Acute Wiiitis


To the Editor: A healthy 29-year-old medical resident awoke one Sunday morning with intense pain in the right shoulder. He did not recall any recent injuries or trauma and had not participated in any sports or physical exercise recently. He consulted a rheumatology colleague. The Patte's test was positive, consistent with acute tendonitis isolated to the right infraspinatus.

After further review of his activities during the previous 24 hours, the patient recalled that he had bought a new Nintendo Wii (pronounced "wee") video-game system and had spent several hours playing the tennis video game. With the Wii system, the player faces a video screen and moves a handheld controller (approximately 14.5 cm by 3.0 cm by 3.0 cm, with a weight of approximately 200 g) containing solid-state accelerometers and gyroscopes that sense three-dimensional spatial movements. In the tennis video game, the player makes the same arm movements as in a real game of tennis. If a player gets too engrossed, he may "play tennis" on the video screen for many hours. Unlike in the real sport, physical strength and endurance are not limiting factors.

Jimmy Wales and I have two things in common

nytimes

Topic he won’t bring up at parties: I have zero interest in sports of any kind — professional, college or international. If that topic comes up, I nod and try to look polite.

Guilty pleasure: Playing Scrabble on Facebook. I do that when I am supposed to be working.

Who says the rules from the old testament aren't relevant today?

Deuteronomy 25:11-12

When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets:

Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her.

Escape from Plocica island



I think I'm the first one to make it back to the US. It's amazing how you can go from random island in the Adriatic to your house in San Francisco in a day in a half by just random guys motorboat, other random guy's car, bus, ferry, bus, 8 hour stay in random old lady's house in Dubrovnik, bus, airplane, airplane, gypsy cab.

I don't I've been so relaxed since I was a little kid. For the first time I was walking down the street and people were passing me.

I don't think I went 10 days without checking my email since 1998. Scary.

Squirrel goes on rampage, injures 3 Thu Jun 14, 10:42 AM ET



BERLIN (Reuters) - An aggressive squirrel attacked and injured three people in a German town before a 72-year-old pensioner dispatched the rampaging animal with his crutch.

The squirrel first ran into a house in the southern town of Passau, leapt from behind on a 70-year-old woman, and sank its teeth into her hand, a local police spokesman said Thursday.

With the squirrel still hanging from her hand, the woman ran onto the street in panic, where she managed to shake it off.

The animal then entered a building site and jumped on a construction worker, injuring him on the hand and arm, before he managed to fight it off with a measuring pole.

"After that, the squirrel went into the 72-year-old man's garden and massively attacked him on the arms, hand and thigh," the spokesman said. "Then he killed it with his crutch."

The spokesman said experts thought the attack may have been linked to the mating season or because the squirrel was ill.

In the next few weeks, hundreds of thousands of baby seals will be cruelly clubbed or shot-an annual harp seal slaughter endorsed by the Canadian government. Scores of baby seals, some as young as three weeks old, will be beaten or shot and left to die. Some will even be skinned alive.StoptheSealHunt.org ( http://www.kintera.org/TR.asp?ID=M7248921213750492142285765 ) is your number one resource to stay up to date on what's happening at this year's hunt and to meet other seal activists from around the world.The new interactive site features a Seal Hunt blog with daily updates from Canada, audio podcasts, and videos and photos from IFAW hunt monitors at the scene of the hunt. You'll also receive information on how to take action as well as multiple ways to enlist others to support our fight against this inhumane practice.

"Your date's over, mister"

It looked for all the world as if the couple on a date -- he was darkly handsome and a little older than the pretty, petite blonde with the Russian accent -- were having a great time together.
"A really great time," their waitress, Karri Cormican, recalled thinking. "She was facing him, had one of her legs up on the bench seat." Good body language.
So it came as a shock when after the woman left the window-side table to visit the restroom, Cormican saw the man shake a white powder into the Hefeweizen beer he had ordered for his date.

Katamari Damacy creator doesn't hate everything

This is interesting to me, because I honestly thought this guy hated everything. Why not make Katamari for Wii?! Wiimote is the greatest development since the Power Glove!

from http://www.boingboing.net/2007/03/15/new_katamari_damacy_.html

When you read translated interviews with Takahashi in the American press, you get the impression that he brashly hates everything. In reality, this is only partially true. He's actually pretty shy person, and you quickly realize it's not "I hate everything", but honest, thoughtful opinion — his vision is so specific, and many things don't live up to his expectations and their potential. What also doesn't come across in the press is his dry sense of humor and mischievousness — his critiques are generally said with a sly smile and a laugh, as if he knows he's being marginally ridiculous by admitting, for example, that he didn't really like Mother 3.

That's not to say I have him fully figured out. We know he has a low tolerance for anyone who takes the "safe road". So, you'd think he'd be a huge fan of the convention-shunning Nintendo Wii system, right? Wrong! He's currently playing the GameCube version of Twilight Princess, intentionally avoiding the Wii version! Why? Who knows! The lesson? Takahashi will keep you guessing, but in a good way: you'll be suprised, confused, and delighted, just like when you play his games.

Robosapien movie


I tried to post earlier about robosapiens, "flame throwers" (much weaker than it sounds) and coil guns to no avail - youtube videos don't seem to work since blogger accounts were all googlified.

There is going to be a robosapien movie though - directed by Avi Arad - the producer of Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3; X-Men: The Last Stand; Ghost Rider; The Hulk; Daredevil; The Punisher; Elektra; and Fantastic Four. He is the executive producer of Spider-Man; X-Men and X2: X-Men United; Blade, Blade II and Blade: Trinity.

Secret blogs

It is past 10 on a friday night and I am posting about some blogs. One secret blog that has recently come to light is http://mikelove.wordpress.com/2007/01/. Another secret blog is http://boccebragadoccio.blogspot.com/. The final secret blog is unbeknownst to me. But I will keep you loyal readers posted.

Bad press, new blog

So after this blog got emailed out to all my coworkers, I had another embarrassing work thing happen where I got a lot of negative press on tech crunch and other blogs. You can check out the video: www.techcrunch.com/2007/02/12/powerhype-at-powerset. The upshot is that I realized that I need a blog that I can point people to that is not this one :). I haven't been showing it to many people yet, but you can check it out at www.artificial-artificial-intelligence.com. Leave some comments and tell me what you think!

Privacy

So my CEO, Barney, emailed out that last post to the whole company. But you know what? I'm glad. Yesterday I was reading my coworker's blogs and I was like wow, I have connections with them that I never would have known about. I don't want to be a different person at work and with my friends. So there it is. And here's another picture of me looking like an idiot in Costa Rica, with two ladies who run the Sigma Squared salon in Victoria, CA. (www.sigma2.ca).
