MIT Online Course Materials

http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/home/home/index.htm

Ironically I found this over at Anime News Network. :V

I think its nice that even though MIT can't accept anyone but the best, they still provide their education to the general public. At least some of their past lectures, anyway. As they stated in the "about" section, you can't earn a degree from overviewing this stuff but I think its the knowledge that's important (or at least that's what they're trying to convey), not the degree.

I'll have to look into some of the notes later when I have time!

Megumi and May'n

OH MY GOD I THINK I NEED TO BUY MEGPOID GUMI NOW.


HO SHIIIEORU(RE#R!!!!!

Ice Cream

Cameos 4?

All these were true excuses used by the same person. (At least from what I remembered, minor details might not be the same but the general idea is there)

Yucky Politics Stuff

Hmm this is becoming quite fail. I wonder if in the future I can move to China or something. Need to improve my language skills though. :(

Virtual Reality

http://news.sciencemag.org/sciencenow/2010/05/scienceshot-a-virtual-reality-bo.html

I thought this was pretty interesting considering I was reading "Sword Art Online" not too long ago, which (although having its moments of cheesiness) seems to try to revolve around this issue.

Cameos 3

8 Person Chorus: YowaiMushi Mont Blanc

A good GUMI song requires a good chorus!

EDIT: As a side note, there was recently a Vocaloid song posted about "Xiao Long Bao", which is a really popular Shanghai dimsum dish (it seems that people here call them Juicy Dumplings...? :V) The song is pretty bad so I didn't post it, but....


WELL props for them to making a video about... xiao long bao. :V

Terahertz Lens

Thomas's glasses could sure use a couple of these.

Hai School Days

YAY GUMI \o/

Yuki vs. G

What the HECK

This is amusing, in a weird kind of way... it certainly makes me laugh.

Maybe not Yuki, but the other guy... REALLY

Patenting Web Publishing

People that don't know neuroscience probably don't know who this guy is.

Well, his ideas are interesting but yea... patenting? Hmm.

Don't know yet.

Mell @ AX

I DIDN'T HAVE TO GO TO OTAKON TO SEE HER AFTER ALL :D :D :D :D :D

好きだよ＠ミクさん 【オリジナル/初音ミク+Append】

Daiyo~ne!

Seemingly, the first append song I really like! :D Or decently like.

グリグリメガネと月光蟲 【初音ミクdark】

Apparently the most popular append song right now? Most unfortunately there haven't been any good append songs out yet so... oh well.

"GuriGuriMegane to " Moonlight bug. Judging by the video this "Moonlight bug" is probably something like a moth. :V

I have no idea what this gurigurimegane is though. Spinning glasses?!?!?

Bacterial Computing

This is pretty interesting!

http://kotaku.com/5531775/why-ecoli-bacteria-is-better-than-your-computer

I have no idea how it relates to gaming, though. :V

Sengoku Rance (unfinished)

Man, Souun is so much cooler than Rance. Why do we have to control this stupid crazy guy that wants to make everyone enemies and not the cool guy. :(

Cameos 1

This is not a comic making fun of me believing socializing == EFZ.

No really.

...Maybe. :V

Graphene is Awesome

http://sciencewatch.com/dr/nhp/2010/10maynhp/10maynhpLin/

Clearly, somewhere down the line, there will be a Graphene-tan which we can moe over.

Yes I know that has nothing to do with Graphene itself but GRAPHENE!

(Vocaloid miki) More Proof that...

It's the producers that make a song sound good, not necessarily the Vocaloid (which in this respect, is more like an instrument than anything else).

I think I stated before that I thought miki wasn't a very good vocaloid, because she sounded too much like Miku. But, there have been (as I posted before) many good Miku songs, therefore there's no reason that miki wouldn't have any good songs either! (And not just with the help of Yuki and Miku in one other very other good song...)

Consequently, this means of course that even the 1st generation vocaloids can sound good under the right producer... which, maybe, they can, although I still think those are significantly poorer in quality than the more modern vocaloids. That, and Ren for whatever reason I have never heard a really good song with him... WELL IT COULD JUST BE MY FEMALE PREFERENCE BIAS, I SUPPOSE.
