The Itch to Write

Sooooo.. I'm not supposed to be here blogging. But I've been refraining myself too long a time I felt I've accumulated a whole lot of toxins in my body if I keep stopping myself from doing what I've been wanting to do since a few weeks ago. And since I thought that would've been a disgrace to cause myself harm by not allowing the 'Qi' to flow as it wants, I'm thus here to purge my mind. :) Phew! What a whole lot of words for an opener of a blog entry!! -.-

Anyway. I forgot to mention about the Honors Conference two months ago. So here's a photo of me presenting my senior capstone project on Brain-Computer Interface. It's one of requirements of the Kellogg's Honors College, all graduating seniors have to do it. Mine's about this really cool procedure, or rather a technology, of inserting a chip in one's brain which will pick up the electrical impulses from the cortex of the brain and sends the information to the computer to be processed and analyzed, converting them to signals to operate electrical appliances or computer programs connected to that computer. This is really helpful for the paraplegic patients for them to gain control of their lives to a certain extent, by using this technology to control movements of computer cursors, switching on and off lights, TV, etc. Well there's more to it, but that's basically the main idea of it.

On a side note, did you know that John Harvey Kellogg, the guy who came up with Kellogg's cereal that we eat all the time was a medical doctor who was once a strong advocate of sexual abstinence and zealous campaigner against masturbation? He actually believed that the more sex you have, the more your health will deteriorate. And!!! He believed that eating a healthy diet, especially one with lots of grains and wheat, will reduce sexual desires!!! Hence the creation of Kellogg's cornflakes!!! No kidding! Don't believe me? google him.

Umm. I know this is random. But there's this fly that's in my room all the time and it just won't go away! Irritating the heck outta me. grrr. :( ooooh. I moved out from the campus residence! Am renting a room near my internship workplace, living with my landlady. :) Pictures of my room will be up, either after or before my graduation and california tour posts. Right on. stopping here, will write bout my graduation and cali tour with my parents. soon! :P
