Whatever happened to VR gaming?

28Jan08

Im still waiting for my VR suit with HMD (head mounted display). Im pretty sure the technology exists, I wonder why no one has made a good product out of it yet. Why is Microsoft wasting time on this Surface technology? wouldn’t VR gloves and video goggles be way cooler? Something like these but better. Maybe incorporate some smart ideas like what this guy came up with.

Natto

22Jan08

I usually go out for lunch. A cute co-worker keeps me company. I think she likes to practice her english on me. She is really smart, and she can speak Chinese as well as English. I just like looking at her. But today was one of those days when everybody was busy for lunch so I decided to get one of the bento boxes that they sell in the building. Then I trucked by butt back to my work station to eat. Sad i know, but doesnt bother me, i sometimes like to eat alone. We dont have cubicles here, you get a desk and a seat, and to my left is a female co-worker, but shes sick today (i think i passed her some flu virus that I was immune to) to my right is a male co-worker. He is also eating at his desk today. And he goes “…do you eat Natto?” . At the mention of the word I felt my throat gag… then politely, “uhm.. no I cant eat that”. He goes.. “oh.. well so sorry, I have Natto for lunch. So sorry for smell..” Now, if youve never seen natto, just to give you a clue, its some sort of fermented bean product. I have no idea how they discovered that its good to eat. Id rather eat my own shoe before i take a bite into that stuff. The smell reminds me of rotting meat/garbage with a hint of ketchup and cheese. But you know, I think the reason why Japanese can eat this stuff is because they got pretty good waste disposal systems in place. I dont think most people here have ever smelled rotting meat or garbage. So the smell must invoke different wholesome images in their heads. So anyway, while im eating my lunch, wafts of natto smell would creep along my area. Then after eating, the guy apologizes a second time. I go..”no no, its not that bad really…but in my head Im like, Jesus H Christ man. just throw it out…brush your teeth now!!”

First Post

Wierd, creepy article from Wired Mag today. It’s about two AI researches that died mysterious deaths. No summary will do it justice, you gotta go read it for yourself. At some point a quote from AI expert Marvin Minsky popped up ….”Each mental agent by itself can only do some simple thing that needs no mind or thought at all,” describing a neural net. It got me thinking. I am now pretty sure that someday the internet will achieve conciousness and immortality. So im gonna try and upload all my thoughts into it, via this blog, just in case the internet turns out to be Jesus Christ, second coming and all that….what have I got to lose.
