Love this, I have two books out on How we going to Eat in a world without Petroleum, and I see this wonderful idea as very necessary in our future. Congratulations to the undertaker who thought up this innovative way of saying good bye. We soon will not have the oil to travel to do it in person.

Very interesting. We did an interview with a neuroscientist that explains this trend very well, with quotes such as

“Rigorous and targeted cognitive training has been used in clinical practice for many years. It can help improve memory, attention, confidence and competence, reasoning skills, even how to reduce anxiety and deal with uncomfortable situations.” and “The brain evolves as we age. Some areas, such as pattern recognition, get better with age. Some require extra-workouts in order to reduce “chinks in the armor” and increase neuroprotection through the Cognitive (or Brain) Reserve). Hence, the need for targeted cognitive training.”

PassPack is a valid alternative, offering something that clipperz overlooked: an anti-phishing mechanism.

Just think of the problems you could run into if you “accidentally” give your your master password away to a phishing site.

PassPack is also about to release an auto-login tool which is very easy to use – point and click. You can watch the demo here:
http://passpack.wordpress.com/2007/03/22/passpack-auto-login-no-plugin-needed/

I hope you give us a try, and please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.

Cheers to you,

Oilgae Says

Thanks for the article…it is heartening to see algae getting a lot of publicity, something I feel they deserve.

I co-ordinate Oilgae, a site that explores use of algae as a feedstock for biodiesel, and I can say with some amount of confidence based on my researches that algae appear to be one of the most qualified candidates for biodiesel production.

While the math certainly appears to favor algae, there are a number of issues to be overcome. These have to do with (1) choosing optimal algal strains, (2) issues faced in cultivation and harvesting (believe me there are some serious bottlenecks here), and (3) cost-effective methods to extract oil and transform it into biodiesel.

So yes, there is still a long way to go before it can be proven with certainty that algal biodiesel can be cost-effective on a large scale, but it is gratifying to see brilliant minds (not to forget VC money) getting into this field. And with institutes like MIT (Boston) getting into the act, I’m optimistic most of the above-mentioned issues will be overcome.

Time will tell if algae are our future source of energy, but for now, they certainly appear to have many of the qualifications required for the same.

“1,000 contributions after 24 hours”

They want to get 1,000,000 this month, or over 33,000 per day.

Today, after a week, they’re up to 6,347 (see the counter at http://www.newhotmail.co.uk/emailbritain/). That seems a little below their expectations.

my completion of Einstein’s theory reveals that the electron is a helical string wave comprised of 1/(h-squared) Higgs Particles and that 1/h electrons equals one unit of mass. Also, the electron is 1/h quantum world line helical string one turns, each quantum compised of 1/h Higgs particle. The h-symmetry whereby the minimum (quantum)mass (gravity) is h grams while the minimum quantum energy is h ergs. Ou crude anthropic measure lets us predict well with toatal confusion at the h-level between mass and energy!

Liliana Miranda Townshend Says

TierraNatal was built to support the transnational Mexican – Mexican American network by creating a web 2.0 community to support their active and vital connection to their families and home towns.

A key element of the site is that we have created profiles for each town in Mexico – over 300,000 sites and invite our users to use our wiki to define the character of each town by sharing history, pictures and new of each town. TierraNatal is like no other social network, we want to foster citizen journalism, support cultural ties and foster small business.

Soon we will launch a service that will help small businesses promote their products and services in both countries.

Sounds really clever, but I’m guessing it’ll be difficult to get it adopted in the marketplace, as to benefit from it you’ll need both the plug, and equipment that’s compatible with the plug. Bit of a chicken and egg situation, as Green Tech will need to convince equipment manufacturers to make green-plug-compliant equipment, and it’ll be hard to convince those equipment manufacturers if there isn’t already a customer base for the plug (and it’ll be hard to get people to buy the plug without there being any compatible equipment).

Anyway I’m confusing myself trying to explain a simple point that’s pretty obvious anyway, so I’ll stop now!

I’m delighted that this visual has raised some interest in the area.. It was only a small scale early test, I’m looking into how places affect people now as they wander/walk though – ‘Psychogeography’.. I’m still interested in the movements though as they can reveal a host of things via anlysis of plots.. The Victoria and Albert Museum in London recently used visitor tracking to ascertain which were the most popular exhibits. After the tests they moved their displays around to better enhance the visitor experience..

