August 21, 2011 by ryochiji I apologize for the long hiatus on this blog… There are a couple of reasons for the long silence.
The first reason is that when I got from Japan back in mid-June, I felt like I should write a post wrapping up my experiences there, yet somehow I couldn’t quite find the words so I kept putting it off. So, I’m giving up (for now), and will simply point you at this talk I did at Google’s Tokyo office that does a decent job of summarizing my experiences. The second reason for the long silence is that I’ve been seeing someone else… I mean, I’ve been blogging elsewhere.

Each day we hear more and more news about how robots are able to help us as well as make the quality of our lives a whole lot better – and the latest piece of news to hit the headlines is this: rats are now on the receiving end of cybernetic enhancements, thanks to the implementation of an artificial cerebellum which successfully restored lost brain function in rats.
I suppose with many millions of dollars more of research as well as time, cyborg-style brain implants might be a reality one day. Imagine using such implants to replace areas of brain tissue that were damaged by stroke as well as other debilitating diseases. As for the healthy, there might be another possible use for it – to create super smart humans by enhancing healthy brain function while restoring the learning processes that tend to go on a downward spiral with age.

After recently sending its ships through the Suez Canal for the first time in decades, the Iranian Navy will apparently send ships to establish a “powerful presence” off the East Coast of the United States.
Here’s CNN quoting Iran’s state-run Islamic Republic News Agency: “Commander of the Navy of the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran broke the news about the plans for the presence of this force in the Atlantic Ocean and said that the same way that the world arrogant power is present near our marine borders, we, with the help of our sailors who follow the concept of the supreme jurisprudence, shall also establish a powerful presence near the marine borders of the United States,” the story said. The reference to the “world arrogant power” was presumably intended to refer to the United States.

Note to Russia: Your doomsday weapons need better rollouts if they’re supposed to be scary. The Tuesday debut of an experimental Russian Intercontinental Ballistic Missile went all wrong, when the never-before-seen ICBM variant fell back to Earth shortly after its launch from the Plesetsk cosmodrome. An anonymous Russian military source told state-run news that the test was intended to try out a new warhead for Russia’s new modified ICBMs — the RS-24 and the Topol-M, made by Moscow’s Institute for Thermal Technologies.
“The new multiple warhead section would upgrade the capabilities of this missile to take on future missile defense systems.” Vladimir Yevseyev, Director of Russia’s Center for Public and Political Research, speculated that the missile was upgraded to carry a heavier payload. The extra capability, he said, would allow it to carry a range of counter-missile defense capabilities. Back in March, Russia’s missile designers promised to roll out a brand spanking new ICBM by 2013. Seth's Blog. Omni-ball, crawler, and grippers from Osaka U. Make Eyewear – 3D printed eye glasses.
