the bachelor's degree project demonstration last week showcased dozens of robots of all shapes and sizes… they travel in air, on land and underwater… not to mention the amphibious ones… from the legless snakes to the two-legged bipeds to the four-legged turtle to the six-legged crab… i'm not sure if there were any with even more legs… and then there were the helicopters, boats and hovercrafts… i wasn't present for most of the demonstrations so i can't be sure what else there were… anyway… here are some of them in pictures… to view their videos on youtube… just follow the links… they include stairo… brat… enigma… turtletron… micromouse… snake… dexterous hand… and of course… vortex

engadget is blogging live from macworld 2007… and the coolest gadget of them all is the iphone… do drool over the pics and news there… i wouldn't want to plagiarise their coverage here… i'd love to get my hands on it when it's released in asia next year… if it does reach our shores… a long wait though…

apple tv was also unveiled… it's pretty much a media center to wirelessly stream digital video and music from your macs to your widescreen…

switch?

i finally got around to completing my first database from scratch in a couple of hours… well… it is a useful one indeed… now i don’t have to repeat myself when people wanna know what’s in my collection… check it out here

i guess i shall soon be cataloguing everything else i own… from movies to music… and whatever else that needs to be organized…

coding is cool…

a screenshot from my suse… it’s quite a cool distro for beginners… well… i’m currently writin’ this in konqueror… and last week i burnt a couple of dvds for the first time with k3b… so far so good… no glitches…

a vital book for newbies… most people won’t actually need a whole book i think… :)
