It's the first day of teaching this #AI class for 60 undergrads, so I whipped up a "#robots causing chaos" dress and paired it with a #crochet hexagon cardigan (crochet being a craft that hasn't been successfully mechanized). Spun all the wool for the cardigan myself too. 😊 #DHsewing

For the most part, the Internet Archive limits its scraping to websites that permit it. The #RobotsExclusionProtocol (AKA #robots.txt) makes it easy for webmasters to tell different kinds of crawlers whether or not they are welcome. If your site has a robots.txt file that tells the Archive's crawler to buzz off, it'll go elsewhere.

Mostly.

File in the #robots are out to get ya or #cominglaborapocalypse file... Well, I nearly got run over by this thing. Literally, I heard something that sounded like a icebox rattling and then I saw a thing to my left rolling up really quickly with lights at the bottom, and I had no idea what was there. I had no previous context to figure out what it was. I moved a little closer, and it did too, and it stopped just before my ankles. I wasn't startled enough to shriek but I will admit to being nonplussed. I swiftly crossed the street and turned around to make sure of what I've seen. This first encounter was definitely freaky.

Lots of #PowerRangers Zords
A few #Gundam figures
1 #Transformers figure.

I love Mecha and Robots and that's one of the things that I focus on collecting a lot of at times.

Got lucky this month getting a few of the Power Rangers Zords in Lots and the Red Super Zeo Zord was a freebie from the seller I got the Vector Prime figure and the Yellow Ninja Bear Zord from.


The Zenith Carrier Zord, Lost Galaxy Megazord Action Figure, Shadow Winger Megazord, and Toro Megazord were all in lots that were picked up this month cheap.

Got the Thunder Zords and the Incomplete Shogun Zord in a lot at a great deal and the Red Thunder Dragon Zord was cheap since it was incomplete and I already had the part for it.

The Zeo Megazord was a nice pickup for $25 found the Helmet for it cheap.

The Most expensive piece of this was the Pyramidas got that for $50 

The Gundam Universe Aerial Gundam a new release was picked up off Amazon along with getting the Robot Spirits Duel Gundam. 

The GP-02 Deluxe Transforming Figure was another pickup off ebay this month.

Still have a few more items on the way then the month's collecting will be done.

✨ New paper in Information, Communication & Society: Multi-site domestication: taming technologies across multiple institutional settings ✨

The article proposes the concept of multi-site domestication to capture how technologies can require different "taming" processes when used across institutional settings with different and at times opposing norms, rules, values, and logics.

#STS #MediaStudies #commodon #domestication #DomesticationTheory #Robots

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/1369118X.2023.2255644

Abstract: This article advances domestication theory by developing the concept of multi-site domestication. Whereas domestication theory traditionally focuses on the ‘taming’ of technologies at a single site (most often, the household), the concept of multi-site domestication captures how technologies often require different taming processes across multiple institutional settings. In this article, we apply the concept to understand the multi-site domestication of AV1: a communication solution for children who are homebound because of chronic illness or disabilities, which creates a communicative bridge from an app on the homebound student’s phone/tablet and to a ‘telepresence robot’ that is placed physically in the classroom, where it is meant to function as the homebound student’s proxy. Using data from a larger qualitative study of the implementation of AV1 in Norway, the article shows how the ‘traditional’ domestication processes of appropriation, objectification, incorporation, and conversion play out and are complicated when domestication occurs across settings with different and at times opposing norms, rules, values, and logics. In charting these multi-site dynamics, the article updates domestication theory for an age of increasingly intertwined technologies, thus helping future studies to look beyond single sites and appreciate more complex taming processes.

Any love for #BattleBots on Masto? Here is a glamor shot of my three pound robot "Snaggletooth", a wedge with a lifting arm made to look like a crocodile. All robots must have a power indication light for safety reasons so on this robot Snaggletooth's eyes light up red. Snaggletooth has one title to its name, a win in Beaumont, TX in 2020 where it claimed first place!

Snaggletooth was a big hit with the audience who loved the colorful theming. There was a kiddo in the crowd who was celebrating his birthday that day so I affixed one of Snaggletooth's battle damaged decorative teeth to a little metal plaque and signed it for him. :)
