Hey Kungfucius, check out these glasses!
If the head drops below a certain level, a little motor kicks-off to vibrate the earpiece and no doubt scare the crap out of whoever is wearing them. The glasses can be set to go off at one of four levels of head-droop.
With lenses the price is $370, which is not completely outlandish for glasses. I doubt these would really be very useful, but I think it’s a fun idea. Almost as good as the Solariix.
Ugh, hobbling around all day today sucks. Last night at Karate we were practicing footwork and ways to switch stances and push off in various ways. At one point I guess my feint worked too well and my partner got confused. Instead of dodging, he stepped into me and landed hard on my left foot. So now the middle toe on my left foot is injured. While sitting around it doesn’t hurt that much, whenever I put any weight on it, the toe hurts like the dickens. I feel like I am trying to walk with no toes on my left foot, and so I have to sorta limp-shuffle around. Plus, my right leg’s calf is starting to feel kinda sore both from yesterday’s class and having to compensate for my left leg being useless.
Awesome read (ongoing) about a guy who went white hat and helped the FBI monitor digital thieves. While on the one hand he got to take really long showers, avoid jail, and live on the FBI’s payroll, he definitely had some hard work to do. I was reminded of Catnip’s identity theft ordeal while I was reading the article.
I don’t like giving money to beggars. I give to charities, but almost never to anyone who solicits me on the street. I just feel that the money is better given and distributed in aggregate and with regulations. However, yesterday I had to make an exception.
So Bunky and I were walking back from the swank new Borders bookstore when a heavy snowstorm hit. As we trekked back in the snow and commented on how miserable the weather was, we noticed a homeless man at the corner of the supermarket. The man looked like he was going to be buried in the snow. We had to buy some stuff at the supermarket and neither of us could really bear to just leave him hanging out there. So I picked up 8 hand-warmer packs and a $10 gift certificate for the supermarket and gave it to him. He mentioned that he was on his last handwarmer, so the contribution was much appreciated. He was very polite and pleasant. I wished him the best of luck.
I guess it’s hard to really stick to your principles without considering the circumstances.
