Mind posting/reading

This new Mindmeister feature looks interesting: Grappig. Met Google Glass ideetjes vastleggen in MindMeister: http://t.co/L5zSXJmto1 — Paulus Veltman (@paulusveltman) July 18, 2014 Except for two things: It will create a bucketload of ‘Tourettists’ at all sorts of public venues (coffee shops, terraces, the beach, side walks, etc.) when all sorts of, mostly, self-inflated hipsterlaggerds start … Continue reading “Mind posting/reading”

WIoTables

Am I too late with this post, or are people still mixing up the Internet of Things and Wearables ..? First, a picture: [Rarely seen Cala, at ON] Because we’re talking quite distinct things. Yes, there’s a crossover area where e.g., the sensors or ‘reflectors’ we wear, operate in the IoT realm of ambient intelligence. … Continue reading “WIoTables”

On the verge of many breakthroughs

As really as the … Continue reading “Books by Quote: Zero”

It will no longer allow the New to be adopted…! It will require all old to be abandoned as fast as possible, not retaining anything of the … Continue reading “All newld”

Short link: Brain laser

Michio Kaku predicts we’ll send our minds into space via laser in this piece. If we’re capable of that, there more probably will be no ‘us’ or ‘our minds’ anymore. We’ll reach Singularity (have passed the S point) already some time before that; dystopian version. Oh well, here’s a picture for your viewing delight: [Your … Continue reading “Short link: Brain laser”

Time flies …

[Oh, say can you see… just out in the waterway] Has anyone started writing recent history already …? As in. e.g., this article, then this one. And current-day affairs have this and this. There seems to be, again since a long time, the same sort of freshness and happiness in the air. Last time, it … Continue reading “Time flies …”
