Who is Mr. Robot?

Posted by Scott Sousa On F jS, Y

In you haven’t heard about it yet, Mr. Robot is a new TV series created by Sam Esmail that follows Elliot, a programmer who works as a cyber-security engineer by day and a vigilante hacker by night. Season 1 premiered on USA this summer and quickly became one of my favorite television shows.

In fact, I liked the show so much that I decided to dress up as Mr. Robot for Halloween this year. I actually meant to write this blog post shortly after Halloween, but I’m glad that I didn’t have the time back then to write it.

During a trip to New York City this past weekend, I met a couple of fans of the show while I was on location at Elliot’s apartment taking some photos. I was dressed up in my Mr. Robot costume and they were thrilled to see me. I think that my Mr. Robot costume was a success!

Jupiter and Venus are gearing up for a close encounter on the night of June 30th. Or perhaps they will be closest on the night of July 1st? I’ve seen sources cite both dates, but it all depends on where you’re located. Either way you can see them approaching one another in the night sky throughout the rest of June.
