The IEEE website has a new design. I don’t know how long it’s been there, less than a week probably, but I noticed it last night. The significance of this? Well….just that I really “disliked” the old one. It was quite disorganized, the design of each part of the website sang a different song and certain parts of it were quite ugly! Altogether I thought that for an organization of such size they could probably do better, and since this thought kept coming to my mind every time I visited that site, it was nice to see they actually did something about it. The new design is nice and well organized, so….good job to whoever took care of it!
Now was that “significance” enough? Or is it that there’s about 15 minutes left to my next class and I’m just incredibly bored?? And yes, I’m posting this from ENG406, on the 4th floor of Ryerson Engineering Building. 😛
OH….MY…GOODNESS….Just have a look @ this! The cutest little Robot ever! Pretty natural moves too. Very impressive indeed!
“We’ve all been waiting to finally own a True Walking Humanoid Robot, Kyosho of Japan will release MANOI, the “Ready-Made” Robot (that’s right; no assembly required) for about $1600. Wait til you see him Stand on One Leg and Do the “Wing Wave”…..you’ll want one too!!”
And yeah, I DO want one too! 😛

I) I got this pretty kool article yesterday in my RSS reader…it’z from Robots.net. Apparently there’z this new robot that can tell the difference between a mirror image of itself, and another robot looking exactly like it. It is said that this breakthrough can lead to creation of robots that are capable of emotion. Interesting eh? Somehow I can’t stop thinking about this….
II) Last night I started up on Greek grammar. [So far I know the alphabet, I’ve developed an understanding of the pronunciations and how things are supposed to sound like, and I know a bunch of words and short sentences.] U know what’s interesting? The grammar actually seems to be not so difficult. Then again this could be only the beginning…..
I’m also having so much fun with the Greek vocabulary. I don’t know how to put this in words…things “sound nice” in Greek! Also a lot of Greek words seem to have found their way into other languages, including Spanish and Persian. [In case of Persian I still don’t quite know which one has found its way into the other, although I’ve been doing a lot of “history” homework!] As a result, a lot of these new words are not so new to me!
