| IN A WEEK-ENDER LONG, LONG AGO WE SALUTED EGEE MABOLIS, THE "HARDEST WORKING MAN IN SILVER LAKE", WHO DOES A DAMN FINE JOB CONTROLLING TRAFFIC OUTSIDE OUR LOCAL TRADER JOES. WE ARE SRSLY SADDENED TO REPORT THAT HE FELL VICTIM TO A FREAK BIKE ACCIDENT THAT RESULTED IN A BROKEN NECK AND NEAR PARALYSIS - NOOOOO! AFTER SPINAL SURGERY AND LOTS OF (FUTURE) P.T. APPTS. (U CAN DONATE TO HIS GOFUND ME BELOW) HE WILL (1 DAY) BE GOOD TO GO, THANK GOD! IN RELATED NEWS, WIRED'S CYBORG NATION COLUMN RAN AN INTERESTING FEATURE ON NEUROENGINEER MIGUEL NICOLEISIS' MIND-CONTROLLED ROBOT SUIT (YA, YOU READ THAT RIGHT). THE MIND BLOWING MECHANISM TRANSLATES ELECTRICAL SIGNALS FROM A PARALYZED PERSON'S BRAIN INTO AN EXOSKELETON THAT CONTROLS THEIR MOVEMENT - WOAH! THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME WE'VE SEEN IT (KICKOFF OF THE 2014 WORLD CUP, REMEMBER THAT?) , BUT FRANKLY MIND CONTROL'S BEEN ON THE MIND LATELY (...KILGRAVE?... JESSICA JONES?... ANYONE? SRY, WE'RE GUILTY OF BINGE WATCHING) AND WITH EGEE'S NEAR PARAPLEGIC EXPERIENCE, AND KYLIE J. STIRRING THE #ABLEISM DISCUSSION IT'S AS GOOD A TIME AS ANY TO CHECK IT OUT. WANNA SEE A MONKEY USE A MIND CONTROLLED EXOSKELETON TO MOVE ACROSS THE ROOM? OF COURSE YOU DO! PEEP THE CYBORG VID BELOW. CYBORG NATION // ALL ABOUT EGEE <-- DONATE! |  |
