Robots are becoming more advanced and soon we will most likely have something close to Rosie (Jetsons) invading our homes as common as computers. The more we see their capabilities the stranger it will seem incorporating them within our lives. This video of a Japanese robot with life-like movements that most humans can not do, such as slick dance and aerobatic moves only intensifies the yearning for wanting one. Until they are available for mass production all we can do is watch with envy.
IMHO The one thing that is missing from this video is a dubstep soundtrack.
Mini storage may seem like a low-tech market: you rent a unit, they give you some keys, and you store stuff in it. This view is partly true; storage is pretty straightforward for the consumer. But modern storage facilities have lots of technological concerns: record-keeping, marketing and security.
Inside Self Storage suggests that storage facility owners should take advantage of video calling and cloud data: “Self storage operators use a lot of forms that are all typically printed and stored in filing cabinets at the property. A simple-to-use, cloud-based document-management service could help operators save money, run a more green business, and have a better handle on lease agreements.”

Every day we awaken to earn another dollar. To work, is to keep food on our own table, pay bills of necessity and of the things we want, it is what we have been taught from generation to generation which is, working and making money is what keeps the world going round.
Does it?
Having a career and working is essential to keeping us alive, yes, money is important, however, does it truly keep this world of ours spinning in peace and harmony? No.
As a global society, we may have forgotten or put aside the true meaning of life, paying it forward.
Have we dismissed the quality of life that we want to lead?
Perhaps it is due to the economy, the way we are forced to struggle to earn enough money to keep our lifestyles intact. On the other hand, maybe it is due to the greed of our Governments, of those that are in power, even those who are rich may be the cause or perhaps the excuse of what has become of our world, a sense of emptiness, loneliness; a fight for individual gain.
Although taught that money is the key to happiness, each of us arguably knows that when offered a smile, a courtesy, a genuine thought or words of positivity, we feel different. A sense of warmth overwhelms us; we feel a sensation of love, of being understood, seen or heard. Any of these gifts given by another individual has more power than money could ever buy; it is recognition that we are alive.
Perhaps anger and injustice would not harness our world if we did not live for ourselves, if we were not waking only for personal gain, if in amongst each day we added a little something within the lives of another. Perhaps then and only then, our world could find some peace, tolerance and discover the true meaning of unconditional love.
What will make the world a better place?
Another form of currency, Kindness, a simple act can make a bigger impact if we just pay it forward. Maybe One Day, Could be Today.
The recycling of great music is an art unto itself. Taking someone’s original song and playing it takes both courage and a willingness to face critical comparison. Most performers, even seasoned ones, avoid performing cover songs whenever possible, but some of the best musicians have not only taken on the challenge, they’ve conquered it.
The year 2011 was a year of numerous modifications, the world shifted in a variety of ways, as we witnessed uprisings from around the world. Revolutions unfolded amongst countries, people had to overcome adversity and the world grew to 7 billion people.
2011 was a year of hardships, as lives in Japan were changed forever from devastating earthquakes and tsunamis, floods overwhelmed Brazil that rippled effects around the world breaking hearts as each image unfolded. Many other disasters occurred this year as well, although not mentioned does not mean they went unfelt.
2011 was the year to watch the falling of a terrorist, to feel a sense of justice for those immediately affected by 9/11 attacks and the final rise of the last Space Shuttle Program launch.
2011 changed in search and social, adding a new social network, making search more social and uniting people from around the world even closer.
In 2011, the Prince found a Princess, The Oprah Winfrey show said goodbye, many celebrities got divorced, and politicians kept being politicians.
The biggest transformation that made a huge impact globally in 2011 was being an eyewitness, bystander or participant in changing the way we are heard; no longer do countries want to be silenced, controlled or forgotten. This transformation has been so tremendous even enabling Time Magazine to recognize 2011’s person of the year as “The Protester”.
One of the most sought-after talents in tech companies is graphic design. Venture- and public-funded firms know that talented graphic designers are often hard to come by even in a down economy and they’re willing to pay to get top talent. It has caused an explosion in the number of people turning their artistic and computer skills into the creative realm of technology.
Many times throughout our lives people ask the age old question “What Would You Buy If You Were Rich?” I could say I would be responsible and make sure that everyone and their grandma would not have any debt, would drive a fast car and live in a mansion, but I would be a liar. I would want the coolest gadgets, geektastic toys and downright crazy stuff to adorn MY mansion with, so here are my top 6 things I would buy if I was rich. (Hey, at least I am honest!)
Ahem.
1.Customizable Shark Seabreacher
Yep. That’s right, if I was rich I wouldn’t buy a yacht or a cruise ship, I would buy a custom made Seabreacher and have it look like a shark. This baby can submerge underwater and launch up in the air at high speeds. Some of their high tech features include; a snorkel mounted video camera that transmits live video to LCD screens for the pilot and passenger during dives, GPS navigation, and on board stereo system with iPod docking. Starting Price: $ 81,000 USD.
Made by the same folks who created Pac-Man, Namco, the 30th Anniversary is built with the 1980 cabinets that are reminiscent of those days. If I was rich, I would put this bad boy in my newly designed man cave and drool over its 19″ LCD monitor that captures the vintage graphics, customize its look with the removable decals and deactivated coin doors. While dancing to the sounds of “Wocka, Wocka, Wocka” and spend my days playing Pac-Man and the 12 other vintage games that come included. Price: $3,500 CAD.
Every room would have one of these terrific DOC XL sofa bunk beds, for the night’s we party too hard or for family and friends to crash on, if I was rich of course. Besides, I don’t know why we give up on bunk beds just cause we grow up. Price: $5400 USD.
In western culture, musicians rely on local bars, talent agents, and the internet to advance their music and earn the chance to showcase their music to people who can help them succeed. Radio stations still play a small part but not nearly the way thing were in 50s-70s. Today, most radio stations only play the music of those who have already made it.
