Voice-operated airplane
MIT researchers have developed a voice-controlled aircraft guidance system that enables a pilot in one plane to control a nearby unmanned air vehicle (UAV, sorta like the ones in stargate, yes I’m a nerd) by talking to it. Here’s a quote from the official press release:
“The system allows the pilot to interface with the UAV at a high level–not just ‘turn right, turn left’ but ‘fly to this region and perform this task,'” said Mario Valenti, a flight controls engineer for Boeing who is on leave to pursue a Ph.D. in electrical engineering and computer science at MIT. “The pilot essentially treats the UAV as a wingman,” said Valenti, comparing the UAV to a companion pilot in a fighter-plane squadron.

I want a Superman version..
This quilt was made out of 1.5″ squares laid atop a pattern generated by laying a game screencap over a grid Paint Shop Pro 8.
This shit blows my mind, I actually want Jenn to make me a Metriod version, but yeah, a Superman quilt would rock.

Repairs
The back screen door has has a bad hinge since the day we moved in, it accidentally got opened too far and messed it up as well as ripped a few screws out of the door frame and made it very hard to get the door to open (being that the door wasnt hanging right). Being the handy guy I am, I knew I could fix it, I just needed some time to get around to it.. I wonder if the Jennifer will notice that I fixed it.

crap
Kerry Concedes President Bush won a second term from a divided and anxious nation, his promise of steady, strong wartime leadership trumping John Kerry’s fresh-start approach to Iraq and joblessness. After a long, tense night of vote counting, the Democrat called Bush to concede Ohio and the presidency.

spammers.. fuck off
due to massive (unsucessful) attempts by spammers to spam my comments over the past 2 days, I’m going to turn comments off for a week in hopes that they eat a dick and fuck off.
Sorry for the profanity, but getting 500 emails a day about new comments being added that are spam is silly. Unfortunately spammers are spamming moveable type installs a lot more, so I’m turning off comments until i figure out a way to proactively delete them, vs my current approach of manually approving/deleting all comments before theyre posted.

Follow the flu
The National Flu Surveillance Network maps flu threats at the state and zipcode levels. They also have an animated map of previous seasons. The CDC also has a map of activity included in the weekly updates at their flu site. It’s too bad that we Canadians don’t have something like this.. but its interesting none the less.
