New Sensor's to Monitor Health

MC10 reshape's rigid, conventional electronics into thin, flexible devices that can stretch, bend and twist seamlessly with our bodies and the natural world.

I believe this maybe a common sight in the next 5 to 10 years.  The development of this technology has so many applications.   It can be used by athlete's,  new mother's wanting to monitor their new borns and potential could be used as an early detection device for disease and as a tool to recognize the early onset of an heart attack or a stroke.

It's Here! The answer to one of my problems :)

I have a very bad habit of misplacing my stuff.  Today for example, I have once again misplaced my car keys.  I have never lost my keys, but I have misplaced them at least 1000 times since getting my drivers license last century.  Finally the solution.  Blue tooth stickers to put on your keys, pets, luggage, and even your children :)  Why did this take so long you ask?  I have no idea.  The company is looking for crowd sourced funds to get the first order out.  I am more interested in purchasing shares of the company when available!   I think this is the solution for a lot of us.  I have just one question.  What will I do when I misplace my phone?

Recreating a Work of Art

This seemed approriate given our recent assignment to recreate a work of art.  Just in time for Black History month you can get this app on your iPad.  You will have the choice of a variety of back drops of Romare Bearden's works.  You will be able to play with shapes and colors and even add a bit of you own creations to his works.

ROID MSK.

Graffiti or art.  I think we all know the answer to that question.  Roid MSK is a London based artist who has developed a national reputation for his technical skills and use of graffiti as his artist platform.  Here are several of his works of art that I find all beautiful and amazing.
