Urrrgh. This doesn't appeal to me at all. It all just seems so brutally applied, not like the functional clockwork cybernetics its supposed to represent.
Yes we do. Well, some of us. It got stapled to our foreheads recently (i.e., made part of the Whitechapel toolbar, which perhaps more folks should utilize? ) and I saw this there first. Creepy both times, although I too found the windup alligator to be the best piece.
I think these images actually come closest to what I picture when I read about the synthetic animals in PKD's Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep. Very nice.
@Warren: Aw, crap, I'm sorry. I *did* read your site every day before I came to Japan! Hell, it was home page. But I just recently got comfortable enough to start reading things like this at work again.
At any rate, I was surprised it wasn't covered here, and now I know why.
