Keep your journal in a RedNotebook
,----[ Quote ]
| Writing in a journal or diary, where you may
| pour your heart out for no oneâs eyes but your
| own, can be an intensely personal experience.
| Writing longhand in a paper notebook used to
| be standard practice for journal writing, but
| most people nowadays type faster than they
| write, and digital text is easier to search.
| But finding a journal application that suits
| your sense of style is just as personal a
| decision as finding the right notebook in
| which to write. When Jendrik Seipp couldnât
| find what he was looking for in a journal app,
| he began coding his own, and that became
| RedNotebook.

Open Source Robotics Venture Shows the Way Forward
,----[ Quote ]
| First, look at the team behind it. Willow Garage founded by Scott Hassan (one
| of the designers of the original Google search engine) has set out to develop
| both the hardware and software for personal robots unlike any previous
| venture. By promoting an open source and open platform approach they are
| pulling in ideas and assistance from specialists in North America and Europe.

The Year of the Linux-powered Robots
,----[ Quote ]
| In the very near future, robots will become an indispensable tool that man
| canât live without. Just like computers, it will do complicated and
| challenging tasks thus making things a lot easier for all of us.
|
| We all know that majority of personal computers are still running Microsoft
| Windows operating system and that the year of the Linux desktop is still far
| from reality. However, many experts believe that in the field of Robotics,
| itâs going to be a whole different ball game. Soon, Linux-powered robots will
| dominate the market and will lead the new age of technology.

5 Awesome Robot Kits to Get You Started with Robotics
,----[ Quote ]
| Every geeks dream is to have a personal robot that can be programmed to
| perform various tasks. If you have seen Tony Stark's robotic assistants in
| the movie Iron Man then you probably know what I mean. But unlike in movies,
| today's robots are not as advanced or still have limited capabilities.
| However, time will come that they will become more sophisticated and more
| useful than they are now.
