Sifting through files on my computer recently, I came across a nice electro house mix that I made back in 2007 - it's worth a listen:

I haven't found a track list yet - is anyone up to the challenge!?

Nao unboxing

tim — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 16:58:34 +0000

After a break from robotics development, I'm back, but with something a bit different. The Nao robot form Aldebaran Robotics is one of the most advanced commercially available humanoid robots. While used mainly in academic research (including the Robocup robot soccer competition), Aldebaran is looking to expand their market, and are now seeking developers to come up with new applications for the technology.

Nao is 58cm tall, with 25 degrees of freedom including hands that can grasp small objects. His brain is an x86 500Mhz AMD Geode running Linux, with standard programming support of C/C++, Python, Urbi and Aldebaran's own visual NaoQui system.

The courier delivered an enormous package from France - Nao is surprisingly heavy!

New Beagleboard and Timezones

Thanks to the folks at beagleboard.org, my shiny new Beagleboard has arrived! This is from the "Beagleboard Sponsored Projects Program" at http://beagleboard.org/contest. If you have an idea for a good project involving the Beagleboard, you can submit the details. Each week, two projects will be selected for a free board!