This might be a bit off topic but the nice thing about buying new electronics is they have a warranty. You are buying something that has moving parts or electricity going to it so it has the potential of breaking, there is nothing you can do but replace it, that does not mean the company that made the product sucks, it means the individual item sucked!

Home Healthcare will not care for anyone who cannot take care of themselves safely. It is a VERY BASIC level of care which is mostly just a visit that a child of 14 could perform better and more consistently.

I am speaking of Home Health provided by Medicare providers and paid by Medicare after a hospital visit.

The Home Health people do not help alleviate the worry or amount of time family or patient must dedicate to their problems the Home Health Agency GREATLY increases your problems. They will not do anything but talk to the person for maybe 1/2 hour per visit. Take BP and pulse. And tell you you are responsible for all your own healthcare period.

Home Health is not for people who cannot already do everything that YOU need them to do for you. I was specifically told this by our RN case manager.

The PT person does have my parent do toe taps, slight knee bends, and a short walk around the house. Whopee! What a racket.

The OT person watched my parent make toast and oatmeal. This was the biggest thing they did with 6 visits.

The nurses change every visit so there is no way for an accurate assessment of changes to be done. And you have to explain over and over and over because it is a new nurse everytime. And the nurses all give different advice.

Please be warned about home healthcare. They are not very helpful. A consistent neighbor kid who can visit everyday for an hour is a much better investment then Home Health.

Also Home Health WILL act as a “policing” force for the state and turn your parent in if they feel your parent is a liability to them. For instance if your parent smokes and they think they MAY forget to put the cigarette out or if they think your parent may forget to take their pills.

Even if your parent WANTS to stay home and chooses NOT to take their pills…. once you have Home Health in your house your parent loses their right to decide on their own because Home Health is now “responsible” and they will hotline or turn your parent in.

PLEASE be warned and find out what your parent wants before you get “”" help “”" from Home Health.

I’m sure that other passengers would be kind enough to wake up a sleeping Noriko-San sleep mask user at his stop. This is an ingenious idea, but it still does not solve the problem of actually sleeping in comfort on the train. This user really looks uncomfortable, with nothing to lean against to support his head, and nothing to muffle the sounds of the people and the train.

This inventor should place his scrolling sign on a Dreamhelmet, the sleep mask pillow that blocks light, sound, and provides a comfy pillow so the user can rest his head against a soft surface Then he might have a chance to actually get some sleep before he reaches his station.

On a not unrelated note, I was driving down 101 on New Year’s Eve and a big overhead sign said ILLEGAL TO TEXT WHILE DRIVING FROM JANUARY 1ST, which definitely made me want to, y’know, get in one final hit before it was illegal. Somehow I resisted the temptation, however.

yes…pleas,would somebody please give me a source of obtainable literature and how to acquire it as i am very interested in the levitational process as well as telekinetic energy that i believe can happen to a human when certain emotional latitudes are reached and it happens spontaneously as i have experienced in the past when higher than usual anger levels are reached but must be suppressed 100% due to extenuating circumstances..it would be nice to be able to harness this energy instead of experiencing as a surprised and involuntary participant…thank you and i will appreciate any and all sources of information that you can provide me with.see from past experiences i know that my own natural magnetic energy flow is opposite of that of the majority of humans.also as a result of this condition i have been able to lay hands on terminally ill individuals and bring relief from the pain and other symptoms.and once when an individual has severely tested my last nerve i grabbed her hand and sent her a considerable jolt of human electricity into her, thereby inciting the fear that i wished to achieve thereby making it easier to intimidate this nuicance for futuree purposes.i have also interfered with the functioning of motor vehicles and various other electonically powered items.on the consciously generated jolt..i believe that it originates from the area of the pineal gland..thats just a hypothisis because it felt like it came from that area..i could summon this energy for healing purposes but as far as i knew the recipiant didnt actually feel anything but relief from pain or symptoms..oh well sorry to have bored you all…thanks from roseanna in texas

Machines custom built for practicing acupuncturist used more sophisticated design smuggled from Red China, superior to Taiwanese machines available to Westerners

Curious as to current state of this art 30 years later.

Cheers

ceramic printing Says

Finally a push for lower price consumables! Part of the barrier we are facing for mass adoption of 3d printing has been high material costs. Once “open source” materials comes available with readily available access (at the local supermarket or pottery store) we’ll see many more jumping on board!

