Monday Motivation - February 17th
Morning guys,
I trust you're all meditating an hour a day, sleeping well, exercising perfectly, have your nutrition completely dialled in, reading all the books you mean to and thriving in every way... right?! No?! Weird…Actually, me either. But at least we're trying!
The last couple of posts from me have been about getting prepared for a wonderful 2020, so this week I'm taking my foot off the gas and shifting attention to some new tech that has me amazed.
James Bond ski gloves
It's a phone built into your ski gloves – seriously. It connects via Bluetooth to your smartphone and you make calls on your gloves. No doubt Craig will be sporting these little beauties soon.
A heads-up display for your face
I think this is both scary and completely awesome at the same time - it's a contact lens that offers sports scores (lol), directions and night-time vision (OMG!!!). Soooo Robocop.
Your running digital footprint
Lots of running stores have the sensor pad/mat that you walk - or run - across to measure how your foot strikes and moves through its motion, and that's pretty cool. However, imagine if you could have a sensor pad that measured all your strides – well, here it is. This insole measures all your steps and promises to improve your technique, make you run faster and avoid injury. Awesome.
Paperless-paper
Errrr… yeah. So this is seriously cool – it’s kind of like a Kindle that you can write on, it converts your handwriting into text, you can sync it to your calendar, computer, (gloves and contact lenses!?) and smartphone. Just as importantly, it doesn't do YouTube, Insta, Facebook etc., so you might actually get some work done.
Build your own phone
It's a thing. We've been led to believe that when a phone dies, we buy a new one. Well, the clever people at Fairphone have designed a phone that cares for the planet by using recycled metals, replaceable bits and pays their workers properly. (It will also link to your gloves via Bluetooth!)
That's it from me this week.
Stay special,
Luke
