Day 33

One Third of the Way There

Thirty three days have passed since I started this blog and I'm beginning to grok Glass.  It's certainly not a technology or tool that you pick up in a day or even a week. Glass gives you opportunities to do things differently, but in a subtle manner.  You have to think about solving a particular problem from another direction instead of the linear desktop computer methods we typically apply. 



It can be said that Glass is just a webcam on your face.  It lets you take lots of photos and videos, sharing them with your friends.  But that understates what it means to have pervasive personal sensors in large numbers in the environment.  If people with cellphones can capture a plane ditching in the waters off Hawaii, a substitute teacher ranting about conspiracy theories, or other unusual events in unusual places at unusual times, imagine how dense the network of images and content will be when there are more than a few thousand explorers out there.

The Vet's Office, again

This morning Bella and Paddy were at the vet's again.  Bella was in for a post-antibiotic urine sample and a blood pressure check.  Paddy has been losing weight for no reason.  Results of tests will be in tomorrow, but for now, Bella's BP is getting treating and Paddy is taking small doses of Pepcid.  Here's Doc Barb palpating Paddy's abdomen while Caro looks on.
