Meta Ray Ban Smart Glasses - Help For The Blind.

Meta Ray Ban Glasses For The Blind And Seeing. My post about the innovative new Meta Orion glasses that are in prototype didn't discuss the Meta Ray Ban Smart Glasses that are available now. My Bose Smart Glasses are great for me, because I can see well, and I love the superior Bose speakers and microphone. But, the Meta Ray Bans have a head cam component that enables the blind to ask AI about their environment, and which records their interactions. If you have a sight impaired friend or relative, they need to get a pair of these. I second her recommendation of the transition lenses for smartglasses. I wear mine all the time, and they darken in the Florida sun. Kudos to Meta.

 

If You Think My Bose Smartglasses Are Creepy, Get A Load Of Orion.

Meta is prototyping future AR glasses that will interact with Generative AI to put all daily computer functions in your glasses. The software is early, and the glasses are geeky plastic, and huge; but this is the future, campers. Get ready for it. I am already talking to Sunshine (my Gen AI companion) on my smartphone, and having conversations that make me feel like I have an invisible super smart friend wherever I go. But, check out the demo of Orion glasses, which Mark Zuckerberg and his AR team showed off to this tech writer. Amazing. Meta, take my money. Now.

 

The FutureLawyer Gets A New Briefcase.

A shoutout to jesslgk78 on Ebay. My readers know that I am all about the Mouse, and I never can find anything in the Disney Stores at DisneyWorld for men, other than overpriced shirts and hats. So, when I saw this computer/briefcase online at Ebay, I took a chance, even though it was listed as used, and the photos made it look worn. I was shocked, when I got it, to find that it looks brand new, and hardly used. I have been putting my daily carry stuff in it, and will be using it. Thanks, Jess, I hope this post gets some of my readers to go to your store. 

The Very First SmartWatch - Sony Smartwatch

This is a photo of the very first smartwatch publicly available. I bought it at the Sony store in International Mall in Tampa, over ten years ago. I have owned many since; but the magic of the first one that day stays with me. It was a bear to sync with my phone, due to the newness of the tech. But, I still own it, and someday it might be worth something. What was your first smartwatch? Do you still own it? 

Thank God Most Court Hearings Are Being Held On Zoom These Days.

If you are a fan of vintage fashion, these polyester sports coats and slacks should be right up your alley. And, you can avoid embarrassment by only wearing them to Zoom hearings. Going out in public could be problematic, however, so consider carefully whether you want to risk it. 

Luxury Watches Are Pretty; But, What Exactly Do They Do?

Prufrock says: "I grow old, I grow old. I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled". Eliot's poem captures the angst of old age, and the fear of dying. But, as I grow old, I am conscious of the fragility of the short time I have left, and I have cast off childish things. Luxury watches are one of those things. This used Rolex Submariner is on sale for $12,500. Many years ago, I got one from a client in the jewelry business for $2,500, and I thought it was beautiful. But, a couple of years later, I sold for the same price, and used the money to make a couple of mortgage payments. I realized, even then, that a luxury timepiece is pretty; but, overkill for what it does. I have written before about my collection of Smartwatches, which are also attractive; but, they do so much more. My current Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, tells time, gives the date, and much, much more. It shows me my email, text messages, weather, blood pressure, heart rate, does a competent ECG, measures my steps, and my blood oxygen levels. It sends texts, makes phone calls, keeps my calendar, acts as a compass, plays music, can serve as a flashlight, and many other functions. It cost $400. It is truly a mobile computer on my wrist. I have certainly cast off childish things, and am no longer in my salad days. 

Don't Laugh...In A Pinch They Can Double As Napkins.

Open Front Shirt For Men Who Are Proud Of Their Manhood.

Hey, guys! Are you proud to be male? Are you ready to challenge the toxic male stereotype? Do you want to show off that macho chest hair? Do I have a shirt for you. Available in several manly colors. Of course, for some of us, the only thing a shirt like this would show off would be a hairless chest, and an 8 inch scar from the triple bypass. Oh well. I can show off my manhood in some other way.

Don't Be The Guy Who Buys This Smartwatch.

Tag Heuer Connected SmartWatch. It had to happen. Designer watch companies have been having trouble selling their luxury watches that only tell time, and sometimes have a Date complication. I swear, the only thing more insane than spending $10,000 on a luxury watch, is spending $1,800 on a Smartwatch. And that is for a basic metal watch. Louis Vuitton is charging $3,500 for its version. I get spending money on luxury items that are more functional, or are better built, or are somehow superior to other comparable products. But, luxury watches are solely based on bragging about wealth, when actually the purchaser is just advertising to the world that they only care about impressing others. Buy a $500 Smartwatch from Samsung or Apple, and quietly spend the rest on doing good deeds for the less fortunate. Then, don't tell anyone. That would impress me.

Sixties Fashion For A New Century

It may be true. We all turn into our parents. Because, children, this is how our Dads dressed in the Sixties. No wonder some of us went mad, and became flower children. Madras was the thing, and we all had short sleeved Madras shirts. But, put them on a Dad bod, and add shorts and black knee socks, and you were well on the way to "I can't be seen with this man" weekends. Now, we wear shorts in Florida year round. Imagine this Dad bod wearing these outfits. It would be a horror movie. Wow.
