“Seagulls (Stop it Now)”, a bad lip reading.

A comically disturbing re-reading of the transformation stage of Luke Skywalker in The Empire Strikes Back.

Melvin Krazenberg’s Six Laws of Technology1. “Technology is neither good or bad; nor is it neutral.”The impact of a technology depends on its geographic and cultural context, which means it can be both simultaneously. 2. “Invention is the mother of necessity.”Every technical invention seems to require additional technical advances in order to make it fully effective. 3. “Technology comes in packages, big and small.”To understand any part of a technology package requires looking at its interactions with and dependency on the rest of it. 4. Although technology might be a prime element in many public issues, nontechnical factors take precedence in technology-policy decisions.” 5. “All history is relevant, but the history of technology is the most relevant.Many times history is driven by what technology makes possible. (One can’t help but also assume bias that comes from Kranzberg teaching The History of Technology course at Georgia Institue of Technology.) 6. “Technology is a very human activity.” (Excerpted from WSJ article “The Six Laws of Technology Everyone Should Know” by Christopher Mims.)

I first ran across this Kickstarter company, Nomatic, last year when I saw their travel bag video last year that was really cool: youtu.be/qMtZ8Pirp… like they’ve just launched two companion products featured here: Backpack and Travel Pack.Continue to be impressed by their designs, and may be in my future. :)

I tend to key into sound, and my mind tends to mental map its shape to some degree. This video does a really cool job of showing what those shapes look like, and is a great science experiment to boot.Presenting Nigel Stanford’s “Cymatics: Science vs. Music”.

Really enjoyed this video by Dr. Rick Rigsby sharing real life wisdom from the wisest person he ever knew, a third grade dropout.Hope you enjoy too.
