Dem Crazy Military Scientists Need YOU!

That’s right people. DARPA needs more wacky brainpower to fuel their raving visions of cutting edge military science. And they’ve got all these videos of project manager testimonials reinforcing just how RAD working at DARPA is. It’s got this really hot little soundtrack that echoes early ‘90s exercise videos.

Daniel Engber over at Slate reports on the murky organization’s recent DARPATech meeting in Anaheim, California in his article ”I Want To Be a Mad Scientist.”

But it sure is interesting learning about the inner workings of the Pentagon’s crazy zany R&D dept. which has brought us such goodies as remote-controlled sharks and cyber-insect armies.

If anything, it looks like a bureaucratic nightmare led by a nano-managing boss according to some of the cutting comments on Wired Blog’s coverage of the conference.
