So You Think You Can Dance 9 Premiere

So You Think You Can Dance has returned!

I am so excited for the 9th season of SYTYCD. I hear there will be format changes again this season. For the first time, there will be TWO WINNERS. One male and one female will win this season.

Cat Deeley returns as the host. Of course, resident judges Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy are also coming back. The guest judges for the auditions are Debbie Allen, Lil' C, Tyce Diorio, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Adam Shankman. Based on this announcement, I guess it means Adam won't be a permanent judge this season.

By the way, the show's 200th episode will take place this season. Really exciting!

Handmade Felt Head Bands

Some felt head bands I've been working on lately.

I'm thinking of doing some DIY tutorials some time soon. Hopefully, I'll find time to do so.

Thought-controlled Robotic Arm

This is for the paralyzed, handicapped, or simply lazy people (like me) -- a device that will allow us to control a robotic arm using our thoughts. The device, called BrainGate neural interface system, has successfully undergone clinical trials. One of the test subjects is a 58-year-old woman (shown in the picture), who became paralyzed 15 years ago. She was able to control the robotic arm and get herself a drink. How amazing is that?
