Transformers

I saw the movie, it fun, but I was really displeased with this dialog:

<quote>
Agent Simmons: What you’re about to see is totally classified…
[Project Iceman is reveled: a towering mechanical clossus, imprisoned in a cryogenic chamber]
Keller: [awestruck] Dear God… what is this?
Tom Banachek: We think that when he made his approach over the North Pole our gravitation field screwed up his telemetry and crashed into the ice, probably a few thousand years ago. We shipped him here to this facility in 1934.
Agent Simmons: We call him NBE-1.
Sam Witwicky: I don’t mean to correct you on all that you think you know, but that’s Megatron. He’s the leader of the Decepticons.
Tom Banachek: He’s been in cryo-stasis since 1935. Your great-great-grandfather made one of the greatest discoveries in the history of mankind.
Agent Simmons: Fact is, you’re looking at the source of the modern age. The microchip, lasers, cars, space flight: all reverse-engineered by studying him. NBE-1…
[sneers at Sam]
Agent Simmons: That’s what we call IT!
Agent Simmons: And you didn’t think that the United States Military might need to know that you’re keeping a hostile alien robot frozen in the basement?
Tom Banachek: Until these events we had no credible threats to national security.
Keller: Well, you got one now!

Beeer, more beer, Faster!

Posted on May 15, 2008

Out team developed a system for Molson to automate building pallets with beer order by customers. We’ve already palletized over 250000 cases since the system is up. So now customers will receive exactly what they ordered ( pattern recognition at all ) faster ( less manual work ). This is how I help make the world a better place ;-)

I will try to take a photo next time I’m there, it’s a really nice piece of engineering. It just looks like “The way it supposed to be” — fast, efficient, elegant.
