08/18/08 Birth of the Internet

The National Science Foundation has a pretty cool site up documenting the birth of the 'net using both text & multimedia.

Oddly enough I haven't seen Al Gore's name anywhere mentioned in this....

04/29/08 The time of the robot apocalypse comes closer

Shape-shifting robots take form

How would you like to have your very own shape-shifter? Perhaps a liquid metal T-1000 Terminator to help around the house. Or a universal tool kit that could reshape itself into any implement at the press of a button. For an astronaut in orbit, an army mechanic in remote terrain or even a homeowner trying to fix a furnace on a cold winter night, it could be just the thing.

03/18/08 Apple & their SDK

Alright so I picked up an iPhone (to do some development on), and went to download the SDK for it, all is well and good ya know, sign up for this, agree to that, yadda yadda yadda

So I finally get to the point where I can download the damn thing and what do you know....

It's a fucking .dmg no SDK for Windows machines....after cursing loudly for several mins and the dogs coming in to look at me as if saying "Are you ok...?" I realized I'm screwed & now will be buying a macbook....

So I'm selling my Samsung Q1P which I upgraded to 2gb of ram so if any one is interested....

damnit....

On a side note: Picked up some other new gadgets...might get around to reviewing them
(n810, Sony PRS-505, Jawbone bluetooth headset, I've had, but not talked about my HP tc4400 tablet, a dual lcd holder)

01/02/08 Ice crapping robot

Japanese Robot Eats Snow, Poops Out Bricks of Ice:

What's cute, yellow, eats snow and poops out bricks of ice?

Meet Yuki-taro, a Japanese robot built to quickly clear roads after heavy snows.

The cute little guy, about 5 feet long and 2 and a half feet high, simply plows into snowbanks, taking in the white stuff, compressing it and neatly stacking it in two-foot-long bricks on his rear bed.

This is only a precursor for it to eating our bodies and crapping out our bones.
