As you know I love Robots.

It’s an honor being in Japan and thinking about robots. Last year I made it to the Honda Collection Hall to witness as demonstration of ASIMO. Today I walked up simply to say hi to him. I grabbed this shot. Does anything get any cooler that ASIMO?

It’s something I love about Japan. It has helped fuel my own collection of robots. Here are 3 I bought for my son. My home office has been overtaken by collection of robots.

The work of Isaac Asimov. The many robot movies. My friends at Museum of Robots. And not to mention, RobotoWear – a clothing line conceived 3 years ago and started selling products this past Monday.

So I’m in Japan thinking about robots, wearing RobotoWear, visiting ASIMO and thinking of the next gift I can buy my son (or me really). Hell, I might even watch some R2D2 action. “These aren’t the droids you’re looking for.”

This post has a cool title and it’s a cool read. But first let me provide a little context. I joined Twitter back in 2008. I did it right before attending SXSW because I didn’t want to be a loser. I was and didn’t use it. As Twitter gained more momentum, I drifted back and began to use, mainly so I would understand it. In my line of work, I better understand the latest Friendster/MySpace/Facebook/Twitter/foursquare/???. I rejoined and looked for Twitter friends based on my interests. Robots, Formula One racing, Design, Travel, Museums and so on. In a weird twist of fate, I found the Museum of Robots. They represented a huge interest of mine and I couldn’t believe it. A healthy obsession began.
