I made the short film below this weekend using the movie feature on my Fuji FinePix S5200 camera.
I found this cute video on Vimeo.
I have heard rumors for years about an engine that runs on water. The following video may be proof that the technology really does exist.
I have posted more photos on my blogger site, Rockin' Sake Robot's Photo Gallery, including the one below:
I have decided to keep my Vox account the way that it is for now. I have begun posting my photographs at my Blogger account. That account will just have photos on it for now. You can check them out at: Rockin' Sake Robot's Photo Gallery

There seems to be a lot of debate about whether or not eating dairy is good for you. The trend has been to eat reduced fat dairy foods. However, excerpts from the 3 articles that I have posted below indicate that heredity rather than fat may be the actual villian. Irvine Robbins supposedly ate three to four scoops of ice cream a day and died of natural causes (old age) at 90. His partner, Baskin, died of heart disease over 40 years ago. Were they both swimming in the same genetic pool? It is highly doubtful.
In a 1976 interview in The New York Times, in which he said he ate three or four scoops a day, Mr. Robbins said that Americans had become adventurous in their ice cream choices. “They’re not embarrassed to ask for some of these wild flavors,” he said. “I think we’ve had a little bit to do with making it more acceptable.” New York Times
Family members said Baskin-Robbins is the nation's oldest food franchise. Part of Dunkin' Brands Inc., it has more than 5,800 stores worldwide, according to The Associated Press.
Robbins sold the company to United Fruit Co. in 1967 -- the same year Baskin died of heart disease -- but remained as president until 1978. Seattle Post Intelligencer
With his wife, Irma, whom he married in 1942, he raised three children. As an adult, his son John rejected the family business and wrote "Diet for a New America," a 1987 book critical of the meat and dairy industries.
