A New Kind of Robot

FOX News reported a really neat new kind of robot unveiled by Pentagon Researchers. It looks like something out of a science fiction movie. It's half solid and half liquid. It has the ability to change not only its shape, but also has the ability to change it's consistency. It does this by a process called "jamming". "Jamming is simply introducing air into a membrane that's filled with particulate matter— BBs, if you will. The plan is that this robot would go where other robots can't go, because it can change from a solid to a liquid-like state." They are hoping that this will one day save lives out in the battlefield.

Good News About the Swine Flu

It looks like the worst is over... according to FOX News Report last night. (Oct. 8, 2009) This strain of flu was actually a milder one compared to the seasonal influenza that makes its way each year. Although the vaccine is limited at the moment, they expect few people will actually get it. Good news is that there will be plenty for those who want it anyway.

Feel Good Movie

I haven't had time to do my research for this blog lately, and so I decided to post my pick of movie for the day. I haven't had a chance to see FAME, but last weekend I had the opportunity to see Tyler Perry's movie entitled, I Can Do Bad All By Myself. I have to admit that this was my first Tyler Perry movie I have ever seen and so I was skeptical at first. However, it turned out to be such a great movie!! I am thankful that there are producers out there who can still make good wholesome quality movies with good messages. I loved the musical numbers and actually got teary-eyed many times throughout the movie.
