“I taught the computer how to diagnose breast cancer,” Brittany Wenger, the Lakewood Ranch resident, told me today. “And this is really important because currently the least invasive form of biopsy is actually the least conclusive, so a lot of doctors can’t use them.” Wenger wanted to create a way for more doctors to use the minimally invasive procedure, called Fine Needle Aspirate, in order to ease the process of having lumps examined. Breast cancer affects one in eight women worldwide, she noted, including members of her family. “Early detection is really important,” Wenger said. “And that is what I’m trying to do with my neural network.” Read the rest of the article at NBC News Jerry Seinfeld’s new web series, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, which has been developed in partnership with Sony Pictures Television’s Crackle service, debuts this week on July 19 at 9pm. As the title suggests, the show is an interview series where the comedian drives around and sits down for a chat with fellow comedians and other famous friends. There aren’t too many other details on the web show as to how many episodes will be released or even the length of each episode, just that each one will feature a conversation between Seinfeld and his guest. The list of guests scheduled to appear include Larry David (naturally), Ricky Gervais, Alec Baldwin, and more.
It is such a terrible, empty feeling. The older we get, the more nervous we get about the whereabouts of our luggage. I never pack my meds, extra eye glasses, jewelry, laptop, iPad, Kindle, chargers, and important papers. All that is in my carry on.
Wait to you hear about this. The PocketFinder is a personal GPS. It fits in the palm of your hand. You can use it to track people, pets, vehicles and in my case luggage from the web, the iPhone or Android mobile devices. It’s available for $149.00 and a small monthly charge for the service.
Just think about the possibilities of tracking a person with dementia or your child, grandchild or even pets. Users can customize the map application by establishing zonesthat automatically send alerts if a loved one enters or leaves a zone on foot or in a vehicle. In addition, speed alerts can be set that notify users if a vehicle exceeds set speed limits. Alerts are sent instantly via email, SMS text, and push notification. The devices are as easy to recharge as a cell phone.
Don’t tell me that you don’t find this mind bloggling? Who ever thought there would be a day that we could track people and things from our telephone? What an unbelievable time to be alive!
Just this morning a friend of mine over 50 couldn’t find his cell phone in my apartment. He couldn’t remember what room he was in and where he might have left it. He went into a complete panic mode even though Eliot and I were immediately looking for it. When we couldn’t find it, we simply dialed his cell from the house phone (Yes, we still have a landline) and it began ringing in his carry-on bag. He said he always puts his cell phone in his pocket so he was dumbfounded how it got in his mini luggage.
That is why I am introducing you to the Magellan eXplorist 110. The GPS receiver is really for outdoor navigation when you want to repeatedly go to a specific spot when fishing, hiking, hunting, and biking. However, some of my friends have resorted to hanging the GPS unit around their neck as if it was a mini compass. It records their every move with a series of digital breadcrumbs. They now can easily retrace their steps. No more threat of memory loss. It retails for $129.99. Steve shows off the latest, greatest gifts for dad on New Day Northwest this morning. Advertisements bombard us at every corner, but what if billboards were tailored to who was driving by? It hasn’t happened yet, but General Motors is considering developing that technology through its OnStar service. Imagine a world where you’re driving and the billboard ads you pass are made specifically to you. Like coffee? An ad will appear for Starbucks up ahead. Traveling with kids? There’s a bathroom rest-stop coming up.
