There's video (realplayer) of the android in action here. She looks exactly like a real person (at least she does in the still pictures). It's actually kind of creepy.

Rappin' Android

Apparantly, this android, due to make her debut at the Aichi World Expo in Japan this year, in addition to knowing 40,000 phrases each in four languages and how to perform 2000 facial expressions, also knows how to rap.

I have to go to this thing.

"Oh Bauer"

This music video, to a tune called "Oh Bauer" ("Oh Farmer") by Jeans Team, was directed by Lars, who used to work at the MMLC with me. It's a cool idea and a pretty good song. Enjoy.
