So, I decided to give this blogging thing a try. It is the new web craze after all isn't it? Who knows how long it will hold my attention though.
My day has been pretty relaxing so far. I dropped Whitney(gf) off at school, hung out with her dad for a little bit, and now I am here on my computer. I came across an extremely interesting article while getting my daily dose of tech news today. Check it out
I wasn't aware that anyone had come so far with neural networks in robotics applications yet. How did I miss hearing about this before?!? Seriously, how amazing is it that someone is creating machines that can actually come up with creative solutions to problems? They can actually develop their own walking gaits without any programming and adapt them to different situations. These things are actually thinking in groups and for themselves. Is this scary? Maybe a little bit but it is still fascinating. I need to learn more about neural networks, I've always been fascinated by them but I didn't know they offered quite this much potential. I gotta keep a close eye on this Dr. Stephen Thaler guy's research (granted there probably won't be much information on it anywhere since he is developing all this for the military). This just adds one more thing to my ever increasing list of things I'm hungry to learn more about. I wish there were 50 hours in the day or something so I actually had time to read more about what's going on in the tech world!
In other news....Whitney's dad made the most awesome dinner suggestion to me last night and it turned out amazing. I'm really starting to like this cooking thing...it's fun and delicious! I couldn't believe how something so easy to make could taste sooooooo good. I just Sautéed some boneless skinless chicken breast in a pan with a little olive oil and seasonings (seasoned salt, pepper, fresh garlic, and some basil) and when it was done cooking I coated it with a thin layer of barbeque sauce and sprinkled grated cheese on top and let the cheese melt in the oven. SO GOOD!
That's all for now. I have to finish up my programming project for class.

This stuff is amazing & scary at the same time. well you would think you were in heaven if you got on a research project like this. It would give you an edge in thay flying robotics competition.
mom
It would be incredibly useful for the aerial robotics competition :) If only I had more access to the technology. I should email them...hmmmmm
