Tech Deptartment: Lenses for your camera

Wow...inventions like these make you think about being limitless. The ability we have to be smart enough to create something like this. To create a tool so advanced and technical, it really fascinates me.

You have to check this out! If you're into the National Geographic or like knowing how things work, you'll like this video. It's about 9 minutes but it's crazy to see how specific and intracte they are.



The way cameras work is ridiculous if you think about it. When you watch a movie, or look at a picture...just imagine what goes into it all.

Apple killing the Television??

This is crazy and as innovative as  you can think. I am an Apple head. I have a Macbook Pro. I live on my Mac working on Pro Tools. I try to push people to buy Mac's...they should just give me some money hah. But driving modern innovation is huge! It can keep you in the front of the pack (just ask Microsoft how it feels to be in the back watching Apple get ahead).

Now, outside of Apple taking over internet calling buy purchasing companies like iCall. They could possibly take over your TV as well.

Here's part of the story:

"...it could ultimately alter the economics of the television business. The service could undermine the big bundles of channels that cable, satellite and telecommunications companies, including ComcastDirecTV Inc., have traditionally sold in packages to subscribers."

Diving 35,000 feet - Wow!

Sir Richard Branson is one of the most inspiring entrepreneurs. He dares to be different, tests the resolve of men and evokes a thought process that pushes you to your limit. I always try to think outside the box. I push myself to effect people in that way. Somewhat like a playboy who pushes innovation to make life easier and better for others. Maybe one day soon ;-)

Why am I bringing him up? Well from the planes, submarines, cellphones, labels, going to space, all kinds of other projects he's excelled in...Branson is now putting together his own Oceanic Project!! This guy is ridiculous! Here is part of the story:

What hasn't been explored at all is the depths of the oceans. So we're in the process of building something called Virgin Aquatic, which is going to be submarines to go 35,000 feet underwater. The oceans need exploring - we know nothing about what's going on under 25,000 feet. I have an island called Necker Island and 15 miles from there is the deepest place in the whole of the Atlantic, the Puerto Rican Trench. It's quite likely that we'll set up a scientific and exploration center on Necker to send out expeditions to explore that trench and other trenches in the world.
The technical challenge is finding materials that can withstand the pressure at 35,000 feet. It's almost easier to build a spaceship to go into space than to build a vessel that can withstand the pressures at 35,000 feet. But we think we can do it.

Christmas Lights

There is nothing like lights at peoples homes. It brings a sense of comfort, warmness...almost soothing. I know, sounds kinda fruity but you know I'm right. Here are some pretty great shots I found online.

What would you do if the President had to move everyone?

This is a crazy story! The president of a country (that's an island) is trying to pursue the possibility of moving everybody in his country to another island/country. Global Warming is effecting Male, Maldive so bad that it could be under water before we know it!

Such a beautiful place could...and probably will be gone! Here is an exerpt about the possible end of Male and the possible relocation of a country. Crazy just to say it!  

"I'm here in the Maldives to write about the end of the world, or at least the end of this world, and climate change, that big bummer blackening the horizon. You know the story. Science says: This thing's coming, deal with it. And the president of the Maldives—the first democratically elected president—Mohamed Nasheed, is attempting to deal."

Guys Fashion: Think about it

I love fashion. Obviously, you need to have some money to be on top of the fashion game. I'm not saying you need to go to Barney's and spend $1,500 on a dress shirt but being able to be "versatile" with your wardrobe is big.

I'm not even sayin you have to have all name brand clothes either! I try to keep a look out on specific styles I don't have, certain colors with "daring" matches is always a good thing. Daring...I mean to more so be different. Something you can be comfortable with but at the same time feel confident with what you're wearing.

Fashion is awesome but at the same time it baffles me. What is fashion? So many people have there versions. You can say much of it is originality. You can say originality is fashion, being comfortable, being happy with how you're perceived. It's interesting because the people who say, "I don't care what others think" well I think you do. People spend money on clothes because they like it but others are going to see it, make a comment and it's going to make you feel good. I don't know, I could be wrong...but I don't think I am.

You can walk in a mall and see some baggy jeans, designer t-shirt and a NY cap while looking behind you and see someone else wearing some designer jeans, a button up and a beanie. Both of these people think they are fashionable. Both of them enjoy what they're wearing and they believe they are as original as it gets. You can't tell someone they aren't fashionable...You probably will anyway...I will but it is what it is.

 
Wow, I began this as a post to spotlight people in the public eye I respect when it comes to fashion. Well, you received a lot more information. It was all personal preference so take it for what it is.

PS

Bow Tie's are AWFUL! Worse fashion creation of all time. There is only a couple people on this planet that can pull it off. You, are probably not one of them (not trying to hate, jus sayin).

Sounds of the Universe?? This is crazy!

I'm a big fan of astronomy. I love learning about the universe, its stars and galaxies. It's nearly impossible to actually grasp how large our planet is in correlation to the universe. The conversation of life outside our planet is always intense...and in my eyes, it's ridiculous to think we are the only living organisms in the universe. Regardless, this is more so about this audio I just heard and read about.

This is crazy! I didn't know but the Voyager I and II that had traveled through Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus. While it did, it picked up these sounds. Not through a microphone because all of the audio is audible but it picked up on electromagnetic noise. Here is some of it:



Robert Lamb explains how they actually turned this into music. Enjoy
