Real World Iron Man

I know I mentioned to some people (Splash, Trout, and Besyd in particular) at D*C that I had an article from Popular Science about real technologies very close to doing what Iron Man can. I believe I also promised either scanning them or copying them into PDF form.

Before I did that, however, I decided to be clever:

Building the Real Iron Man from the May 2008 issue of Popular Science. Same article, but in their web archives. It's on Raytheon's XOS exoskeleton suit, and it's obviously nowhere near Tony Stark's suit, but hey, we're getting there.

Yay yay yay! Brilliant work.

Isn't it awesome? I love being an engineer!

(Unless you mean me having a moment of cleverness and checking the Popular Science archives. :P )

I did mean you! I'll have to read the article later, because I am at work right now.

Hee. I'm occasionally allowed to be clever!
