robonova speaks!

Robot magazine has just posted an awesome how-to on making your robonova talk using the Quadravox QV306M1 sound board. It lets you play a bunch of pre-packaged sound files and messages as well as the ability to record your own sounds.

brain-controlled humanoid

The researchers at the Neural Systems Lab from the University of Washington have developed a non-invasive brain-computer interface that lets you control a humanoid robot with your thoughts!

There's way too much stuff going on for me to explain. Check it out:



For a detailed explanation of the BCI thingamajig that is used to control the robot, check out this video or visit the NSG homepage at http://neural.cs.washington.edu/

blogger problems

So I was testing the new blogger last week and found that I couldn't publish anything anymore. I kept getting a can't publish 550 error. The error looked like this:

550 /2007/10/test.html: The system cannot find the path specified. /2007/10/test.html

After a little research on google groups I found that you have to go to your Publishing settings and remove the slash "/" from your FTP path and replace it with a period "." Yes, a period instead of a slash.

That's all I know, please don't ask me how or why it works. I did however, find this out.
