Italo Svevo came up with the "15 minutes of fame" remark in la coscienza di zeno, published 1923.

I saw your page when you advertised it here, and I thought "That's the kind of crap they post on slashdot". It does remind me of what a bunch of Russian scientists pieced together to explore under the core containment area at Chernobyl: an off-the-shelf tank with camera and lights slapped on it.

Anyway, congrats and good luck explaining this to your ISP

Didn't Geraldo or one of those guys use an M1 tank to investigate a pyramid?  Maybe it was just some other kind of robot.  :D

I find it remarkable that not only have you built your own mech warrior costume, but you have also created a manual for creating your own star ship simulator.
