The reason I am constantly showing you creative LEGO displays is because they have come a long way since our children played with them. Thanks to technology, Giuseppe Acito, an Italian music producer, was able to put together the “Toa Mata Band,” a quartet that includes several small robotic LEGO figures programmed to play various electronic instruments.
It’s difficult to believe that YouTube is just eight years old and is now one of the major communications vehicles in the world. Congratulations, YouTube! You have certainly changed our lives.
As a senior American, I can honestly say that the last few years of my life have been extremely fascinating because of all of the advances in technology. I love when I hear other seniors remark that they are thrilled to be witnessing all of the innovation as well. I wonder why other contemporaries don’t feel as fortunate.
YouTube alone is a wonderment. I use YouTube for everything, from creating my own channel (lwhitman) to researching every imaginable topic. I don’t know why, but I am always amazed that when I type in a topic in the search box, the greatest reference videos appear. I couldn’t ask for better explanations.
Jack Dorsey
Take a good look at his picture. You may not be familiar with him, but in the digital world he is an American hero. He could be the future Mayor of New York City. His name is Jack Dorsey. He is worth $1.3 billion. He co-founded Twitter and Square. He grew up in the Midwest and now lives in San Francisco.
I don’t know what came over me. I actually posted a Happy Birthday to William Oakley on his Facebook page when he has been dead for two years. For those of you who do not know this, Facebook lists the birthday of everyone you are connected to. Most Facebook members check that page every day and send wishes to everyone who has a birthday. It is conceivable that one person could receive hundreds of birthday wishes on his or her special day.
Every time we get ready to travel it is the same old routine.
1) Have we been upgraded to first class?
2) Do our coach seats have the extra leg room?
3) What will the weather be like when we take off? Continue reading
Every time you turn around, LEGO has a new tech gizmo. Here is the LEGO paper plane folding machine V2.0.
This contraption folds and launches paper planes. I could watch this all day. It proves that this is a company that knows how to take advantage of the digital revolution. Continue reading
Even Holland Taylor, who portrays former Democratic Governor of Texas Ann Richards in the play she also wrote, made it her business to note the big change that was happening in the United States during her term. “We are just entering the Information Age that is going to change us forever.”
Lena Dunham
I went to work on two hours sleep today. I did okay until around 2-ish when my eyes started to close. I don’t know if it was exhaustion or the big lunch I ate, but I was ready to pass out. I made it through three successful telephone conference calls with clients and a staff meeting, but by the time business associate Susan Babcock came to visit me this afternoon, I was ready for bed.
Hollywood is stunned. This has never happened before. Will it ever happen again?
I am referring to the fact that the movie version of the CW TV show Veronica Mars just got funded through Kickstarter in 12 hours. This is history in the making.
