In Memory.

Of Plastic-Memory.

This is post #341, signing off.

Blog is shutting down.

Thanks for reading.

UPDATE 3/8/08

I carefully thought about this blog, and I have an idea.

If Operation: PROfessor SUPERswan (bad name, I know) is to happen next year, and goes by the name of Plastic-Memory, then this blog will function as part of the PROfessor SUPERswan blog.

Don't know what I'm talking about? Watch this space... Well probably next year.

As for me. I think I will have a real blog. The conventional one, where you can write stuff in? Get the link from me, if thou is really interested.

Hopes go through the curve.

Spare me from the bullshit, man.

I should actually start getting used to the anti-climaxes.

Or maybe I should learn to not have faith at home.

What for? Everything is a same result. Everything points back to the same issue I have always been upset with, which no one wants to resolve and therefore I do the part which needs to move or shift.

(World of) World Of Warcraft

Instead of playing MMO, you play an avatar playing an MMO, so it's you in a world of people playing World of Warcraft (I've gone cross-eyed)... Weird services and stuff. Funny crap!

Unease of Heart.

My mind is here but my soul is lost.
Escape from here is what I need.
Fear creeps forward in purest dark.
Why am I not moving?

Instead of clinging on to the past,
I switched to enjoying twisted reality.
No, the heart still denies.
Why am I still not moving?

"Why am I still not moving?"

"Why am I still not moving?"

A Nightmare. Shh...

Movie boredom

Too bored, too lame.

Forgive the latest movies... Which I'd think I can star in. (ROFL)



Damn, I can give Al Pacino a run for his money.



Minus the hair.

Robot Teddy Navigator

On June 3, engineers at iXs Research Corporation unveiled a robotic teddy bear designed to work as a talking car navigation system. The prototype robot stands 30 centimeters (1 ft) tall and has 6 joints in its arms and neck, which it uses to make gestures while providing spoken directions.

The robot bear is also equipped with functions to improve auto safety, such as an alcohol detection sensor embedded in its neck. If it smells booze, the robot confronts the driver, saying, “You haven’t been drinking, have you?” Other sensors detect reckless driving, so if the driver suddenly accelerates or slams on the brakes, the robot says, “Watch out!”

As a bonus feature, the robot bear provides information about nearby landmarks when you stroke its head.

The company hopes to make the robot commercially available next year. “We want to make it more compact,” says CEO Fuminori Yamasaki, “and we’d like to offer a variety of shapes, including other characters and a plain mechanical version.”

Fujitsu has patented the idea of merging car navigation systems with dolls, but it has granted iXs Research Corporation permission to use the patent through a Kawasaki-area project encouraging major corporations to share intellectual property rights with small-to-medium-sized companies.

Probably as bad-ass as a hysterical person next to you when driving, the assortment of functions really make you feel like you're driving next to a really paranoid... WIFE.

Golddigger... Issues.

Her Ad: What am I doing wrong?

Okay, I’m tired of beating around the bush. I’m a beautiful (spectacularly
beautiful) 25 year old girl. I’m articulate and classy. I’m not from New York. I’m looking to get married to a guy who makes at least half a million a year. I know how that sounds, but keep in mind that a million a year is middle class in New York City, so I don’t think I’m overreaching at all.

Are there any guys who make 500K or more on this board? Any wives? Could you send me some tips? I dated a business man who makes average around 200- 250. But that’s where I seem to hit a roadblock. 250,000 won’t get me to central park west. I know a woman in my yoga class who was married to an investment banker and lives in Tribeca, and she’s not as pretty as I am, nor is she a great genius. So what is she doing right? How do I get to her level?

Here are my questions specifically:

- Where do you single rich men hang out? Give me specifics- bars, restaurants, gyms

-What are you looking for in a mate? Be honest guys, you won’t hurt my feelings

-Is there an age range I should be targeting (I’m 25)?

- Why are some of the women living lavish lifestyles on the upper east side so plain? I’ve seen really ‘plain jane’ boring types who have nothing to offer married to incredibly wealthy guys. I’ve seen drop dead gorgeous girls in singles bars in the east village. What’s the story there?

- Jobs I should look out for? Everyone knows - lawyer, investment banker, doctor. How much do those guys really make? And where do they hang out?
Where do the hedge fund guys hang out?

