The Horror! Parents Fund Safe Room On Campus In Honor Of Daughter

Parents Dedicate New College Safe Space In Honor Of Daughter Who Felt Weird In Class Once - The Onion - America's Finest News Source. How horrible it must have been for Alexis Stigmore, who was exposed for a horrifying 45 minutes to a College discussion of a book containing political views she didn't agree with. This Onion article recounts the horrifying ordeal of the gentle soul, and her parents' donation of a two million dollar safe room for students who are forced to endure opposing viewpoints at College. It is about time that Colleges started providing rooms for students in which they will protected by an idea free cocoon. Now, if we can just figure out how to eliminate all ideas and viewpoints, the world will be a safer, more understanding place. I have another modest proposal. The safe room should be stocked with Ostrich Pillows, so that opposing viewpoints will not be able to be heard from the hallway.

Note: For those of you who have been educated by a modern U.S. College in which you have not been exposed to any idea you disagree with, this blog post is SATIRE. Look it up on Google, if you dare expose yourself to dangerous things.

Aliens Living On Earth? Robert Bigelow Believes

Robert Bigelow 'absolutely convinced' of aliens on Earth | Daily Mail Online. When you are a billionaire, you can pretty much say what you want. And, when you made millions selling inflatable habitats to NASA, you can say that you believe that there are alien visitors living undercover on Earth, observing us. Of course, any parent with teenagers or young adults living in their house has experienced this sensation every time he or she walks into their kids' rooms. Mr. Bigelow has invested millions into his obsession. Hey, it's his money. I do, however, have a modest proposal for him. How about investing millions in getting the aliens out of Congress? Or start an investigation into the way they have been hacking our elections? Now, that would be a worthy objective.

The Anti-iPhone - Andy Rubin's Essential Phone

First Look at the Essential Phone, Andy Rubin's Anti-iPhone | WIRED. Just when you thought Smartphone innovation was dead, Andy Rubin takes the OS he invented, Android, and makes it better. Ambient OS is a totally pure, generic version of Android that Rubin intends to connect the world; particularly to make an Internet of Things hub that will connect the user, her phone, and her home or office with everything. No bloat ware. No funky interfaces. Just pure OS and something that just works. The innovation comes from the magnetic connector that will power all sorts of accessories, the first of which is a tiny 360 degree camera that attaches to the phone, and comes with it. The phone is pricey, at $699; but, not as expensive as the highest end Samsung and Apple phones, and made of Titanium. Will it truly become "essential"? We shall see. The first units are coming later this year. 

Anxious, Worried, Upset? Welcome To The Human Race

I have been more anxious, worried and upset lately than usual. I suspect every one reading this knows the feeling. Lawyers, especially, tend to want to control the matters of their lives. It is a huge disappointment to realize that we are in control of nothing. The roller coaster of emotions and events and problems can seem to be insurmountable at times. However, the Stoics understood this, and some modern philosophers have devised little exercises to help to deal with the human feelings of helplessness. This quote, in particular, can help:

"I'm always reminding myself that "events don't upset me, beliefs do." Realizing that there is no sense getting bothered about things out of my control—and that most things are out of my control—is another huge one. I also frequently use a version of the "premeditation." When I get worried or concerned I'll ask myself, "Do I have to have this in order to live a happy life?" The answer is always no."

Giveaway of the Day. Efficient Sticky Notes Pro 5.22 - Stick your tasks or your feeling on the screen to remind you at any time!.I am trying out this program; which is free for download today. I have been contemplating trying out the "Kanban" system for prioritizing tasks into Options, Doing and Done categories. Using on screen Sticky Notes to do this might be a cute way to do it. Remember, multitasking is a myth. You need to figure out the most important tasks, and focus on them, one at a time. Kanban will help.

Benjamin Button - Clip A Camera To Your Kids - What Could Go Wrong?

It's the first day after a holiday, and this product is a waterproof clip on WiFi enabled camera that you are supposed to clip to your kids to get their perspective on the family. I can think of dozens of family events and interactions that I really don't want the world to see. For instance, the 5 minutes between the time I crawl out of bed in the morning, and climb down the stairs to make a cup of coffee. Or, some of the choice words I yell at the TV screen while watching politicians show their stupidity on screen. Or, well, you get the picture. WiFi cameras on kids? Are you kidding me? 

Asus ZenBook Pro UX550 - Monster Computer In A Slim Profile

Asus ZenBook Pro UX550 Release Date, Price and Specs - CNET. I love my 2.8 pound 13 inch, Samsung Flip. It has a Core I7 processor, 256 Gig SSD, and several USB 3.0 ports. Batter life could be better; but, I only need a couple of hours for what I do every day. However, if I could lug around a 4 pound beast, with a 15 inch screen, and more ports than God needs, I would take a long look at the new Asus ZenBook which will be out soon How does a 1 Terabyte SSD sound? All this computing power can be had for around $1,300, which is about what I paid for the Samsung Flip. Hmmm... Do I want to carry around a 4 pound computer with a 15 inch screen? Probably. This thing is a beast.
