Olympics in Greece

Canada finally got a 2nd medal, it's silver from Karen Cockburn in women's trampoline. Canada is doing really bad in this Olympics, I think it might be worse ever. Our swimming athletes did terrible as former Olympic gold medalist in swimming Mark Tewksbury told CBC's Brian Williams.

More info on the Olympics:

With regards to swimming, can you believe Michael Phelps of the US has like 7 medals now. Even though he didn't beat Mark Spitz's record of 8 gold medals, that still is an amazing feat. Why doesn't Canada have a swimmer like Phelps, our only really good swimmer we had was Alex Baumann and Victor Davis from the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles.

On another note, I just found out in Toronto that today is the opening of the Olympic Spirit entertainment venue which is supposed to showcase all the stuff about the Olympics, with sport simulators and make you feel you are in the Olympic games and how the athletes feel. More info here. I definitely would like to go here.

Hopefully, we can improve and Canada can get some medals in rowing, track and field and other sports. Go Canada go!

PhD Research

I am trying to develop a PhD thesis topic, I have some ideas but I need to choose something to form a research paper as a precursor to the PhD thesis. I have many ideas on this in pervasive computing.

Perhaps what I need to do is to instead deciding what grand PhD thesis topic to do, I should focus on what I really like to do, what I would want to investigate on, and then concentrate on one of the problems and issues that need to be addressed. Start small and then eventually add more stuff to become the PhD thesis. I always have a tendency to do something big, instead of doing small sized chunks.

This is my first blog!

Today, Palm finally released their Wi-Fi SD card. But it's only available for Zire 72 and Tungsten T3. That really sucks! Why does Palm do this, and don't support the older models?
