Travis' Birthday

Hangin out with Travis on his birthday.

Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid

This here's the latest of what I am watching, although I haven't actually started watching it yet. If the previous series are any indication, this will be another awesome series to watch.

Awesome messenger documentary

C I N E C Y C L E

Check out the documentary trailer on there...kind of features an IRO Mark V, one of the bikes I'd consider buying...if I had money.

Also some very awesome videos here.

Jamie Roy Complete Bicycle

Jamie Roy Complete Bicycle

Yeah, pretty obsessed about the Jamie Roy right now, no way to afford it any time soon, however.

Travis is a CFI!

Phrack coming to an end

www.phrack.org

Apparently Phrack is going to end. It's kind of weird, because I found Phrack a few years ago, having heard of it a long time ago, but thinking it was already gone. I thought wow it ought to be around for quite a while then. Oh well. Although the site does hint at a "resurrection."

Phrack is one of the great hacking publications that has been around for quite a while now.

Some crazy tennis

BBC SPORT | Photo Galleries | The Helipad Open photos

Check this out...pretty awesome pictures.

Chupacabra?

This is downright freaky. Kind of looks like a big bat maybe? I have no idea what it is, but it intrigues me, as I have long thought it would not be entirely suprising for there to be some strange creatures out there we have not really encountered much yet...or something.

Cell Architecture Explained

Cell Architecture Explained

I'm always looking towards the future of computing along with my friends, and this is very interesting. Not that the ideas are new, but the application of them to personal computing is. The information explained here is basically all interpolated and extrapolated from the recent filing by Sony and some other companies of patents surrounding the Playstation 3. The article, writeup, or whatever you want to call it is fairly well written, though to me sounds not like a writer, but just a technology enthusiast. He gets the information across in a satisfactorily organized manner, though.

Basically it is about a CPU architecture that allows for sharing of computing power between "cells," more than one of which can be in the same device, but they do not have to be. Through whatever communication medium available, different devices can share computing power, like say a PDA, a home stereo, your PC or terminal device or whatever it will be, etc. Read the article for a better explanation. What I am getting at is that this fits what I imagine will be the ultimate future of computing, which will be that computing power will be available on demand from whatever devices are around at the time, or maybe even over the internet, or whatever there will be then. Basically even if you don't have a very expensive and powerful CPU, you will almost never run out of computing power. Rather than going out and getting an expensive personal computer, users will simply buy a terminal device suitable for them, whether it is a small portable device or a permanent workstation. The device itself will have its own "cells" which will be easily added or subtracted, but it will be much smaller and less expensive, because it will be designed to use the available distributed computing power.

End speculation, that's just what I think. The bottom line of the article, though, is that the capabilities of the PS3 will be so far beyond anything we can imagine, it will be incredible.

1988 Turin Shroud Dating shown invalid

Scotsman.com News - Sci-Tech - New research shows Turin Shroud is no medieval fake

I find this pretty amazing. So much time and effort were put into the 1988 research, and it was backed so strongly, that to find out they messed up and used a bad sample is pretty amazing.

A Century of Einstein

Wired News: A Century of Einstein: "A Century of Einstein"

I believe we all should know a little more about this man whose work influenced our lives so much. Please join in in celebrating "Einstein Year."
