Everything you own should be something you either love dearly or use yearly.

40 Years, 25 Lessons — Advice To Graduates

Good rule for life

(via khuyi)

This. I just did a major closet sweep of all my unused gear. Its a magic moment giving away something that was weighing you down by taking up space. The additional beneficial externality is even greater once the item is redistributed to someone else and becomes the one thing the next person loves dearly.

John Newman - Love Me Again

This song is a party in an mp3.

The last time I posted a music video, it kindof blew up. I’m making a similar prediction with this one. Hope the band can learn it by 8-10-13.

HOT4D v0.3 Ocean Test 01

It is somewhat rare that a video makes me verbally react with just, “Wow!” Computer Graphics (“CG”) is so incredible powerful and now that faster computers are being matched with talented and creative artists, we will continue to be blown away at how well 1’s and 0’s can look even more real than the world around us.

Apparently this is a Toolkit plugin for Cinema4D, so any Cinema4D programmer/artist can download this and build upon it – simply amazing. (I am sorry if I vastly oversimplified this process, CG is not truly within my field of knowledge beyond spinning a teapot in OpenGL).

Daylight savings time adjustment makes the sun hit my lucky cat when I come into work. Hopefully an office full of reflective gold light is a lucky office. (at Water Planet Engineering HQ)

Six hours sleep for a man, seven for a woman, and eight for a fool.

- Napoleon Bonaparte

Very consistently I have been sleeping about 6 hours a night on weeknights. My self mandated commitment to health, work, and school permits less time in the day for sleep. I am incredibly lucky to be a member of the small subset of the population that is able to continue to perform at a high level of of work (quantity and quality) with 6 or less hours of sleep per night.

When I do finally lay down at night to rest, I do so exhausted and sleep extremely well all night long, thus giving me incredible energy for the day ahead. I am sure Napolean felt the same.

Imagine a world where your iPhone, car or any electronic device charges fully in 30 seconds to a minute. Well, that world has arrived. 

Scientists at UCLA have accidentally found the future of batteries and its very exciting. Watch this short little clip & be amazed.

Awesome. While everyone has been focusing on extending battery life, these guys may have alleviated the core problem from the other side. If you can charge your phone in a minute and have that charge last for hours, I’m sold.

Also, see: previous post.

I love it when one of Water Planet Engineering’s Founders & Advisors is recognized for their ground breaking research and practical application development, such as Dr. Richard Kaner’s incredible research highlighted in this video.

Your passion for learning and gaining more and more experience are what make you great. The nights you stayed up until 5am coding make you great. Your love of building things makes you great.

We ran the election 66,000 times every night,” said a senior official, describing the computer simulations the campaign ran to figure out Obama’s odds of winning each swing state. “And every morning we got the spit-out — here are your chances of winning these states. And that is how we allocated resources.
