Very nice. Thanks Kei.

Michele made this girl roll her eyes crazily while she was making japanese-style moans ;-) it's pretty good. I've just bought Canon G9, hope it works. This is in addition to the Zorky 4 cam that i am carrying now, which i lost the skill to operate and already ripped my first film out of the cartridge ;-/ In old times it wouldn't be a problem for me to take the film out and rewind it in a dark room, but these days.. I wonder if I can even find an empty cartridge anywhere these days.
Zorky-4

Yeah sure.

This one is strictly for dental experiments:

Here's the demo of dynamic balancing by a Sarcos humanoid robot given during Humanoids 2007 conference here in Pittsburgh last week. This is one of our professors (Chris Atkeson) and my classmate in the background!


And here is a similar work on the very similar Sarcos in Japan's ATR: movie

Day 7, Hanabi, Day 8 Aikido

So first week is gone in a blink. Damn. Went to see hanabi at edogawa though was cool. Took 3 attempts to get the right train, each error had to be fixed by returning to the original station. Nice, and this is under the guidance of a local.


Went to the famous Honbu Dojo today. So here comes the list of thins NOT to do to survive your fist visit in Japanese dojo.
DO NOT be barely on time.
DO NOT ask the first guy where is the entrance to the dojo from the locker room to find out that he is a 50 year old blackbelt with two fresh cut scars on his cheek.
DO NOT get another blackbelt as your partner and stick to him for whole session (actually that wasn't bad)
but DO NOT drop your blackbelt partner so that his head bounces from your knee.

Day 5: down with cold but nanpa must go on

Inflated the gymnic ball today to add it to the 2 other balls that guys have been already using in the lab. "You've got the biggest ball in the lab". "Why, thank you."
