WABOT-2, An 80s Robot that Rocked the Synth Retromodo]

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 10:17:00 PDT
In the 80s, the only things bigger than man-perms were robots and synthesizers. Waseda University's WABOT-2 combined both of these trends in to what may be considered the ultimate 80s icon. Extremely advanced for the day, the WABOT-2 could not only read music to play the electronic organ, but accompany a singer with a dynamic tempo and then hold a conversation after the performance. It's good to know that over 20 years later with all the advancements in microprocessors, Man was able to realize

Twitter-storm: Blaine leaves, blame flies

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 10:20:40 PDT
If you need any proof that Twitter is the hot topic in the blogosphere at the moment, all you have to do is look at the volume of blog posts about the service — and related services such as Tweetscan and Twist (Twitter trends) — on sites like TechCrunch. The latest brushfire has to do with the departure of Blaine Cook as the outage-plagued service’s chief architect. Mike Arrington says that it’s obvious that he failed to scale the service properly, and therefore it’s a good thing he’s gone (and

Ha Noi - World cheer bard�s birthday







Viet Nam News, Vietnam

Ha Noi, world
cheer bard�s birthday


(22-04-2008)








Bloody good show: A
scene from the play Macbeth by artists from the Youth Theatre. �

HA NOI � Ha Noi�s Youth
Theatre will join in a worldwide celebration tomorrow of William Shakespeare�s
444th birthday with a performance of an abridged version of the Bard�s famous
Scottish play, Macbeth.


The international event,
entitled Shakespeare 24, is an extraordinary worldwide day of performance
organised by the Shakespeare School Festival in London.


The festival is a unique arts
education initiative which enables young people to perform abridged productions
of Shakespeare�s most famous plays in their local professional
theatres.


Kicking off in New Zealand and
ending 24 hours later in Hawaii, 65 youth theatres and school groups from 35
countries will stage abridged plays at 7pm in their respective time zones on
Wednesday, April 23, Shakespeare�s birthday.


From Mexico to Malawi, Russia
to Rio, the cultural baton will be passed around the world in a day.


In England, the city of
Liverpool, 2008�s "Capital of Culture," is a Shakespear 24 event partner
and will broadcast highlights of the performances.


Receiving the invitation from
the organising board last year, Ha Noi�s Youth Theatre artists have a rare
opportunity to revive a classic play.


Macbeth, written by Shakespeare in 1606-07, is a story of
murderous ambition set in 11th century Scotland.


The Youth Theatre production
tomorrow is based on the production staged by veteran director Le Hung in 2002
and given 68 performanes, including at festivals in Beijing and Shanghai in 2003
and 2005, said the theatre�s deputy director, Truong Nhuan.


The production was
enthusiastically received in China, Nhuan said, especially due to the Asian
theatrical motifs used in the scene depicting the death of Macbeth�s
wife.


"The play is very Vietnamese
in character because director Le Hung used dances from Vietnamese tuong
(classical opera)," Nhuan said.


In the play�s title role,
actor Anh Tu said, "I�m very enthusiastic to play Macbeth as I have played in
many other classic plays from around the world and Viet Nam. I am very proud to
play this role and I try to express the character of Macbeth, who is very
talented but overly ambitious. I like the cause and effect of the play." �

Obama or Clinton vs. McCain: Thank God for Howard Dean

It's Howard Dean. The Pennsylvania primary results make me nervous.
