space it out
this is an odd story b/c I always thought that pot made you forgetful…..
Nevertheless, another case for medical marijuana. Maybe one day… federally….
nice. my thoughts on it are as follows. You could use this same technology to view different frequencies. Mount your camera of choice on the glasses and boom! IR, UV, Microwave visualization. Interfaces with Geiger counters for High Rad work, real time interconnectivity in a lightweight package. This is where we are going, I think. Our phones have reached a lower size limit, so now we change the interface. maybe a smaller hand held or wrist interface with a wireless brain in your pocket (phone), to a wireless glasses display.
Lumus is offering a pair of light, wearable glasses that will display 1280 x 720 HD video and allow you to interact with the world via augmented reality.
Light pumps in the earpieces send and refract light down the lens. This moves the electronics away from the eyes, offering a lighter, more streamlined experience. The lenses are transparent and display an apparent 87-inch screen about ten feet away. Because each eye display works independently, you can also view 3D video.
these are awesome.
I know there are mixed opinions about Israel, but one thing is certain: They do incredible science and tech!
ever been in a car that has 4 12” subs in it? NBD. We got this.
Future Riot Shields Will Suffocate Protestors with Low Frequency Speakers
” … It’s not the first crowd control tool to use sound waves, but Raytheon’s patent for a new type of riot shield that produces low frequency sound waves to disrupt the respiratory tract and hinder breathing, sounds a little scary. … “
” … Crowd control tools like the LRAD Sound Cannon emit bursts of loud and annoying sounds that can induce headaches and nausea. But Raytheon’s non-lethal pressure shield creates a pulsed pressure wave that resonates the upper respiratory tract of a human, hindering breathing and eventually incapacitating the target. The patent points out that the sound waves being generated are actually not that powerful, so while protestors might collapse from a lack of oxygen reaching their brains, their eardrums won’t be damaged in the process. Phew! … “
gurl, where have you been? you should have signed that petition, like two years ago. I don’t have a problem with this, except for outdoor lighting. when I walk outside I need light fast. CFL’s don’t cut it and I don’t want to pay $30 for one LED light.
Liberal Congress has gone crazy! They are banning 100 watt light bulbs! What the heck!
Without 100 watt bulbs, we will have no easy bake ovens!
But seriously, this is ridiculous. We need Congress to understand that there are some places where the government really should not have authority. This is an abuse of the system. Why is Congress wasting time banning 100 watt bulbs? Taking away something so simple like the 100 watt bulb is just immature to say the least. They are bowing to radical environmentalist.
Tell them to stop.
Save the Edison light bulb.

No, seriously.
I have heard a bit about this. Sounds promising. good video, but…
Merrill Lynch in owned by BoA! ARRRGH. Something so bad working on something so good!
interesting experiment.
Washington, DC Metro Station on a cold January morning in 2007. The man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approximately. 2 thousand people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
4 minutes later:
The violinist received his first dollar: a woman threw the money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk.6 minutes:
A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.10 minutes:
A 3-year old boy stopped but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. Every parent, without exception, forced their children to move on quickly.45 minutes:
The musician played continuously. Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32.1 hour:
He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before Joshua Bell sold out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.
This is a true story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people’s priorities.
*In a common place environment at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty?
*Do we stop to appreciate it?
The questions raised:
*Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?
One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this:
If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made…
How many other things are we missing?
The Man with the violin is Joshua Bell with a Strad.
this is pretty cool, I want one.
