Fasten your seatbelts: Ben Brodie may soon realize that resistance is, indeed, futile, and that he, like so many others before him, must blog.

Yes, Ben Brodie, co-creator of the robot known as Clarice; challenger of JacORB; and champion monopaddle hydrolocomotor is pondering the potential of parterning with -273 and beginning his blog.

Years hence, when blogologists speak of the epoch BBBB (Before Ben Brodie Blogged), we will recall those dark, dismal days when we had only the rantings of rising tennis stars, football oracles , and professors who can't publish elsewhere to entertain us.

And if you haven't done so already, take a look at Ben's web page for a preview of what might be in store. Remember where you read about this first....
