When it comes to adventure, robots are far off. I had posted a crazy adventures of bird men. Adventure is different human nature. Imagine your coffee serving robot thinking of doing some adventure... NO WAY!
The inventor of the following personal helicopter could have controlled it from remote control, it would be no fun to see a machine flying. So, he likes to get a ride into it.
Do not try it at Home!!!

Trying g-Chrome in Ubuntu with Flash enabled
What makes Chrome attractive is its speed and sleek look.
The Chrome for Windows has picked up its grab of users (and counting...), the reason is very obvious.
Today, I was playing with the Google Chrome on Ubuntu , and eventually got the "beta" version installed (Named Chromium). Even though it is named as "unstable-Chrome", It is pretty much stable for me, for now.
I added
to the command line and Bingo! it is youtube playable.
Oh well, the bing search just crashed!
... the youtube too!
hitting F5 key reloaded it and is now OK. (Ha ha what a live reporting!)
Few crashes are OK ;) that is what beta is supposed to do!
Now I am going to have some fun...
See the screenshots below:
Using Chrome for general purpose is still not recommended since it has privacy issues...

In Case of Emergency (ICE)
Last year, one of my friend suddenly felt dizziness. The condition got worse that we all prepared to get him into emergency. While we were doing so, I wanted to call his wife. I looked by her name into his cell, I could not get her number. He must have put under some kinda nick name.
I could not find it.
Imagine a situation when you needed help from stranger in such condition, s/he had to dial your relative or contact person. Surely, they do not have idea on what to do with your cell contacts. You can have hundreds of 'em.
The solution is to have one contact number added as ICE (in case of emergency).
Nobody knows when you may need help!
I think the cell software should be designed in such a way that user has to (optional) enter the ICE number when used for the first time. Having ICE on mobile can be helpful.
Helpful, especially when someone wants to get help for you.

This article suggests the idea of having same acronym in different companies, bringing uniformity in it's use.
