Now a robot for me (hic)!

I must have been in the grade school, I fell in love with "Giant Robot", a cheesy Japanese children show. From that day I didn't want a dog, all I wanted is a flying robot. Giant robot would fly whenever summoned by the kids talking into their watches.



Then I fell in love with the ever cute "R2-D2" from Star Wars. I wanted this beeping side-kick.


Now I see this new "Beer pouring" robot, I want it right now. My beer is getting cold and my tongue is itching. Here is the new beer fetching robot, courtesy (robosavvy forum)




When is my cooking robot coming out, or should I just marry? Dont shoot me, it's just a bad joke, as always.

Trendmeisters

I found this somewehere on the web, when trolling for Ideas on trends.

Serial trendmeisters are professionals who have built huge careers off correctly reading trend after trend after trend, and building business after business around them. One-time trendmeisters are more or less ordinary people who spotted a trend, took the time to really understand it, and then turned that understanding into a fortune.

If you think, most of the succesful people, not only businessmen even scientists sports-persons, are trendmeisters.

Continuing this line of thought, Do trendmeisters differ from trend-setters? I think so. According to me, trendmesiters are trend-spotters, specialing in spotting trend-setters. Almost like the talent scouts scouting the minor leagues for next Barry Bonds or Wayne Gretzky.

I also read somewhere that every company worth its salt employees these trend-spotters hoping to catch the wave early. Then what's the difference between these Trend-spotters and trendmeisters? It would be easy to say that Trendmeisters are successful while these employed trend-spotters are not! Well, who am I to make a judgement anyways?

I suck at spotting trends, I have been in lookout for the next big thing for a while. I thought that the next big thing in car audio would be DVDs with thousands of songs, and I completely missed the boat on iPods. iPods caught me off gaurded, I use my iPod in my car regulaarly and juked all my scartched and scorthced CDs. I now know what I am not going to do for living!

Emotions!

Vulcans are my favourite race in StarTreck. They are all about logic and they don't have any emotions what so ever, on the other hand Klingon is a warrior race and they are motivated by their raw emotions. We humans are some where in between with a cautious mix of emotions and logic.

Mr. Spock the first officer of USS Enterprise, is half Vulcan and half Human, and there is constant conflict between his logic and emotions. Why are emotions and logic at loggerheads with each other?

I hate being emotional, I want to be as logical as possible, I want to be a rock in the feild, not the leaf on that single lime tree, waiting for the next storm.

I just spoke to my grand father, a man of immense stature. Reading and gaining knowledge was his life long passion. He is my idol, he taught me that world is full of interesting things and there for us to discover. Today he is losing his eyesight. He cant read anymore, his optic nerves are wearing out.

I couldn't control myself from feeling sorry for him, I couldn't control my emotions, I even cried a little. Why should I feel like I did? 'Cuase I am human, not a Vulcan, I love him, and I don't wanna lose him.

Is loving and losing the circle of life?
