I normally don’t write about a gadget per se, but just can’t resist the temptation on this one. It seems that a Japanese company has created a product that allows the user to create his/her own dream! Through a combination of voice recording, music and light stimulations, the user is ‘persuaded’ to dream along certain lines. This is also the same company that gave us the “meowlingual” devices which purport to translate your pet’s communication.
So, start (day) dreaming now!! 😉
Just finished setting up my own wireless network at home. Guess the recent upgrade has only wet my appetite for more gadgets!?
Well, after my previous system was unceremoniously put to rest, I had constructed a brand new system with many of the older parts either dysfunctional (the burnt up USB 2.0 card) or obsolete (my 768MB PC133 SDRAM :-(). The current system uses a better and cooler-looking case, a quieter power supply and of course a new board plus CPU. After this, the itchy fingers could not stop, I ended up trying my hand in the wireless world. Consider this my belated Christmas present to myself! 🙂
The new system uses a P4 2.66Ghz on a Gigabyte motherboard which, though not sporting the latest i865 chipset (uses i845PE instead) that supports 800MHz FSB CPUs, has integrated tonnes of goodies. The ones I am particularly happy about are: 6 USB slots, 2 firewire slots, the onboard 5.1 channel sound and IDE RAID. Additionally, there are 2 SATA channels, although off my head, can’t really think when I will make use of it.
Have been attending a 2-day course on management of project teams for the past two days.
As part of this course, a short video about the nature of creativity was shown. The presenter was a National Geographic photo-journalist. Using the example of changing lenses to achieve different effects as an analogy of how and why we need a change in how we view the world, he then went on to describe how he, as a professional, can BECOME and REMAIN creative on a daily basis.
Echos of the knowledge transference note I wrote last week…
“Bear in mind that the wonderful things you learn in your schools are the work of many generations. All this is put in your hands as your inheritance in order that you may receive it, honor it, add to it, and one day faithfully hand it on to your children.”
Albert Einstein
A new year, some new resolutions. In spite of all the lofty thoughts, it is best not to lose sight of who we are.
“The important thing is this:
to be able at any moment
to sacrifice what we are
for what we could become.”Charles Du Bos
