	Robotic laws http://hsu06.livejournal.com/27556.html What happens when lawyers get a hold of Isaac Asimov's three robotic laws? You get Japan's Draft Guidelines to Secure the Safe Performance of Next Generation Robots, a 60-page document of legalese. If anything will stop an attacking robot in its tracks, More...

	I jinxed Michael Phelps http://hsu06.livejournal.com/27103.html After his third gold medal, I started paying attention to what Michael Phelps was doing at the swimming world championships. In case you didn't know, Phelps was going for a record 8 gold medals. One race after another, Phelps won gold, often breaking the world record in the process. After his seventh gold, I thought he had a great chance to win all eight. Then I hoped that his chance at an eig More... Published by :hsu06 2007-04-01 23:25:54.0

	Deathly Hallows cover art http://hsu06.livejournal.com/26838.html The cover art for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has been revealed. Click here to see it. I wonder if there's a difference between the UK and UK Adult versions of the book. More... Published by :hsu06 2007-03-29 14:23:43.0

	The web - where everyone knows your name, and everything else you're up to http://hsu06.livejournal.com/26340.html No, this isn't a post about Internet security. It's about how people voluntarily make their private lives public. Two sites that are getting buzz from the tech blogs I read are Twitter and Justin.tv. With Twitter, you can post messages about where you are from your cellphone. By putting a Twitter widget on your More... Published by :hsu06 2007-03-27 15:12:28.0

	I'm losing it http://hsu06.livejournal.com/25767.html This morning, I couldn't find my cellphone, so I had the idea of calling it and following the sound of the ringing. So I looked around for another phone with which to call my cellphone and finally found one. As I was trying to remember my cellphone number to dial it, I realized that the phone I was holding was... my cellphone. Duh! I'm glad I didn't actually dial the number. More...

	What the frak?!? http://hsu06.livejournal.com/24568.html Amazingly, I managed to catch up on the three shows I watch. Battlestar Galactica - What the frak?!? Starbuck is dead?!? The original BSG would never have done something like that! What is it with TV shows nowadays. They all think they have to kill off major characters to be considered a goo More...

	Daylight savings http://hsu06.livejournal.com/23978.html Thanks to our brilliant representatives in Congress, daylight savings starts this weekend, weeks earlier than normal. I didn't know about it until the IT guy came by yesterday to install upgrades on all of our computers. I don't really mind if some devices are an hour off for a couple of weeks. The one piece of electronics that had better work, however, is the DVR. I'd hate to have it record s More... Published by :hsu06 2007-03-06 15:40:06.0

	The _-word http://hsu06.livejournal.com/23330.html As I drove into work this morning, I heard a news story about New York trying to ban the N-word. It didn't take long for me to figure out what the N-word was. Then I started thinking of other letters that have words so strongly associated with them that we refer to the word as "the <letter>-word". I came up with the A-word, the F-word, and the S-word. I can kinda see there being a B-word More... Published by :hsu06 2007-03-02 15:53:40.0

	Google gets closer to being the Evil Empire http://hsu06.livejournal.com/22785.html Google announced today that it is offering a suite of hosted office applications for $50 per user per year. This is cheaper than buying Microsoft Office (clearly Google's target here), but you have to wonder how many corporations are willing to use applications hosted by another company and have their data stored by that company? And if my experience with Blogger (another Google product) is any indication More... Published by :hsu06 2007-02-22 23:33:11.0

	Save the cheerleader, save Disney http://hsu06.livejournal.com/22633.html Before Heroes, I had never heard of Hayden Panettiere, who plays Claire Bennet on the show. Last week, while we were watching A Bug's Life, I noticed her name in the credits. She did the voice of Dot! Then we rented Cinderella 3 (yes, there's a Cinderella THREE!) over the weekend. One of the bonus features on the DVD was a video by none other than Hayden Panettiere! More... Published by :hsu06 2007-02-20 16:00:15.0
