There are 19 days until Halloween and the days will only get colder from here.

There are 21 days left until Halloween and today I’m thinking that scarecrows really are a scream.
Today I thought we’d listen to a cool song and watch robots dance to it because robots freak some people out and being that we’re yet another day closer to Halloween I thought this would be a perfect Halloween Treat:
This next clip shows you how Boston Dynamics got to where they are now. Just as a side note, I really hated it when in the testing they kicked at the robots, probably because the robots they were designing reminded me of dogs and horses- so not cool.
There was also a robot that opened a door on it’s own and according to the note that freaked people out- not kicking the robots. People have messed up priorities.
So in closing, I will add that I cannot wait to see robots dance on Mars.
It’s going to happen you know.
Anyway that’s what I’m hoping for.
