This is interesting, an interactive pole dance experiment that uses
strain gauges to change the lighting and colors by Daito Manabe + Motoi
Ishibashi. The best part about this video is you get to see a couple
Japanese hacker/engineers test it out. Well, at least that was my
favorite part.

Somewhat related, here’s a nice exchange about using a strain gauge from a scale to weigh a keg, clever!

32-year-old reportedly shows up for sentencing still wearing the costume.
(Middletown, OH) — Saturday night, people in the 3100 block of Wilbraham Road called police to report a woman wearing a cow costume was chasing kids, and blocking traffic. Michele Allen also allegedly urinated on the
porch of one neighbor.

When officers arrived, they told her to go home.  But later that night, they found her again, in the 2400 block of Verity, standing in traffic.  This time, officers say, Allen smelled of alcohol and swore at them.

She was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct. Allen plead guilty, Monday morning, in Middletown Municipal Court, and sentenced to a month in jail.
