Thursday's Link Attack: Starcraft 2 Jobs, Beer Robots, Kimchi Mamas

South Korean streaming video company GOM TV is looking for English-language announcers to cover StarLeague, the  professional league for the StarCraft 2 video game.

If you have passion for eSports and love casting, do not hesitate to show us what you got!

I guess the popularity of watching other people play video games continues to grow (there are over three channels devoted to this in Korea) and has spread to English-speaking audiences.

CanBot: When drinking and robots collide
CNN

A Japanese inventor thought it would be a good idea to make a robot disguised as a beer can.

The robot’s mission? Move very, very slowly across a table. Or roll, roll, roll it’s way to victory.

Seems pretty pointless but I’m sure it sure beats these ridiculous Japanese inventions.

CNN reported that the inventor made his alcoholic robot Bluetooth-ready and is operated remotely via a Wii controller.

A group of Korean American mothers have teamed up to create the mommy blog Kimchi Mamas, according to a recent article published by the Korea Times of LA.

Self described as a Kimchi Mama with a valley girl accent, Ms. Kang was born in Korea and immigrated to Southern California with her family at the age of six. She emerged as a power blogger, initially blogging about the daily routine working as a database programmer while raising two kids. Frankly expressing her opinions about LA Times or New York Times articles of interest to Koreans, she has proven her popularity with her post about single moms related to a 2009 New York Times article.

I don’t know about you but most of the time I enjoy watching the behind-the-scenes clips more than the actual video.
