The Automata Blog is packed full of interesting images, videos and information about all kinds of amazing automata, cool machines, mechanical music, orchestrions and kinetic sculptures. This month's focus is the history of vintage Japanese tin toy robots and the toy robot paintings by Steven Skollar.

House on the rock in Wisconsin has lots of automata.

Yeah, if you ever get a chance to visit House on the Rock, do not pass it up. It's one of the coolest places on Earth.

(Also, I think I know what my girlfriend's son is getting for Christmas.)
