Watching this video reminded me of the excerpt below. Pierre Jaquet-Droz was a genius who saw things that nobody else did at the time.
"..I have often felt that programming is an art form, whose real value can only be appreciated by another versed in the same arcane art; there are lovely gems and brilliant coups hidden from human view and admiration, sometimes forever, by the very nature of the process. You can learn a lot about an individual just by reading through his code, even in hexadecimal. Mel was, I think, an unsung genius.." -- Ed Nather

There is a great movie about an automaton called "Hugo" about a boy who lives in a French train station and is trying to repair an automaton that his father built.
Really good movie for the kids and kids at heart.

The writing thing was amazing but what really got me was the eye movements.
Damned spooky. You would almost swear it had life.
