Advanced Step in Innovative MObility
Glad you guys enjoyed the T-Mobile commercial. As I said, its one of my fav adverts on TV right now…it always makes me smile every time I see it.
Kung Fu stick was interesting. Because I already have a decent amount of kung fu experience, it was quite easy to transition to stick…a lot of the moves are the same, although twirling the stick around is quite hard…I almost hit myself several times!!! Ha ha. I need to strengthen my wrist muscles, but I really enjoyed the whole thing…I’ll be trying to do that on Sundays from now on…
It was quite annoying when I came out though. I had parked my car in the multi-storey car park (parking lot…whatever) that was next to the Leisure Centre. Here’s the thing. The Leisure Centre is called “Walnuts”. The Shopping Mall next to it is also called “Walnuts.” And the car park is the “Walnuts car park.”
Are you with me so far?
So when I came out of the leisure centre, imagine my surprise to find the entire car park shut up tight and locked, lights off, everything. I couldn’t get to my car. Apparently the car park closes when the mall closes (at 4:30 pm…my class finished at 5 pm), NOT when the leisure centre closes. When I went to try and find help, the essential response I got was “the leisure centre is unaffiliated with the car park/shopping mall. There’s nothing we can do.”
Which is utter BOLLOCKS. There is no parking for the leisure centre other than the multi-storey car park. And they all have the SAME NAME. W. T. F?
Anyways, long story short I had to wait for my mum to pick me up, and then yesterday morning I had to get there at the crack of dawn in order to retrieve my car, get back home, AND get to work ASAP. I ended up half an hour late to work, which isn’t bad, all things considering. AND I managed to get out of the car park without having to pay the ridiculous overnight fees. WIN! (till Orpington Council track me down… ^^;;; )
Work was kinda crazy, the way they do deliveries now is different. We used to get everything in cardboard boxes, and we never knew what was in what box. now everything arrives in these huge plastic crates and, apparently, they have been packed according to product category, or whatever. It was all a bit manic trying to figure it out.
On Sunday I was watching this TV program about the development of robots, and more specifically the “Man-Machine Interface.”
Part of the program did a little piece on Honda’s ASIMO robot, which I LOVE. I think ASIMO is about thirty different types of awesome. So I went a trawling the net, and this commercial pretty much sums up how awesome ASIMO is (even though it doesn’t show case his full range of abilities…and he has a lot!)
I think parts of that commercial are CG, and the rest of it ASIMO is under remote control, but his autonomous functions are pretty amazing. And even when you boil it down to his simple mobility…being able to run and climb stairs…ASIMO is quite literally a step towards the dream of a society where the robots of sci-fi become a reality. (and a step closer to the robot revolution…maybe? Ha ha!)
This got me to thinking that Luna is a sort of cousin to ASIMO, bein’ both Honda Machines an’ all…
And so doodles ensued.
I doodled this next one whilst listening to Blackmore’s Night’s “Under a Violet Moon.”
Lyrics read “raise your hat and your glasses too, we will dance the whole night through, we’re going back to a time we knew, Under a Violet Moon…”
Work on my STEEL NATION epilogue is going smoothly. I'm about half way done, maybe…perhaps a bit less.
Anyways, I leave you with this video. I thought it kinda cute.
