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!! 😉
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.
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
Happy 2004! It is now 12.52am 1 January 2004 in Melbourne, Australia.
Wishing everyone a prosperous year ahead, and full of opportunities. On the world front, I also hope that there will be fewer wars and natural disasters compared to the year just past.
