Sensorial Communication
Tomorrow I'm giving a talk at Tufts University CS Department about Sensorial Communication, my research topic. Hopefully I will be in good shape (I've been recovering from a nasty cold).
Well, good thing I have a lot of old presentations to draw from. Fortunately, I have a video of comtouch that shows the project with talking in the background. Wish me good luck!

a true makeover story
So, some of you may have noticed I am sporting a new haircut and nail polish this week. What's the deal, you ask? Virginia won an Oprah O party, and I was lucky to get invited. Yay!
The first time I've ever spent almost a whole day getting pampered, and it was sure an experience. I have to admit that the pedicure and haircut were my favorite parts. It was fun, and here is my shout-out to Oprah and G-spa. Ofcourse, it wouldn't have been possible without Virginia! Girls, you sure look good today!
LED-Toilet-Seat Galactika
So, you all know how nuts I am for LEDs! TadT just sent me a link four the LED-Toilet-Seat Galactika. LED Lights now for the bathroom. The toilet seat lights up when you lift the toilet lid. *DUDE!* It'll go nicely with my IKEA Trybble! :)

I think the timeline is interesting, and so are the quotations. Giving facts is something the Moore movie didn't do to well, and it is also a good way to sell t-shirts.

Anj Likes Jumbo Dogs
Jim points out that I like Jumbo dogs. One reason is that it is the best deal in 1 Kendall Square. Second reason is that these hot dogs are, like, 3 ft, long (see the picture on the right)! Third and last reason is that they keep people away cause you burp "hot dog" after you eat em.

Dinos ducks and geese
It was a great puttin' and paddling weekend. I was feeling down on Friday, but then Roo was here, and we went to go putting and paddling with Virginia and Jim, Nick, Sopps n Shen. First it was miniature golf on Route 1, and then a trip to Kelly's, where Jim found the Miracle Road to avoid that crazy traffic. Then we went to see the World's Fair, got some pulled pork. Just the perfect pre-canoeing lunch. We canoed up the Charles and got food in Watertown, saw the weir and came back. A satisfying, and fun weekend.

Peter Pan is a bully, The Chicken Run ROCKS
Boston.com / Business / Peter Pan is a bully: "business, using vans to drive his fellow immigrants to their jobs in New York City. Business booms. Pretty soon Pei Lin Liang is running cut-rate, no-frills bus service between Boston and New York. The appeal could not be simpler: $10 one way.
The customers love it -- and not just Asians, but anyone looking to save a buck, particularly the young. What Southwest Airlines did to the economics of air fares, Liang's little bus line, Fung Wah Bus, is now doing to the established order of the I-95 bus business. And in an era of overpaid chief executives, Liang, who speaks little English and lives in New York, still drives a bus regularly."
Go Fung Wah!

Fourth east and The Rock
Tonight we saw The Rock (1996) at LSC. Vimal organized it, and we had rice krispies desserts while chatting to Slugfest. Familiar faces and good entertainment. What more could you ask for? Also got to see the first episode of Monk on the projection in the Goodale Lounge. It was good, a bit sad. Can't believe Vimal and Kathy and gang have graduated! Has it been 4 years already???

Hellomoto Racing Yacht Sets Sail
Today we got to get a close look at the Hellomoto boat. Hellomoto Racing Yacht Sets Sail and came into harbor in Boston last weekend. Moto had a reception at Rowes Wharf. I think its quite exciting that these young people can dedicate their lives to this sport. This race was a 14 day solo race, and the only contact with others was an Iridium phone. The boat was very pretty and besides being nicely painted, seemed to have lots of cool tech. There were at least 8 solar panels and 3 anemometers. There were also catamarans and tri-cats in the harbor, which were quite interesting to look at.
Dinner at the Union Oyster House
So we're sitting in Faneuil Hall, eating fish and chips at Union Oyster House, Boston. Apparently it's America's Oldest Restaurant. The food was good though. Good dinner for a nice night.

How to Remove Comment notes from BlogSpeak Javascript Errors
I take no responsibility for people who don't back up their site. I would save a backup copy first, and then remove the comment stuff from BlogSpeak(because it generates javascript errors).
First, log onto your Blogger.com account. Go to the Blog template and delete the lines that have anything to do with blogSpeak. Also need to delete the stuff having to do with $BlogComment stuff.
Most obvious is the line that starts with "script" and has blogspeak in the line.
Next is the ItemPage section that has "BlogComments" references in it.
Delete beginning from <ItemPage> to <ItemPage> of that section.
