Lazy Links Friday: Iron Man

| |

So to spice things up were going to start another blog section titled Lazy Links Friday. Just about each Friday I (John Barringer) will post something interesting I saw on the Internet today. The name comes from a) it's Friday and b) the links will be random because on Friday's I feel lazy (lol). This will be fun though; I promise!

Just about every morning when I come into work I check superherohype.com, a site that blogs about superhero movies and today the first picture from Iron Man 2 came out! Personelly, I'm a DC guy and thought Iron Man 1 was good but not the greatest thing ever; however, this picture gets me really excited. Look at all those suits in the back! Do I see a Bronze Age Iron Man suit back there (farthest to the right)? Also, where can I get one of those comptuers?

This Iron Man theme got me exploring and I found an article on Popular Science of a real Iron Man suit that is being tested for the military. It's not quite the same but interesting nonetheless. The suit does significantlly increase the the strength of the user and (althought hooked up to this power source thing) has decent moverability. I found a video of it here and you can read the article here. Now I know what I want for christmas!


Hope you enjoyed the first Lazy Links Friday!
