Make a Cylon contest

These entries are bound to be cool:
"MAKE A CYLON" CONTEST
The Cylons were created by the people of the Twelve Colonies. Intelligent robots, they were used as slaves and soldiers to fight humanity's wars. But the Cylons became sentient and they rebelled. Man and machine fought to a bloody stalemate, then the Cylons withdrew to a remote region of space. A truce between the Twelve Colonies and the Cylons lasted for 40 tense and silent years. Then, on the 40th anniversary, a stunning blonde — a Cylon in human form — met the human envoy… moments before the Cylons vaporized the station and launched a genocidal attack on the Twelve Colonies.

Now DVICE, SCIFI.COM and MAKE are giving you the opportunity to create (or recreate) the Cylons for fun, a chance to win prizes, and the possibility of seeing your creation on the SCI FI Channel.

HOW TO ENTER
"Make" a Cylon: Use whatever you like: blinking lights for eyes, metal armor as a costume, toasters… anything to show the world that you're a Cylon maker. The only caveat is that it has to be something physical (no Photoshop/art entries). Your Cylon can be of the humanoid or robotic variety, real or abstract, or anything else you can think of. We'll also accept entries for creations in the general Battlestar universe (ships, devices, etc.), although our preference is for Cylons.

Read the rest. Via.

Britney Spears has become an Idoru

Since the real Britney's umm, been rendered unavailable, an animated avatar stars in her new video. (Which is really boring. I'd embed it, but Youtube keeps taking down the video.) If the Gorillaz could do it, why can't Idoru Britney go on tour?



Idoru at Wikipedia.

It's in the lower left of this high-res image of the Mars Explorer Spirit.




Creepy-looking rock, right? Although, I've never seen a rock on Earth with an arm... Via.
