Japan unveils "robot suit" that enhances human power
Link. I now know what I want for Christmas.
Today has been rather uneventful, except for seeing an article saying that the Senate Intelligence Committee has moved to further the Patriot Act, and has only discussed it in secret hearings, no less. IMO, hearings and discussion on legislation should never be behind closed doors held in secret without records available to the general public, especially considering legislation that would make even more acts of the government be possible without ANY judicial oversight ("administrative" subpoenas : i.e. "I'm the FBI and I want a subpoena without having to demonstrate anything to anyone and I'll make it a crime for anyone involved to talk about such seizures and gatherings of information" subpoenas). Link in the edit of original hurried blog post for people to know about the Patriot Act.
I actually woke up early, instead of sleeping in until like 10am or 1pm, as I have the last few days. I am feeling much better, and I will most likely not die before taking quantum, so no worries Nick ;). Apparently, I need to do laundry, and I found out that laundromats are really really scarce around here. Looks like I'll be parading through the streets of Zagreb with all my dirty laundry. Ha. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha...ha....ha.....*drag*... *drag*... *mopeful noise*.
Will have pictures soon to see reaction of Croatians to American tourist with dirty laundry and camera.
