The Øblog

/ Guttu / Leave a comment

And here comes the Sunday with another review of a blog. The blog I am talking about is The Øblog. It has a different name and I am still unaware of the meaning of the title. To the best of my knowledge the symbol resembles to a mathematical symbol which is normally used to represent the diameter of a circle. I usually don’t forget things related to maths as I was known to be good at maths. Well.. They say 😉

The author of the blog is Øyvind. And that is another unusual name. After searching a bit I found that that’s a symbol in Danish, Faeroese and Norwegian languages. The domain name suggests where he is from. I checked the about page for some details about the author. Now how old is that guy?? :whistle: Continue reading →

Eye Shaped Camera

/ Guttu / 3 Comments

Human eye is one of the best creations and it’s one of the best part of our body. The best part varies from person to person. The news is about an eye shaped camera which resembles human eye. It was successfully designed by the US scientists using standard sensor materials. Looking at the picture it looks to be an ideal solution for bionic eye.

Eye shaped camera

This is a great boon to those who are blind. This breakthrough should help them to see this beautiful world again. The scientists have said that this could be well used for an artificial retina. I don’t have to tell you how important is this retina for our eyes. It is first time that the camera is demonstrated on curved surface to make it look like human eye. Picture tells us how successful the attempt is.

The surface may well look curved but is made up of very small squares. These tiny squares hold the photo detectors and electronic components. The squares are connected to each other with tiny wires which help the squares to mould into curve surface. It is difficult task to mount the circuit boards on curved surface as they come only in flat shape. The above solution helped to mount the components without breaking them.

Another good use of it may be in the robots. Current generation robots could be improved to a great extent with the use of this eye shaped camera. They will also resemble human beings more precisely. Only time will tell us where this ground breaking invention will lead us. Till that time comes you can keep reading my blog and..

This post contains nothing. It’s posted just to be a part of an event that takes once in in a millennium. The time is now 08/08/08 @ 08:08:08. And that’s something you’ll not be able to see again. If you have missed it then just be a part of this topic. There is no other use of this topic. By the way, you can get this time twice in millennium if your watch is 12 hour based. If your watch is 24 hour based then you’ll get 20:08.

Choose the one you want. In the day or in night. I’ll try to be at both times.

Hostel – With Maternity Ward

/ Guttu / 4 Comments

If college students of both sexes are made to share a hostel, All they would do then is make babies. And you’ll need to setup a Maternity ward near hostel.

These are great words of a person designated as principal of a college in Delhi. I am always striked by the stories about sex. And I believe most of us do get attracted to such stories. I like to read them so as to make me aware of the situation. Current generation, of which I am also a part, is inclined towards casual relationship and casual sex. I have kept myself away from such relations. They are sure to make your life a bit more troublesome.

After making the above statement there was a chaos. The reactions towards the statement were almost all against the principal. Pitty fellow. Due to all pressure around him, he then said it was a “light humor”. Wow!!!!!!! A principal with a sense of humor is greatest gift a college can get. I saw three principals in my college and none of them were having sense of humor. Perhaps we all have moulded the personality of principal as a strict and discipline loving person. But this principal is different. Unfortunately his “light humor” created a “heavy situation”. So it’s better to be in the mould. Continue reading →
