| | long time no write but i just want to record some thoughts
while shopping with Frances, pondered the long wait women have for restrooms. thought about how to improve women's shopping experience...idea: why not have indicators just like how some parking structures have showing the # of available spots on each level...but instead of available parking spots...available stalls...better yet...a live video feed outside each restroom showing the length of the queue so women know where there is an open restroom..fundamentally to improve efficiencies & reduce bladder stress, provide information.
spent the morning at caltech listening to some pundits talk about entertainment and technology...not of particular interest to me but i plan to attend the caltech / mit enterprise forum regularly. posed question to panelists: considering the success of the wii, is the entertainment industries (video games, movies, tv, etc.) more receptive to sensor technology, and consequently are technology firms more eager to work with the entertainment industries? panelist answers: not much meaningful stuff. =(
i'm kinda bored with life at the moment a bit. but i watched a good lecture on energy here.
i heard about how kanye west rushed the stage and complained about not winning a music award. that's pretty self-absorbed.
interestingly enough, al gore won the nobel peace prize. i am not necessarily against his winning but an inconvenient truth made the terrible mistake of misrepresenting natural variation (high # of hurricanes in a year) for meaningful information (rise in global warming). the wsj had a good article about who SHOULD have won the nobel peace prize. good read.
i want to be more intelligent without being a jerk. i think there is good reason why people outside the church view us as uninformed.