- How you decide marriage vs. just a girlfriend? I am looking for MARRIAGE ONLY

Please hold your insults - I’m putting myself out there in an honest way.
Most beautiful women are superficial; at least I’m being up front about it.
I wouldn’t be searching for these kind of guys if I wasn’t able to match them - in looks, culture, sophistication, and keeping a nice home and hearth.

THE ANSWER
Dear Pers-431649184:

His Response:

I read your posting with great interest and have thought meaningfully about your dilemma. I offer the following analysis of your predicament. Firstly, I’m not wasting your time, I qualify as a guy who fits your bill; that is I make more than $500K per year. That said here’s how I see it.

Your offer, from the prospective of a guy like me, is plain and simple a crappy business deal. Here’s why. Cutting through all the B.S., what you suggest is a simple trade: you bring your looks to the party and I bring my money. Fine, simple. But here’s the rub, your looks will fade and my money will likely continue into perpetuity…in fact, it is very likely that my income increases but it is an absolute certainty that you won’t be getting any more beautiful!

So, in economic terms you are a depreciating asset and I am an earning asset. Not only are you a depreciating asset, your depreciation accelerates! Let me explain, you’re 25 now and will likely stay pretty hot for the next 5 years, but less so each year. Then the fade begins in earnest. By 35 stick a fork in you!

So in Wall Street terms, we would call you a trading position, not a buy and hold…hence the rub…marriage. It doesn’t make good business sense to “buy you” (which is what you’re asking) so I’d rather lease. In case you think I’m being cruel, I would say the following. If my money were to go away, so would you, so when your beauty fades I need an out. It’s as simple as that. So a deal that makes sense is dating, not marriage.

Separately, I was taught early in my career about efficient markets. So, I wonder why a girl as “articulate, classy and spectacularly beautiful” as you has been unable to find your sugar daddy. I find it hard to believe that if you are as gorgeous as you say you are that the $500K hasn’t found you, if not only for a tryout.

By the way, you could always find a way to make your own money and then we wouldn’t need to have this difficult conversation.

With all that said, I must say you’re going about it the right way. Classic “pump and dump.” I hope this is helpful, and if you want to enter into some sort of lease, let me know.

Ouch!

Third-Generation Console?

I'm wondering whether I should spend on a third-gen console.

It's either PS3 or X360 for me, by the way. Definitely not the Wii, since I really need some thrill playing.

Neither platform is that exclusive when it comes to the great games developers are making nowadays. But, there are a whole list of problems when I think about it.

Firstly, these third-gen consoles probably feel too good for our normal televisions. It probably requires HD-technology to make it feel and sound awesome. Now I don't know how much HDTVs cost, but I don't think they are cheap... Yet.

I don't really care about the online option... It's no big deal to me. I'm an average gamer... Probably enough to beat the AI, never good enough to beat human brainpower. But even if I did care, the PS3 would be a better option, since PSNetwork is free (correct me if I'm wrong). That means downloading mods and patching isn't a big deal.

There are a lot of games I want to play actually. Here's a simple list, due to the lack of games made anyway.

1. Ninja Gaiden (1, 2, Sigma. Count as one)
2. GTA IV
3. Final Fantasy XIII (When it does come out)
4. Resident Evil 5 (^^)
5. Devil May Cry 4
6. Ghostbusters
7. Dynasty Warriors 6
8. Splinter Cell - Double Agent
9. Tony Hawk's Project 8

Probably some games are still in production. Almost all of the games are available on the X360 as well.

On pricing, the consoles will probably cost in huge variations, with the PS3 costing at about $600++, and the X360 at about $350 - $400. Huge difference... Could really add to the HDTV part.

And these third-gen consoles are still in its growth phase only (probably for PS3, considering how slow it became popular. The X360 is not too shabby in popularity). Once it hits maturity, prices are bound to drop.

Then on games, prices range from $60- $90. Not cheap at all... One game should really make it last for long.

How how how?!

Or I could just rig up a super computer and miss out on the exclusive console games, wait for some genius to make an emulator, and live happily ever after.

SOMEONE, PLEASE GIVE ME A BUDGET.

My deadline for getting one is probably the end of the year, after I move into a bigger room.

I can't help you to live
