Scooter Luggage

How fun would it be, to scoot your luggage like this.

Here is a video of Modobag.



While its cool that you can cruise on your luggage, you could only do this when there is no crowd.

Leading Matters: Lessons from My Journey

 


Leading Matters: Lessons from My Journey from John Jennessy of the Computer Architecture fame.





Watching Movies to make you a better writer

BattleTech: Honor's Gauntlet (BattleTech Novel) by Bryan Young

 Watching Movies to make you a better writer from Virginia Piper writing center

1. Suspense Vs Surprise.

2. Characters talk to each other not to the audience.

3. Telling the story of your main character through the other characters.

4. Scene Polarity from negative to positive.

5. A Romantic Comedy, With Zombies mashup of genres which teaches more than the study of individual genres.

My tip: Read the story on wiki and then watch the movie. Then you will understand how sometimes when characters are collapsed or new characters are bought in, to include more audience. The Lost World

Cellular is one movie where I sat down to jot scene transitions.

Fighting phantom limb pain

 

This was done using Nvidia Titan GPU along with Nvidia Jetson

Another crowd-sourcing platform had started to look at engineering a hologram solution to extend the mirror box therapy.


Understandably, people were tired of doing the same movements all day.



If you need some movement, Apple watch motion sensor now controls a cursor. Think of it as solving a maze with your body.

Spire Stone: Stress Management and Activity Tracker for iOS & Android


yesterday I was in a yoga session of Ashtanga yoga where I learned about shallow breathing, diaphgrammatic or the abdomen breadthing, chest breathing and shoulder breathing.

Then I wondered if there is a way to know how we are breathing. There might be other more helpful and budget friendly ways to incorporate good, deep breathing into your life.

When I am walking in the park, I try to focus on deep breathing.
