3rd April 2012 iCub The Robot & The Lone Penguin

April 03A
iCub, The guitar player ~
The 2 year old Android boy iCub has learned quite a bit of music, and can now even compose some electronic rhythms. The scientists in Barcelona has been trying to equip him with the minimum conscientiousness and social abilities. An automaton that has the stature of a 3 year old and lives in the Campus of the University Pompeu Fabra (UPF) in Barcelona. He learns and progresses fast can now ask and answer some questions, including playing guitar.

Never mind playing guitar, I would like one that would do all my housework! When would the scientists realize that there are more important and urgent tasks that are really helpful to people?

All right, maybe not people in general, but to MoiMoii definitely. I just loathe housework!!! 
 

The long journey of the Lone Penguin ~
Icon of the icy continent, is the penguin that appears in the photo below, making the necessary long & solitary journey on the slabs of ice in Antarctic. They simply have to do these more & more exhausting long & difficulty journeys of 50 kilometres or more, in search for food.
Solitary Journey
Looking at the photo, doesn't it make you feel how small & insignificant life is, yours, mine, and that of all living creatures? And how solitary we all must confront it as nobody else can live your life; in a way, we are all on our own, even when you have caring family and countless friends
