Chrome rant
First, take a look at this. Bunch of ‘monsters‘ written in the processing language. This little language from MIT is even more versatile than I first thought. I’m thinking of writing a small visualization bot of sorts later on, which might take some time since my primary medium of choice Mathematica just got bumped upto version … Read more
all-nighty
Part of being an adult is pulling an all-nighter, and then getting paid for it. You see, kids pull all-nighters all the time on ridiculously stringent schedule, but they (usually) don’t get paid. Ah the sweet innocence of the lost days. I just took a relaxing stretch in the living room, with all the lights … Read more
Augmentation
I’ve had a chance to encounter a service on the web called ‘tumblr.’ So far I like it. Tumblr is a service that’s somewhere in between the constant microbursts of the twitter and full-scale blogging of the wordpress. Only more modern, not in sense of any aesthetic faux pas, but in sense of integration with … Read more
A note- engine of creativity
Juergen Schmidhuber is supposedly working on an artificial scientist. I’ve come to a sudden realization that I am very interested in creating an artificial creator, or an engine of creativity, and that my interest in artificial life might have in fact been an interest in studying the origins of the trait we refer to as … Read more
Musing
People love fantasies. They fantasize about things all the time. Act of shaping the most compelling traits of that fantasy in real world is called art. And the process that allows the conversion of idea to shape is called technology. Look at this. Beauty may be in the eyes of the beholder, but I think … Read more
Life: Deciding on a laptop
As I’ve continuously whined about past few months in various places around the net, I need to buy a new laptop. Yes. I haven’t bought the darn thing yet. I’ve been doing all my computing on school desktop (by remote connection) and the Asus EEEpc 701 ‘netbook’, which comes equipped with Xandros linux (buggy as … Read more
Update after the silence.
I’ve been away from U.S.A for a while now. Well, it’s actually only been around two weeks or so, but it still feel like forever to me (it probably is on the net). I’ve been attending the Synthetic Biology 4.0 conference in Hong Kong, and spent the rest of the days in South Korea visiting … Read more
Enhancing Mutitasking to Enhance Our Minds
I find myself writing less and less these days. With the amount of workload I had been subjected to lately, most of my writings tend to be in physical format. They are written on notebooks with ink and lead, and usually accompanied by crude drawings to illustrate ideas that words alone can’t describe effectively (my … Read more
Wondering chrome
A little life update, as usual. Now I am not as busy as before… Meaning that I have fewer deadlines to worry about at the moment, though there are a number of them looming on the horizon. Now that I have a bit of time I want to write a proper blog post like I … Read more
White tea
Have I ever mentioned that I’m really particular about teas? I usually don’t go for those instant stuff. I mean the premium stuff, the tea leaves with pedigree. Of course, such teas are usually somewhere between somewhat and very expensive, and I can’t often afford such teas with my budget, especially considering my equal love … Read more
