent, The Makers Market and the Shirts and Skirts Market.

I put this video together to show you how I turned myself into a cartoon. I did this because I noticed some services/websites out there that offer to turn your pictures into a cartoon for a fee / price. So to show you just how easy (or difficult) it can be I recorded myself turning myself (and partner) into a cartoon.

Its particular strength is its market listings, but it also covers festivals, music, exhibitions, theatre and more.
