Big fan of BioLite and this FirePit looks awesome. Wood-fueled, smokeless, electricity-generating stoves and solar powered lighting systems.

Dreams of Microsoft

Posted on January 3rd, 2018 in I Did It!, Stories, Technology. 0 Comments

Sorting through old emails, I found an article describing a feature of Internet Explorer that I somewhat worked on as a Program Manager at Microsoft. “Not that it’s mind-blowing or anything” the author states as he explains how the feature “COULD” be critical. After shedding a few tears of pride, I decided to put it here to make it easier for all posterity to remember my legacy.

Gaikai: Photoshopping on a Cloud

Posted on July 5th, 2009 in Technology, Web. 0 Comments

Streaming video games has been the new hotness in the gaming world since OnLive revealed itself in March with the the ability to stream games onto a PC at HDTV resolution from distant servers with a web plugin or a small piece of hardware. Basically, cloud gaming. I was impressed when the news came out, but not being a gamer, I lost interest. Until I found this video above. Until I watched the 10th minute of the video above. Please watch the 10th minute on the video above. Gaikai, a similar service to OnLive, is able to stream Photoshop to a browser using only Flash. And it opens in 2 seconds. Gaikai needs to think about shifting its focus away from just games. And investors should be throwing money at this company.

Bringing Sight to the World

adaptive eyecare glasses - joshua silver

Joshua Silver, a physics professor at Oxford University, has created a solution to bringing affordable glasses to a billion of the world’s poorest people by 2020. His invention is a pair of glasses composed of plastic lenses with clear sacs of fluid sandwiched in between. The wearer can then adjust the amount of fluid in the sacs through a syringe to fit their prescription without the assistance of an optician.

30,000 pairs have already been distributed in 15 countries but the global need for basic sight-correction is estimated at more than half the world’s population. And in poor communities, the ability to see will improve literacy rates and will allow people to continue pursuing jobs even as their vision deteriorates with old age.

As with all great ideas with great ambition, scale, manufacturing, distribution issues abound, but I am rooting for this guy and for Adaptive Eyecare.
