I kinda wanna upgrade my blog to WordPress just to get their tagging feature, so I can have a cybernetics tag.

The latest: DARPA's latest challenge is to insert a chip into a winged insect and control it.

I love this bit:

Darpa's previous experiments to get bees and wasps to detect the smell of explosives foundered when their "instinctive behaviours for feeding and mating... prevented them from performing reliably", it said.

If only those same instincts were enough prevent people from having wars!
