Training to fight. Saving money and taking care of myself. I know people have hacked my computers in the past. Possibly sent you messages I'm not aware of and made things look different than they are. No matter. If you have posted on c list as a communication tool. Great. If not good luck S, you still mean the world to me. Check out Immortals movie I'm fairly certain you'll see some parallels. At least 38 of them.

Just Ignore It?

I'm going to play some video games tonight. I haven't decided whether I am going to build a site to blow off steam. Or just mash through level upon level with just a pistol. Hmmmm.

Simply put. Robotics are the future. Automated thinking software already exists. It's just the hardware which has to catch up. Take Big Dog for Example...

So that is Big Dog... and that is the technology we had 2 years ago! Imagine what secret developments are currently under lock and key with this project. I'm sure they've weaponized these by now. Which is kind of crazy considering there are video games like...

Now one might say Big Dog here is a complete waste of the multi-million dollar government contracts the US gives to this DARPA funded agency. I say the opposite. This is exactly what robotics needed... A ton of cash to ensure the advancement of hardware. The country will need these robots in the future to fight our wars along side our human soldiers.

Here is a piece from CNET on the important role smart robotics will play in the future.

For early researchers in artificial intelligence who were out to play God, it turned out the devil was in the details.

Their efforts to re-create human intelligence in hardware and software have led to some very smart machines--just think of IBM's Deep Blue beating chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov, whose genius for the game couldn't match the computer's high-speed calculations. But aside from that rarified skill, the machine would be no match for the average 3-year-old in figuring out how to get the best of a grown-up human.

Link Shortening Goo.gl tips and tricks

chromerobotics@gmail.com — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 09:33:00 +0000

Beefing up goo.gl with new features: "

(Cross-posted with the Official Google Blog)

Since we launched our URL shortener goo.gl last September, we’ve been lucky enough to build a thriving and growing community of passionate users who aren’t shy about letting us know when something could be better. We appreciate the feedback, and today we’ve completed a series of feature rollouts aimed at addressing your most common requests.

Copy to clipboard

Now you can easily copy new short URLs to your clipboard, a frequently requested feature on our forums. When a new short URL is created, the text on the page will automatically be highlighted, and you can simply press Control+C (or Command+C on a Mac) to copy it.

More tips after the break

Remove from dashboard

You can also now remove items from your dashboard, so that you can see a quick summary of only your most important links and hide the ones you no longer need. Please note that when you hide a short URL, you’re only removing it from your own dashboard. The URL will still exist and work. You can’t add short URLs back into your dashboard once you’ve hidden them, so be sure you won’t need to find that short URL from your dashboard later. Remember that you can always view analytics for any of your short URLs by appending a “+” to the end of them (e.g., http://goo.gl/rQ6HT+). This feature will be rolling out over the next several days, and may not work immediately on mobile devices.

Spam reporting

Many of you told us that you’d like a way to tell us about goo.gl URLs that lead to spam sites. We recently set up goo.gl/spam-report for just that purpose. So far it’s helped us a lot in identifying and blocking short URLs that lead to spam, so keep those reports coming.

Ongoing speed and stability improvements

Even as we add features, we continue to focus on making goo.gl one of the fastest and most reliable URL shorteners on the web. We’ll continue working hard to ensure that we add minimal latency to the user experience and extend our track record of rock-solid reliability—we’ve had no service outages since we launched last September.

We hope you find these new features useful, and we look forward to your continued feedback.

Great new book: Mastering the Art of 3D Construction Modeling: "Dennis Fukai is Director of Research and Development at Insitebuilders. He’s a licensed architect and contractor with more than 25 years of design and construction experience, and a Fulbright Scholar with a PhD in Architecture from the University of California at Berkeley. He taught graduate and undergraduate courses in building construction and architecture for ten years before beginning his publishing company Insitebuilders.com.
You may recognize Dennis’ name; he’s been writing SketchUp books since 2004. Mastering the Art of 3D Construction Modeling is the title of his latest publication, which was released in March of this year.

More stuff and amazing photos after the break.

Dennis’ newest book is an update to his classic 3D Construction Modeling, first published in late 2005 using Version 4 of SketchUp. The great thing about this book is that it’s also accompanied by a disc. This CD includes a series of short, illustrative videos, divided by chapter. For each chapter, the CD also contains several 'tips and tricks' videos which show how to use a particular tool for a construction goal. The printed book itself is basically an illustrated index for the videos.

Dennis' books are visually amazing.

His books have received rave reviews because they're great at communicating 3D modeling to the construction industry. You can learn more about his latest project as well as purchase the book by reading this blog post.
