I think after NYC, HK is my favorite city in the world. Loving the urban pics, but you should definitely venture out of the city towards the New Territories. Hong Kong is a perfect mix of urban and nature.
Would be much cooler if they provided some GPIO pins instead of USB. Would be much easier to implement a bombing module. Press a button on iPod. Pin goes high. Transistor turns on. Tiny motor drops the bomb.
I've done some computer vision stuff for a coaxial helicopter, so I've worked under stricter payload constraints than a quadrotor. From what I've seen, IP cams tend to be bulky, suck more power, and incur more overhead through the network stack. Inst...
Working remotely is a great idea. We use VPN at work to get into the office intranet. Very nice when you're not feeling so great or waiting for deliveries. Although, I've found working from home to be less productive. You don't get the same level of...
Green Tea Kit Kats are delicious. They are unbelievably good frozen. When I couldn't find them again, I thought it was a limited edition thing. Glad they still make them.
I'm guilty of doing this on a couple of occasions... At school, I was range testing a pair of transceivers. Got some weird looks from non-engineering students. While traveling, if I am in need of Internet, I would do a little war walking. For work, I...
I love Aloe Vera and Aloe Vera-flavored Calpis. Original, Strawberry, and Mango Calpis are a close second. Pocari sweat is third. If I want to get fancy, definitely mix up a White Russians or Godiva White Chocolate liqueur. Yum yum.
Looks delicious! Biggest thing I've had was a 10x10 at In-N-Out. That trumps this, but I actually like the taste of BK burgers. I don't think I would mind trying. I think this marketing strategy would be more successful in America. Yum yum.
Women are pretty scary in New York. I can imagine a guy trying to pull this off and getting beat up. Maybe they should make self defense classes mandatory in the Japanese school system.
"Everything in moderation" is the mantra I live by. I prefer a girl to be accepting but at the same time unsupportive of my hobbies. Gives me a nice little reality check.
Wow. Great job to his parents and himself. Don't want to be negative, but I can think of some potential issues in this: 1) Probably not making many friends along the way. The best friends are childhood friends. If you're going to be snobbish and look...
Outsourcing sucks. A great employer plan would be to have a plan where you deposit some money from your pre-tax salary and they would buy a random figure and send it to you every month. It's kind of like SAFS since it's random. And you're not really...
+1 on the no dress code part. Though, occasionally it feels kind of awkward to walk into a meeting in flip-flops, shorts, and a t-shirt while everyone else is wearing a polo, khaki's, and shoes especially with people two/three levels above. Only a l...
Free public transportation. Discounts on tickets for all sorts of stuff. Discounts for a bunch of stores. The biggest benefit is access to the junk pile. After testing sorts out the failed equipment from the working equipment, some of the failed equi...
I think there is some truth to how this guy runs the factory. Nothing puts employees to sleep like a nice comfy chair. Since employees are standing, it forces them to be attentive during meetings. People won't need to reiterate things because someone...
Looks like he's just getting rid of figures and posters. Is he still going to zealously follow the anime community? I don't have that many figures and posters plastered around my room. I'm actually thinking of getting rid of some of them. However, I...
First photo is amazing. Very modern lighting and walls. Not digging the equipment on the floor though and I feel like they can use a nice black la-z-boy in the middle of the room. Placement of the two computers is kind of weird. Love the painting the...
A lot of the higher-level undergrad courses do seem to be easier than the prereqs. I think it's because the prereqs tend to be broader. ECE315 seemed to be the hodgepodge of things you can do with non-linear devices. ECE474, on the other hand, seemed...
