TEdADYNE Systems: July 2009
http://tedadynes.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2009. Was just watching a news promo where the focus of one of the stories is on a child's bicycle tyre with drugs hidden inside. Have also read (of course) about the drug mini-subs that are being used to run stuff into the US. And I've reflected that all through history there have been various kinds of drug struggles between the eternal triangle of those who source, those who use, and those who prohibit. It's kind of like war. See, I wonder how long before you see (or don't see) flight...

TEdADYNE Systems: Desktops Pigeons And Sociopaths
http://tedadynes.blogspot.com/2010/03/desktops-pigeons-and-sociopaths.html
Thursday, March 4, 2010. Desktops Pigeons And Sociopaths. I never know whether to hug people or punch them - they are both magnificently intelligent, and profoundly stupid, at the same time. In this case - I think a good smacking might be in order. (Metaphorically, all right? I don't actually go around being violent, it's a figure of speech.). The case is this article about desktops being dead. So why does this eagle among reporters immediately descend to the rathole of thick-headedness with this quote?

TEdADYNE Systems: Riding In Smart Smart Cars With A.I.s
http://tedadynes.blogspot.com/2010/03/riding-in-smart-smart-cars-with-ais.html
Monday, March 22, 2010. Riding In Smart Smart Cars With A.I.s. And while you're reading about the A.I.s that may one day exist,. Take a look at what might end up their one Achilles' Heel - the power source. Actually, that article deals with batteries for cars - but then again it could still be right - why wouldn't an AI like to have a car as a body? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

TEdADYNE Systems: October 2009
http://tedadynes.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 13, 2009. E-paper - Not Soft Enough? Much as I have always thought that one day I'd be reading my news and books and stuff on a handheld device, I agree with Brian in his article. It's definitely not the way to go. For everyone that says that LCD screens aren't readable under direct sunlight, I can only say that I also don't. Ever - manage to read a book, paper, or magazine under direct sunlight either. My eyes are the limiting factor here, not the medium. I. For anyone who quotes me adv...

TEdADYNE Systems: January 2010
http://tedadynes.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 26, 2010. Aliens - Why Haven't They Landed? Reading about people like Frank Drake and the SETI organisation,. And the Fermi Paradox,. So our signal is reducing all the time, as seen from space. Other alien civs won't be able to find us. The problem is that "me me me me isn't going to be seen soon" without thinking about the consequences for any SETI efforts. Not that it matters in practical terms, as you'll see. Or just any civilisations? I'll assume that Drake meant any civilisations.

TEdALOG Lite II: April 2010
http://tedalog.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Light thinking for light thinkers. It's what happens when you finally close the ole BBS. Saturday, 10 April 2010. Punk Punk Punk, Punk-punk-punk It Up. When I was in my twenties, I wouldn’t have given you two bob for him. I grew up with folk and country music, and in typical kid fashion, shook it all off for contemporary music, for Pink Floyd and Gong, Master’s Apprentices and Twisted Sister and oh yeah the more pop mainstream stuff of course. But Malcolm McLaren. And the Sex Pistols? At full volume on t...

Monday, April 27, 2009. Aussie Impeller Propels Itself Overseas. I do like this new impeller in this video,. It's quite an achievement. Jay Harman developed it,. Sounds to me like he might be an Aussie. His company PAX Scientific. It also seems to imply that PAX Sci and Jay Harman are not in Oz any more, Toto. You have to love that we give the rest of the world so many good minds and killer developments. Wednesday, April 15, 2009. Head In Clouds, Feet On Ground. And then go *there*. Yeah, totally. An...

TEdADYNE Systems: November 2009
http://tedadynes.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 11, 2009. Restoring Faith In Scientific Methods. I'm trying to work out the "new math" that must be involved with this. There are 10 times more microbial cells associated with adult human bodies. Than there are human cells, so we are 90 percent microbial and 10 percent human," Gordon said. The bacteria can help people digest and absorb food that might otherwise be indigestible. ". And my brane is boggling. Surely he meant " . . . so we are 90.9%. Microbial and 9.1%.

TEdADYNE Systems: June 2009
http://tedadynes.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 9, 2009. So now we're going to get a method to upload your body to a computer. Fair enough, it's just a virtual body, but that's all you need in virtual life. I've already posited that this will happen, and that we'll also get the technology to upload our brains. (Don't ask me when - look wayyyy back in this blog, cos I predicted this wayyyyy back.). So am I going to sit back smugly and say I tolja so? Wednesday, June 3, 2009. The World Just Shook, Microscopically. And with that,.
