The future is here …ubiquitous computing
The UBI is only the first step to ubiquitous computing.
Think an environment-aware version of Siri — with sensors that allow for remote monitoring of temperature, humidity, air pressure, and ambient light, for starters. Plus the usual Siri Internet information look up stuff — but no cell phone (or computer) required.
The promo also says I should be able to use it to do Internet searches, send text messages and emails, ask questions, have it set timers and reminders, etc. — all hands-free.
South Korea using the MS Kinect to keep an eye on the North Koreans…
Epic use of technology !
……South Korea monitors the DMZ with infrared motion sensors, but these sensors lack the ability to differentiate between animals and people. Enter Kinect. The South Korean military says it has been using a Kinect-based system, developed by Microsoft MVP Jae Kwan Ko, that can quickly and reliably pick out human intruders. The system has been in place since August 2013. As is fairly usual for military tech, we don’t have a whole lot of details on how the system actually works, beyond the fact that it alerts a nearby military outpost when a human is detected. The press release implies that the system is impressive because a) it’s cheap, and b) Kwan Ko was a self-taught wunderkind who defeated all the odds to become a Microsoft MVP.
A bicycle riding robot …..
The future is going to be awesome !!!
Truly amazing !!
Snow Plow Robot to the rescue !
For my Snow birds on the mainland…. Don’t say a brother didn’t try to help…
The SuperDroid Robot 6WD with Snow Plow can do just that. As you guessed, this is a robot that plows snow. This is a custom 6-wheel drive remote control machine. You can stay inside and plow your driveway. There is a 52″ wide snow plow blade mounted to the front of the robot. An air cylinder is used to remotely lift and lower the blade.
The GZA explains the Big Bang !!
EPIC !!!
He is the geekiest man in the Virgin Islands
His Scooba iRobot has at times displayed moments of self-awareness
I don’t always write code outside my office, but when I do, I prefer to do it on the beach.
Stay geeky, my friends !!

How technical evolution can kill us….
While I look forward to the Singularity, I must be cautious not to fall for the sofalarity.
Imagine that two people are carving a six-foot slab of wood at the same time. One is using a hand-chisel, the other, a chainsaw. If you are interested in the future of that slab, whom would you watch?
This chainsaw/chisel logic has led some to suggest that technological evolution is more important to humanity’s near future than biological evolution; nowadays, it is not the biological chisel but the technological chainsaw that is most quickly redefining what it means to be human. The devices we use change the way we live much faster than any contest among genes. We’re the block of wood, even if, as I wrote in January, sometimes we don’t even fully notice that we’re changing.
The Carbon War Room
A great first step. A bit disappointed that Antigua and the USVI weren’t there. But no worries this is a marathon not a sprint.
St. Lucia, St. Kitts-Nevis, the Turks and Caicos Islands and the British Virgin islands (BVI), Thursday signed a pact that help islands implement near-term, demonstrative renewable solutions in schools, hospitals, public transport, tourism and utility scale renewable energy.
The agreement was signed during the meeting organised by the Carbon War Room, a nonprofit organization chaired by Sir Richard Branson, founder and chairman of the Virgin Group.
Sir Richard said islands in the Caribbean have extremely high electricity costs and the new renewable projects could help reduce those costs.
“What we hope to do is use Necker as a test island to show how it can be done. The only way we’re going to win this war is by creative entrepreneurship, to make the price of clean energy cheaper than that of energy from fossil fuels.”
