This is a great view from my father's house in the mountains of Heredia, Costa Rica. That shinny area on the middle of the photo, right under the small cloud, is the Pacific Ocean, 90km away. It can be seen at this time when the sun reflects on it like this.

Tristan
Another of father's dogs.. Tristan loves chasing the ball, he always carries a lemmon with him and offers it to you to kick it away, so he can go chase it..
Tyson
This is one of my father's dog, Tyson (he likes biting on other dogs' ears). He also often poses for the cammera as he is totally intrigued by the little red led light that flashes just before the flash...

Robot Identifies Human Flesh As Bacon
Wednesday, 8 November 2006
Let the robot holocaust commence: robots think we taste like bacon.
Researchers at NEC System technologies and Mie University have designed the cute little guy to the right: a metal man gastronomist, "an electromechanical sommelier", capable of identifying wines, cheeses, meats and hors d'oeuvres. Upon being given a sample, he will speak up in a childlike voice and identify what he has just been fed. The idea is that wineries can tell if a wine is authentic without even opening the bottle, amongst other more obscure uses...like "tell me what this strange grayish lump at the back of my freezer is/was."
But when some smart aleck reporter placed his hand in the robot's omnivorous clanking jaw, he was identified as bacon. A cameraman then tried and was identified as prosciutto.
Absolutely horrifying. Like cows, once robots taste blood, their hunger for human flesh can never be satiated. Japanese unveil robot wine steward
