I thought this was a pretty interesting chart. It shows you what happens in the world of technology in just 60 seconds:

Very cool video showing how a mechanical watch is made (in this case the Seiko Ananta – a premium mechanical watch from Japan).

US Data Consumption

This is an interesting figure that I found showing how much data the U.S. consumes in one day. This is based off research done by UCSD.

I just had a chance to view this great lecture with Steve Ballmer discussing the future of technology and innovation. This video is available through Stanford’s ECorner Site. The second half of the video (the question and answer session) is especially interesting.

Tech Jobs

Everyone knows the job market it tough right now (especially in the financial sector). But it seems that the tech sector is not faring much better. I recently came upon this scorecard on news.com of tech layoffs (the list is anything but short). On the bright side there are a few tech companies who are still hiring.

Graduation Day!!!

Roye — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 05:09:36 +0000

Today I graduated from CU Boulder with my Masters in Electrical and Computer Engineering (along with certificates in Software Engineering and Engineering Management)! The commencement ceremony (held at the CU Boulder Coors Event Center) was pretty cool and luckily we had pretty good weather. Some pictures from the event are shown below.

Database Project

Roye — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 03:39:44 +0000

For my database class I had to create an database application using Adobe’s Flex framework (which uses Flash, PHP and MySQL to create “expressive web applications”). I also created a corresponding Adobe Air application for the desktop. To check it out click on the “Projects” tab in the menu bar.

Innovative Parking Garage Signs?

These are some amazing parking garage signs developed by Axel Peemoeller. Peemoeller worked out the math to create, optically, directional signs that appear to hang in the air.

Randy Pausch Last Lecture: Achieving Your Childhood Dreams

The “Last Lecture” by Prof. Randy Pausch (who passed away today from cancer): YouTube link. This is easily one of the most inspiring and insightful lectures I have ever watched.
