People Love Angry-Faced Cars

source site – People Love Angry-Faced Cars | LiveScience

If a Toyota Prius just looks too friendly for your tastes, you’re not alone. People readily see faces and traits in cars, and a new study suggests that they prefer cars to appear dominant, masculine and angry.

i could relate to the article as i too prefer cars that have an aggressive gait to their design. perhaps it is about the indication of inherent power, speed and agility that these cars stand for. but one car design that probably bucks the linkage of power to looks is perhaps the porsches: they seem to look quite friendly and cheerful. the BMW’s on the other hand has an aggressive / angry look that reflects the brand’s essence of ultimate driving experience.

Zen Moments – the great power of small things

source site – Zen Moments – the great power of small things

source article – The Cab Ride I’ll Never Forget

We’re conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great moments. But great moments often catch us unaware – beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one.

we often live thinking that we can convince others to change their ways by arguing about the logic, the data and details. i personally find that people do not often listen when you spout data and facts in a manner that is devoid of things that touch the hearts and minds. i believe that people will listen if you are passionate about what you believe in, if you are able to win their hearts and minds. this is not easy. however, we can do some small things to change and make an impact to others.

this site – zen moments collects a few stories of inspiration. of how peoples lives have changed through little things.

Zen Moments are the small things that make a huge difference…

Zen Moments happen at times when we stop pushing to try to get somewhere else, when we open our eyes and hearts to the present moment, to that which right is in front of us…

Zen Moments are stories of extraordinary awareness at work in ordinary situations – moments of looking with fresh eyes…

Such moments can be beautiful, inspiring, transforming, haunting, and can linger with us long after they have passed.

10 sci-fi technologies that just might happen

source site – 10 sci-fi technologies that just might happen | Geekend | TechRepublic.com

My buddies at SFSignal pointed me towards this Top 10 list of sci-fi tropes and technologies that will never come true. Well, being a contrarian who likes a challenge, I’ve decided to postulate circumstances wherein each of these ideas could come to fruition, if only to poke the hornet’s nest. Here we go:

faster than light (ftl) travel, resurrection of dinosaurs, the cure pill etc are just some sci-fi ideas which could quite possibly be achieved in reality. however, we have long predicted the possibility of flying cars… but where are they today?

in any case, this is a little thought provoking article which gives us a bit of foresight on some of the future technologies we want to keep our eyes on today.
