Placebo – Meds
r3dux | December 18, 2011Had this song stuck in my head on-and-off for the last five days. Maybe this will exorcise it…
Good track, good vid – I think I prefer the running up that hill Kate Bush cover and The Bitter End, as songs, but this is still very engaging.
I actually first heard this track in the soundtrack for SSX 3 (best snowboarding game that exists – including up to 2011) on the PS2 instead of on getting a Placebo album – but there you go… I guess any press is good press – and it turns our they’re making a new SSX (trailer) to be released in 2012 – hope it’s good!
Best AI Class Quiz Evah!
r3dux | December 10, 2011Just doing the Stanford AI class unit 20 (Robotics II) where Sebastian’s talking about Monte Carlo localisation when we got to this quiz and I burst out laughing…

If you actually watch the videos (part 1, part 2, part 3) then it all does make sense and isn’t too difficult to get your head around – I just thought it was funny that he’s asking “Do you understand what I’ve just told you?” =D
SPOILER-ALERT: The correct answer is “yes”! Lol! I don’t think I’ll get into too much trouble w/ the honour code for that =P
Chas n’ Dave – Snooker Loopy
r3dux | November 11, 2011My lovely wife just got me another bouncy-ball for the collection (power-ball, if you’re American), and it’s brown with a monkey face on it. So, as you do, I asked her how many points you score for the brown in snooker – and she hadn’t a clue. So love, this is for you
Pot the reds then, screw back
for the yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black!
Funny stuff – hadn’t thought of that in years… Also, quality dubbing! Ha!
