IS IT POSSIBLE TO FALL IN LOVE WITH A SHOE?

IS IT POSSIBLE TO FALL IN LOVE WITH A SHOE?

I've been searching for shoes to carry me in finishing a marathon. I've been using Nike Shox for the past two years, and they have provided me with solid support. So I decided to splurge over the weekend and invest in the new Nike Air Max 360's. And wow! Even with blisters on my feet, I was able to run a solid 4 miles relatively pain free. My knees feel much better, the cushioning is amazing. Light as a feath, smooth on those long runs, and seems very durable. This puppy could last mean years. So yeah, it was kinda like love at first run, I can't wait to take these out for a spin.

HOW TO SURVIVE A BROKEN HEART

HOW TO SURVIVE A BROKEN HEART
I should let this go but I just can't
And now it's just a lesson I can't grasp

And the things you said
Do they still make sense?
Could you mean them now?
Did you even mean them then?
I could torture myself insane and tense
But I don't have the strength

I'm crushed in pain you drifted through my life
But even looking back I know it's right
I gave you my heart scared complete and whole
When all you ever asked for was my soul

And there's nothing left
But a song or two
That mean not a thing
If I can't play them for you
If I could hear your voice just one more time
Maybe I'd be fine

But I guess I won't
'Cos it's too late now
And I guess you're gone
'Cos it's too late now
And the pain I feel
Is all I can take
Maybe this turn of karma
Is too late
Maybe I was wrong
Maybe I was caught In a net of passion
Maybe I was caught
Maybe I should take it all with salt
And soon I'll believe that it's not my fault
And it's not my fault
And it's not my fault
And it's not my fault
And it's not my fault
And it's not my fault
And it's not my fault
If I say it enough
I'll believe that It's not my fault...

THE NEW YEAR

THE NEW YEAR
So this is the new year, I don't feel any different. I've settled in a little bit of a comfort zone for the past couple of months, and usually is not good for me physically and emotionally. I'm feeling like I need to get out of dodge, soon. I'm getting Angelino fever, L.A. can swallow you up whole when you least expect it, you really have to fight for every single inch of sanity in this city some times. I have committed myself to the L.A. marathon in March, I'm a little out of shape, I really let myself go the past few months. I need to get that edge back; that killer instinct, that driving force within me. I have two months to do that.

I WANT THIS...

I WANT THIS...

Scientist at the University of Tokyo (damn them Japanese are smart) have developed an optical-camouflage technology, that in essence allows you have an invisibility cloak.

Optical camouflage doesn't work by way of magic. It works by taking advantage of something called augmented-reality technology -- a type of technology that was first pioneered in the 1960s by Ivan Sutherland and his students at Harvard University and the University of Utah.

Augmented-reality systems add computer-generated information to a user's sensory perceptions. Imagine, for example, that you're walking down a city street. As you gaze at sites along the way, additional information appears to enhance and enrich your normal view. Perhaps it's the day's specials at a restaurant or the show times at a theater or the bus schedule at the station. What's critical to understand here is that augmented reality is not the same as virtual reality. While virtual reality aims to replace the world, augmented reality merely tries to supplement it with additional, helpful content.

To create this augmented-reality system as part of a cloak, retro-reflective garment is used. The garment doesn't actually make the person invisible, in fact, it's perfect opaque. What the garment does is create an illusion of invisibility by acting like a movie screen onto which an image from the background is projected. All augmented-reality systems rely on powerful computers to synthesize graphics and then superimpose them on a real-world image.
