Project Google Glass - Will It Change The Way We Hurt Ourselves?

google glasses

For those who missed the update, Google has announced that they are officially working on a new product that is under development under the code name "Project Glass". Essentially, it is a pair of specialized glasses that you can use to access various forms of social media, as well as, various apps, and widgets that tell you things like the time of day, the weather, and weather or not the subway has been shut down. It looks very interesting...and also rather dangerous. If you have ever walked into someone, or into traffic while texting you can understand what I am talking about. I think the idea overall looks amazing. Its just figuring out a responsible way to use the product that is the question.

One of the ways that we could learn to use this kind of product safely would be to learn how to develop our peripheral vision. You can do this by pointing your index fingers at each other, and look at the space in between them. As you bring your fingers closer together, you will see a "floating finger". This is a special way of using your eyes that is mostly used in photoreading (a special reading technique that allows you to mentally "photograph" pages of a book). In either case this method of "looking through an object" also helps to develop your peripheral vision which would be useful if these Google glasses were to be developed.

You can check out the video below to get an idea of what the glasses would be able to do:



And just for fun hear is a parody of the Google glasses that kind of illustrates what many fear may happen if these Google glasses are created.

FreeLoader Solar Battery Charger

I know there have been times when I've been playing on my PSP or listening to music on my iPod, and the battery dies. If you're near an electrical outlet, this isn't to bad of a situation, but there are other times when I can't get to an electrical outlet when my battery died (there's a restaurant in Dallas called Loft 610. Great place to eat, but they have virtually no outlets). That's where the FreeLoader comes in. The best way to describe this device is that it's a compilation of mini solar cells, is very portable, can easily be charged up, and holds onto the power it has obtained for up to three months (pretty cool, huh?). After you get it charged up you can then use it to charge up your electronic devices and gadgets such as your MP3 player, iPod, PSP, and so forth. This device of convenience is just barely bigger than a cell phone and is made of aluminium (the lightweight variety). Plus, the FreeLoader can be pulled open to uncover not one, but

MrBeast Burger - My Experience

  *** DISCLAIMER: At the time of this writing, I did not work for MrBeast or any of his affiliates. Also, I used my own money to pay for the meal mentioned and reviewed in this writing. If you have ever scoured the Internet looking for entertaining videos besides the latest cute cat video... You have, undoubtedly, come across a video by MrBeast . MrBeast is a very well known Youtuber with millions of subscribers stretching across several channels. In his videos, MrBeast, along with friends Karl, Chris, and Chandler can be seen doing crazy stunts and giving away large sums of money to people of various walks of life. Recently, MrBeast decided to create MrBeast Burger - a virtual restaurant brand where people can use a branded mobile app or website to order fast food items delivered to their door ( in some areas, you can actually pick up the items yourself, but at the time of this writing, that option was not available in the DFW area ). \ I really do admire all of th
