I think she likes your blue fingernails

=))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Oooh wow fishy, how so very stylish! That looks perrrrrrrrrfect on you! =D

You guys - lol!

Very interesting idea, but I'm not really impressed by the music it generates.

Thanks for the tip, Aasemoon - I liked it so much - http://www.jackdlogan.com/music/winduino_II.html - surely, the Aeolian harp must have been the way humans first learned about pitched sound; in its original form - "Aeolian harps in literature and music Aeolian harps are featured in at least two Romantic-era poems, "The Aeolian Harp" and "Dejection, an Ode", both by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. In William Heinesen's novel The Lost Musicians set in Tórshavn, Kornelius Isaksen takes his three sons to a little church where, in the tower, they sit listening to the 'capriciously varying sounds of an Aeolian harp', which leads the boys into a lifelong passion for music. Aeolian harps are mentioned in Vladimir Nabokov's classic Lolita. A lyre is mentioned in Percy Bysshe Shelley's "Ode to the West Wind" which is another name for an Aeolian Harp. An aeolian harp is featured in Ian Fleming's 1964 children's novel Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to make a cave seem haunted. Henry Cowell's Aeolian Harp (1923) was one of the first piano pieces ever to feature extended techniques on the piano which included plucking and sweeping the pianist's hands directly across the strings of the piano. The Etude in A flat major for piano (1836) by Frédéric Chopin (Étude Op. 25, No. 1 (Chopin)) is sometimes called the "Aeolian Harp" etude, a nickname given it by Robert Schumann. The piece features a delicate, tender, and flowing melody in the fifth finger of the pianist's right hand, over a background of rapid pedaled arpeggios. One of Sergei Lyapunov's 12 études d'exécution transcendante, Op.11 No.9, is named by the author "Harpes éoliennes" (aeolian harps). In this virtuoso piece, written between 1897 and 1905, the tremolo accompaniment seems to imitate the sounding of the instrument. Young Thomas at work on his harp. In 1972, Chuck Hancock and Harry Bee recorded a giant 30 foot

Cool... glad you like this Jack! =) It amazed me quite a bit too...

Slightly hard to believe for me....

The Nippon Institute of Technology, with Harada Vehicle Design, ZMP, and ZNUG Design, have developed a humanoid robot about the size of an elementary school student for educational purposes.  The university adopted 35 of ZMP's e-nuvo WALK robots in 2004 for a 1:1 student-robot ratio.  Whereas the e-nuvo WALK (the educational version of NUVO) is quite small, the new robot is tall enough to interact with its environment in a more meaningful way.  Students will demonstrate the robot at elementary and junior high schools, as well as care facilities.  The goal is to improve student learning by raising awareness of bipedal robot technology and its connection to math and physics, while also giving them hands-on experience with the bot.  Additionally, by visiting care facilities the university students will come to understand the real-world needs and applications for robots.\nThe e-nuvo HUMANOID stands 126cm (4′) tall and weighs 15kg (33 lbs), with 21 degrees of freedom (2 legs x6, 2 arms x3, head x3), powered by a Lithium Ion battery.  It is equipped with the usual sensors including cameras, accelerometers, gyro sensors, obstacle detection sensors, distance sensors, and peizoelectric sensors, and can be controlled via PC or remote controller.  Besides basic speech capabilities, the robot can serve as a kind of teacher's assistant, since it has a built-in projector which will allow it to display diagrams on a blackboard that might be difficult to explain in words alone.  The robot will be programmed using Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio, which the students have been using to test control algorithms for the e-nuvo WALK robots
