I watched the movie “Super Size Me” last Friday, and I’m already grossed out by the nutrient value of the McDonald’s food. Today I saw this news saying that the company is trying a new project that may bring more customer visits…
The new project: DVD rental @ McDonald.
Added couple more pix to my photolog
I just saw another news about Honda’s Asimo robots. Asimo is so amazing. Two video clips shows how Asimo can walk up and down stairs, and how it can balance itself with only one foot on the floor.
Blogger has a new face! Yeah!
The best of all is that now readers can make comments to blogger posts. It’s something that I have been waiting for a long time.
Here is how if you already have a blogger set up.
Too sexy for Italian television: “After decades of weather bulletins presented by military colonels in full uniform, Italian television got its first weather girls last September.”
I can’t imagine that this is actually happening in Italy. I didn’t know that the Italian media was very conservative about the pretty girls in an everday TV show. Who would watch the weather report if it is reported by some average joe in the military uniform?
Yesterday night I revised my FOAF file. I’ve combinded my SOUPA/CoBrA profile with the FOAF file.
In the past I was convinced that a good practice in writing OWL documents is to make sure that the documents can pass the RDF/OWL validations. Recently I start to think otherwise. Maybe information expressed in OWL can useful even if their representation do not strictly adhere to the semantic constructs enforced by the validators. Maybe it is sufficient just to require the expressed information to have well-formed XML/RDF syntax constructs. An obvious reason is that it requires relatively less effort to develop SW applications that work with information that does not pass the OWL-DL validation.
Another example is the representation of the machine generated FOAF files. They are popular and have been used in a number of FOAF applications. However, they do not pass the OWL-DL validation.
My Second Gmail Report:
I was unable to send a ~700 MB attachment through Gmail. Based on the Gmail FAQ, both incoming and outgoing messages have a 10 MB size limit. This proves Kurt’s hypothesis (one can send/receive DVD rips or CD images through Gmail) to be false.
Went out bar hopping yesterday with the boys in Towson. It was pretty fun. It’s good to be back in the Towson college scene. Yes, we are getting older. Pretty much all the boys are planning to get married this or next year. Nevertheless, it was still fun to watch people in the bars and to think back the stuff that we have done when we were undergrads. 
Today I feel a bit tired. Probably it is because my alcohol tolerance has gone down. Damn it. I hate getting old.
