About Me

You know? When I told my psychiatrist that everyone hated me. He told me I was being ridiculous. Everyone hadn't met me yet. :)
Anyway according to my doctor I am living on burroughed time so this space is dedicated to those who love me.

We know that quotes have the power to change our mental state very quickly. Just like books or movies, quotes can generate strong emotions, inspire, motivate or make us laugh.

Quotes have the highest wisdom density you can get in a single sentence.Moreover, you can use the quote as a shortcut for explaining your own established views to others.

People say you can know someone by the books one reads, or by the friends one has. I would say that a quicker way to know people is by taking a look at the quotes they collect.

Having that, here are some quotes I have collected:

A friend is someone who knows the worst thing about you and it doesn’t matter.

Scientists Work Out Way to Capture 3D Texture Info in a Flash

Some scientists at University of Manchester in the UK and Dolby Canada in Vancouver have worked out a way to capture 3D info of complex-textured objects really simply with a camera flash. You should care about this because it's likely to make the textures applied to characters and objects in computer games way more realistic: normally texture capturing needs expensive devices like laser scanners. Instead this technique uses something a bit like high dynamic-range photography, with two photos taken of a real-life texture: one with flash, one without. After some nifty image processing later, working out where the light and shade come from on the object for each pixel in both the illuminated and unilluminated shots, and they reproduce 3D depth and color info for the texture. It covers the whole field of the frame, and since it's 3D it lets you change the angle of illumination and shadowing when the texture is re-rendered in 3D graphics. Though it's still a work in progress, it's pretty impressive, and apparently fooled a test group of viewers who couldn't distinguish images made with the flash technique from laser-scanned imagery. It was demoed at the SIGGRAPH conference in Los Angeles recently. [New Scientist]
