Daily One Inch Button - Gakutensoku

He was indeed a handsome robot. In some ways he was probably a strong inspiration for the creation of this Hello Kitty loving robot. Somehow, despite the fact that he was a fairly large robot (created in 1928) he managed to get misplaced in Germany in the early 1930s while on tour. (Has anyone seen him? I'm sure they'd love to get him back...)

A replica was created in 2008 with, well, a few enhancements. They couldn't help but make the enhancements based on the fact that robot technology has gotten considerably better in the last eighty years. I'm imagine the creator of the original would be quite happy with the new version.

Daily One Inch Button - Vampire Bear Puddle

It was a rainy day. As such, our darling little Vampire Bear was just casually walking home from the grocery store - no need to emit that C02, right? He thought he'd take a little short-cut home and look at what he found. It's a giant puddle right in the middle of the dirt road. What is he to do? The good news is that when he saw the puddle, he immediately thought of the Hebrew letter Peh - or Pay depending on how you want to transliterate it.

That's funny, because Vampire Bear has an excellent lesson on the letter Peh in his series, Learn to Read Hebrew with Vampire Bear.

Daily One Inch Button - Global Warming Bear

Wow.

Just look at that bear. It looks like a bear that is suffering as a result of global warming - a global warming bear.

Is it a matter of the white house versus the white bear? I think that now that we will have President Obama in office, things will start looking a lot better for our friend the polar bear.

Aren't you glad you voted for him?

Daily One Inch Button - Vampire Bear Timbeeeeeeeear

Timbeeeeeear! Vampire Bear cuts down only in an environmentally friendly manner, of course. He does need wood once in awhile for various farming needs, and what better way to get it than from your own sustainable growth selection?

Vampire Bear also loves cutting down the occasional tree because it reminds him of the Hebrew letter Tet, which has a nice solid T sound to it. He has a nice course going on, Learn How To Read Hebrew with Vampire Bear. If you want to learn how to read Hebrew, that is the place I think you should go. He might just set you up with a nice hand carved item out of appreciation!

Daily One Inch Button - Acoustic Kitty

This cat looks like he's a bit more confident and put together than the real original acoustic kitty, who was supposed to help the United States government spy on people suspected of dangerous activity. Does that sound like the atmosphere today? This took place in the early 1960s and resulted in one cat that got run over by a taxi cab.

If you're a music fan you can get into a band named after the acoustic kitty and an entire album named after the acoustic kitty. Here's a song from that album.
