Go Stinky go!!!

Go Stinky go!!! 03/30/2005 11:30 AM

Four high school students -- gold chains, fake diamond rings, patchy, adolescent mustaches and sharp brains -- take on MIT and others in a robot competition. They're undocumented Mexican Americans living in trailers and shabby houses in Arizona. They raise only $800 from the community to fund their project, while the MIT team raises $11,000 from corporate donors. They have to scrounge for the "most best tampons" at the last moment to fix a leak in their robot. The other teams snicker at their garishly painted robot when it's unveiled poolside. You know how this is going to end. You know. But it's very satisfying to read nonetheless. (via Amygdala)

Stinky links 02/05/2005 09:50 PM

A few friends started posting all their daily links to their blog like I've been doing for the past few months, and when I see their sites pop up into my blo.gs sidebar or my bloglines account, I get all excited that they wrote something, but then there's a bit of a let down when I realize it's another set of 4-5 links.

Then I looked at my own site, filled with ten posts of 3-4 dumb links and sighed. After five years of doing this, I never thought I'd be reduced to handfuls of interesting links sprinkled with a dab of jokey commentary. Maybe that's what killed Anil's site.


Stinky ROV from Phoenix Takes on MIT


Stinky ROV from Phoenix Takes on MIT 03/29/2005 02:59 PM
There's an entertaining new Wired article about a team of four Mexican immigrants from a Phoenix High School taking on MIT and other top schools in the recent MATE ROV contest. Their ROV, named Stinky, was hacked together from PVC pipe and other off-the-shelf parts. Their unconventional design combined with some last minute help from feminine hygiene products resulted in a favorable showing compared to robots entered by leading Universities. Stinky ended up with the design award and the team received a special achievement award in addition to being declared the overall winner of the competition. Their story inspired the Phoenix Union High School District to create the La Vida Robot scholarship fund to benefit the further education of the four team members: Cristian Arcega, Lorenzo Santillan, Luis Aranda, and Oscar Vazquez. More photos are available on the team's website, as is a technical report (PDF format) describing their ROV.

AP - A giant exotic plant that has not bloomed in the Northeast in more than 60 years is ready to flower at the University of Connecticut's greenhouses. The "corpse flower" has the odor of 3-day-old road kill, and UConn botanists couldn't be more excited.

No sir, I am not that much in touch with

No sir, I am not that much in touch with
my feminine side
08/27/2004 01:48 PM
I was going to blog from Reeperbahn (I find it slightly worrying that T9 actually recognizes that word) but instead exhaustion got the better of me, so I'm in the hotel, ready for bed.

But idly I wonder about why my name seems so feminine to many non-Finns. The hotel tv greets me as "Mrs Jalkanen", and someone has placed a women's magazine on the table for my convenient perusal.

Well, no big harm done :). If some computer out there thinks I'm a woman, let it be. Computers need their fun, too.

Update: I need to check my handwriting. The hotel bill this morning was addressed to

Mrs. Janne Jalkanen
Algrsis Rivon Katu
00510 Mozinski
Finland

NOT quite where I imagine living. And the poor clerk looked very confused as she looked me in the eye and went: "M...errr Jalkanen?", as she was trying to decide which one was correct: the computer or her eyes. :-D

Why a wiki bl0gging chatbot? 03/22/2005 05:10 PM

For Chapter 15 of Blogs, Wikis, and Feeds In Action I'm combining my Relay-IRC Chatengine, the JSPWiki rendering engine, and the BlogClient library together to create a wiki blogging chatbot, but why? Why would anybody want to use wiki syntax (or any other syntax) to blog from an IRC chatroom? Are chatbots just pure geek-fun or is there an actual business case for them? Anybody using chatbots, or more specifically blog-chatbots for in a business application?

screenshot of wiki-blogging chatbot in action

Above we see the blogbot entering a chatroom. Snoopdavey greets the bot and the bot, being quite professional and not sassy in the least, responds with "Unknown command." Next, snoopdavey instructs the bot to post a blog message titled "Hello World" with some content in JSPWiki format. Blogbot converts the content to HTML, posts it to a blog server, and responds with the new post ID. Next, snoopdavey decides to unblog the message he just blogged and the bot complies.

Pretty cool and all, but probably useful only to the terminally geeky.

Vanessa sez, "This is just amazing -- the authors manipulated images from the Bayeux Tapestry and created a Flash-based kit where you can make your own medieval comic strip. Images are scalable, type can be colored. You can send your images as ecards to the medievalists of your acquaintance." I made an Orwellian one that I'm quite proud of, in my own, quiet way.
