This Exists... Because of A Lady
Watch Stephen Colbert and Missy Cummings Play With Small Flying Robots
by Alanna Bennett | 5:42 pm, July 28th
Missy Cummings, one of the Navy’s first female fighter pilots and current Associate Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics Director at MIT, who designs semi-autonomous flying surveillance drones, appear on The Colbert Report last night. Cummings is trying to make technology easier for humans to use, designing smart-phone operated drones–that Colbert then proceeds to test out.
“How do I know that this flying little robot here is R2D2 and not the HAL 9000″ “Because it has an American flag on it.” “You know what, you’re speaking my language.” Then they play Rock-’em-Sock-’em Robots. I smell the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

15 Women Who Could Direct Catching Fire Instead of the Actual Candidates
Given all the attention The Hunger Games franchise is getting for having a strong female protagonist, it's only natural that talk should turn to the question of whether any female directors have been included on Hollywood's short list for the first movie's sequel, Catching Fire.

Guys, I'm still emotional about Kristen Wiig leaving #SNL. Even though she's still going to be pretty famous and successful forever.