It seems that someone is at last listening to what I been advocating for a long time. Generally when I ask question of your Berkshire Offices they seem to take it as a trudge or do not answer at all. I told them that there were problems with the Vista package, they did not accept that, yet every one who purchased this from my company requested that it be taken out and replaced with the earlier system of Xp. This cost me over four thousand dollars in hand outs, as well as sending my Engineers to their companies and getting every single thing that was in their machines that was from Vista. Now their setups and machines, my company has a turnover of over $50M this years so far we do not want to be put into that ball park again. Once over you had a very good setup in Berkshire, today we are on our own and I wont even bother talking to them, what is the use when they do not listen and think that they are right all the time, that is arrogance and that it seems is the way the company is going. We look forward to the next Operating System. We have Office 2007 that is giving no problems, and now we have Vista Operating out that has stopped my phones ringing as well. What you have here will assist in many ways, but what ever you do make sure it is fully tested unlike the Vista Operating System which seems to have been cut short and that I think has caused all the problems, NO good trying to give downloads to correct it, that have all been taken out of the machines. Please pass this on to Mr. W. Gates, we are the simple people we go into areas you would not send your worst enemy.

So, this is an eletronic loupe that can scan and capture from a existing print? Well, interesting except that when you figure the average print has about a 250dpi or less resoultion capability, it makes for some grainy enlargments. Resampling for the final image (e.g. bicubic of nearest neighbor,etc.)might help. Check out the recent Zink Imaging design contest (Zink dot com) and I think there was something similar that was capable of outputing a print all within the same gadget. m-

You can use these glasses with various sources, such as a portable media player or your cell phone. This technology promises to eliminate the dizziness phenomenon usually associated with this kind of display. And with these glasses weighing only about 40 grams, you’ll feel that you’re viewing a 40-inch screen from a distance of 7 feet.

Thanks

Hey, I developed something similar but still different allowing anyone to get an augmented reality version of their business card.

This is a still an “in improvement” project but it’s fully functional and anyone can register to get its own augmented reality business card.

Self publishing might be the way to go if she has not been successful with regular publishers.
Alternatively she may want to make it available as a downloadable e book
She may even want to check out Amazon’s booksurge.

The synapses of the brain are capable of much faster multiple channel processing than computers are capable of with the exception of optical systems and large botnets tied into faster wireless. It is in the “arena” of sending signals to the brain, which are then made manifest in the nervous system, that the haptics abilities and subsequent needed security measures lie. This will be the challange of the next decade.

This looks oddly like TFDEL, which is not owned by LG Display or their attorneys, Wiley Rein. If it is inorganic, rather than organic and screen printed rather than pick and place, it is a proprietary technology to Femtobeam LLC and their colleagues in Germany, not LG. (I have a prototype of the same thing in my possession and have had since 1996.) These technologies are clearly defined as to the lamp construction materials and manufacturing methods. Sometimes, new is not new at all, just someone else’s rights with a different name.

On the website, there is a debate in the comments about ownership but 3D projection has been in writing and prototyped since the mid 80’s. This unit is made of two separate handheld projectors and two infrared motion sensors with algorithms now in the public domain. If it were large area size, it would require a proprietary multi-deflector and a higher brightness level. This is an assembly of off the shelf components. The scanners are lasers and should never be focused into the eyes and it is a debate as to whether or not this is potentially harmful to the skin over time. Certainly, this would be the case for UV light and some of the blue projection contains these waveforms. To contain that would violate IP and Trade secrets of Femtobeam LLC in enclosed up conversion rear projection units. Thanks for posting this. I will watch your posts with interest.

The ability to read brain potentials with this device and wirelessly transmit it with wearable computing can be reversed. It demonstrates what is now possible with two way interactive brain interfaced networking, not just for external devices but also for implanted ones in the human brain and body. This new field is as full of danger as opportunity and will make the point felt clearly about the need for wireless bio-network security systems for real time intervention of unwanted access.

well, i had my first palm app on october 1997. added full text search for books you read. gave me page numbers and annotations to share with other reader via email. scrolling by touching the text. yes – email and touch display was possible without an iphone. imagine this. augmented reality is possible with a 20 dollar webcam. but nobody cares – so buy an iphone, create apps and let apple earn money by selling them. this is not augmented reality – this is augmented sale. and yes, i hate my life.
