Somebody fill me in on why this invention is of any value? I may be missing something... Granted MIT wastes... er... spends... a lot of money on useless... er... unchartered... research agendas, but I'm really not sure who funded this one.

I didn't realize Darren had moved his blog to Xanga. :S I was browsing around and found a link to an interesting link. I think I'm supposed to be inspired by this video clip and get all excited about the future... but for some reason I really don't sense any of that... I was just kinda bothered by how NTT Docomo thinks people in year 2010 will be wearing FOBby tight-ass pants and shirts... ha ha ha!

The ideas in the clip don't seem overly far-fetched. It's 7+ years from now which is so much in computer time. Lot of those things are already possible, it's just a matter of setting up the global infrastructure... good luck with whichever Regime they're going to set up to govern all the protocols and such... World is so full of bureaucracies and non-rational parties. At least technology is relatively easier to deal with in that matter given that protocols can be tunneled... Maybe I'm just overly pessimistic about any matters that deal with international relations after having read the case study for the Law of the Seas and the Antarctic Treaty...

At any rate, I just miss my friends in Seoul and Beijing so much after watching this clip... dang I'm getting friggin' sentimental...

So I had applied for a student volunteer position at SIGGRAPH 2002 this year... I had attended 2 previous years and thought it would be cool to volunteer to help about and at the same time get to meet new people from different parts of the world. It just seemed that that'd be a better way of getting involved then just being an attendee. Unfortunately, I got rejected. =( *SOB* *SOB*... Oh, well... Maybe next year... Who knows... I might write a paper for presentation next year regarding the Computer Graphics work that I'm currently doing at work.... :)

In an effort to really spend some time thinking seriously about the intersection of computer science and software engineering I will be hosting several brown bags at work over the summer. This would hopefully lemme flesh out some of the concepts of balancing the art of design and the science of engineering. If nothing at all, it should force me to really sit down and organize these ideas in a coherent manner so that I will be ready for some involved discussion on the topic.

Gosh, there are so many books I want to read over the summer in the subject of computer science.... Hopefully I can finish 3 - 4 over summer... I can't tell you how beneficial it is to be riding the bus everyday... I can probably consume about 10 - 15 pages of a pretty sophisticated material on a bus everyday... That lets me finish a 300 page book in about a month. That's not bad. :)

You know what... Scrap that idea about setting up a Linux Router... I'm just gonna get one of these. So much cheaper and much easier to configure. I might still finish building the linux box to run MySQL, but all my web logic(PHP, python, ASP, etc...) will just sit inside one windows 2000 box, I just want to make sure that the other windows 2000 box is only running dev tools and music apps. Ahhhh... I like that... keh heh.
