FINDING THE REAL DEAL

Dinosaurs and Robots is a blog about objects by Mister Jalopy and Mark Frauenfelder.

Rather than focus on the newest trend, we will seek authentic, handy, rarefied, disgusting, illuminating, delicious, mysterious, intoxicating, commonplace, historic, intensely personal, entertaining and enlightened objects, both priceless heirlooms and exquisite trash.

Robyn Miller!

WHO IS ROBYN MILLER?

To the best of our knowledge, Robyn's body was mysteriously fused with a plastic dwarf toy. No one knows exactly how it happened, but things haven't been the same since. He's now available on eBay for only $3.50, which he believes is a real steal. Before the accident, Robyn enjoyed occasionally painting, writing music, and directing video games.
