Humans Are Robots?

I've read someone else pose this question, and I pose it to you in case you've never thought about it.
Answer it... if you can.
Are humans another life form's robots?

Food In Printer

Wow, I just found a piece of Frosted Flakes cereal in my printer beside my laptop. That may be a sign that I'm eating too many Frosted Flakes.

4:21 AM

It's 4:21 AM, and I'm still awake. To ease my current hunger, I'm eating "1/3 Less Sugar" Frosted Flakes, which seems like a stupid idea because the whole point of Frosted Flakes is the sugar frosting. But I like them because they're less sweet (although maybe not healthier).

The Future?

Here's a "New York Times" article about the growing use of cellphone-readable bar codes. This is already popular in some other countries, like Japan. Basically, imagine bar codes on everything (a prescription for medicine, a movie ticket, a magazine ad, a billboard, a web site, etc.) that can be read by your cellphone (via its camera). When you make your cellphone read a bar code, your cellphone will display information (like text or video) regarding whatever has the bar code. Summarily, much more information (the text and videos on your cellphone) will be more easily accessible while taking up less space (just a printed bar code and the information linked to it stored in a server somewhere).

It seems like a good idea to me - interfacing with the world using our cellphones. Maybe someday technology will become so advanced that we will interface with a virtual world using a surgically implanted plug at the base of our necks. Oh wait, that's "The Matrix" :P

Change Is Good

I'm changing the name of this blog from "The Snod" to something more serious-sounding because I don't think people would ever take "The Snod" seriously enough, and "The Snod" was for fun, not really to be taken seriously. "The Snod" is still alive (I can't escape my last name); it's simply taking a new form.

Great Month

Wow, March 2007 was a great month for The Snod, with more blog posts than any previous month. It reminds me of another great month The Snod had: July 2003. That month was so great that we won an award.

Oh yeah, and happy belated April Fool's Day.
