Raspberry Pi is too yesterday, and a bit heavier in today's everything must be thinner, slimmer and light weight world.

Welcome Tessel, a true hardware development platform for true programmers.

this example streams sound data from // the ambient sensor every 0.5 seconds var tessel = require(‘tessel’); var ambientlib = require(‘ambient-attx4’); var WebSocket = require(‘ws’); // Connect to our ambient sensor. var ambient = ambientlib.use(tessel.port[‘A’]); // Open a websocket to our app.

Upgrade to Android 5.1 on my Nexus 5 , manually

Can't wait for latest Android upgrade OTA so have to DIY and in a few manual steps.

Previous version 5.0.1 seems having stability issues – animation out of control after using for a while; the system response become slower and slower every day after consequent heavy usage. Now I cultivate a new habit rebooting my Nexus 5 every week.

Can't stand this anymore so I'm eager to upgrade a more stable and reliable Nexus major upgrade soon after it's released this week.

A Professor Explained Marketing to MBA Students

1. You see a gorgeous girl in party. You go to her and say I am rich marry me.

That’s Direct Marketing.

2. You attend party and your friend goes to a girl and pointing at you tells her "He’ is very rich, marry him."

That’s Advertising.

3. Girl walks to you and says "you are rich, can you marry me?"

That’s Brand Recognition.

4. You say "I'm very rich marry me" and she slaps you.

That’s Customer Feedback.

5. You say "I'm very rich marry me" and she introduces you to her husband.

That’s Demand and Supply Gap.

6. Before you say “I’m rich, marry me”, your wife arrives.

That’s Restriction from Entering New Market.

Adam LeWinter and Jeff Orlowski were in Greenland when they caught a moment on film that no one else in history had ever seen. The filmmakers called the event “Magical, miraculous, horrible, scary thing.”

While amazing, the film clip from the “Chasing Ice” documentary is also proof that climate change is having a profound effect on our planet.
