Discover your SixthSense

I am amazed with the technology that already exists in this world and I believe that if we can imagine it, we can make it happen. However, sometimes even I get blown away with what we are already capable of.

In this video you will meet 
Pranav Mistry. The inventor of SixthSense, a wearable device that enables new interactions between the real world and the world of data. This video is from www.ted.com

TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: 
Technology, Entertainment, Design. 



This video is from 2009 and as you probably just heard at the end of the video, Pranav said that he was going to make all his software open-source. So where is it? Well it appears that the big corporations may have made an offer that was to hard to refuse. I have read that shortly after this video was made available, Pranav got hired by Microsoft.

Which makes sense when you watch the next video, that shows Microsoft's vision for 2019. 


It is a little sad that it was never made publicly available. However, I am still happy that all his research is still going to become a reality for all of us.

Dancing Hands

As a musician I have always found my self drawn to the quirky instruments or sounds. I like the fact that some times the most common items can be used to make music. Like in the PVC Pipe video that I recommended yesterday.


I enjoy today's video because it is up beat, quirky and strangely mesmerizing. This couple (one of which looks like Jean Paul Gaultier; the cologne, not the person) preform a perfectly choreographed routine of dancing hands. 


Yep. Dancing hands. however, it is not just the dancing that I like, it is the beat and sounds that they create while they are dancing.


I found out about this video, when I saw the end of a McDonalds commercial that caught my eye. It featured Cleary & Harding and of corse their remarkable dancing hands. My fiancĂ©e explained to me that the reason they were on the commercial was because of their You-Tube video.

Amazing Water & Realtime Search

I do not have a TV, instead I rely solely on the internet (mainly YouTube).  and I have discovered that being without a TV has actually made me more aware of current events and .... well ........ funny videos... or  videos that just blow your mind; And you are like... WTF


I don't feel like I am missing out at all. If there is something funny, popular or news worthy, you can bet that I will see it, and most likely even before people with a TV. In fact even if it was on tv and it is worth seeing, I'll see it on the internet.


I am going to start recommending these videos as I feel that they are videos that the world needs to see.



The first video is a WOW..... WTF!!!! ....   THAT'S COOL type of video
