Today is my 30th birthday, so I'm writing this letter to Google

I'm going to put all the jokes about my youth coming to a close aside and talk about something that I usually don't ever speak of. The wave of technology in the past couple decades has been amazing. I used a lite brite as a kid. Now 3 year olds are using iPads. We've reached whole new levels but have somehow managed to ignore people with disabilities who could really benefit from these advancements. I know we all want to create things for recreation, but how about helping some people out along the way.

Hearing disabilities are rarely ever talked about and if you watched that deaf girl hear for the first time on youtube about a year ago, you'd think that deafness had been cured once and for all. Less than 1% of hearing impaired people in the U .S. could even benefit from the type of surgery she... mehr »

Happy Father's Day Plussers!

A Personal message for friends on Google+,

I know I have been bothering you for the last 2 weeks with endless posts about the demonstrations in Turkey. I do apologize for keeping your streams busy with my posts only from Turkey instead of my regular scientific posts, any  #caturday  pictures which I adore, etc. I have not been able to interact to your wonderful posts for a log time, too
Exceptional things are happening in Turkey, not only in Istanbul but also in almost all other major cities in Turkey. Millions of peaceful demonstrators are taking streets to protect their basic human rights against a government which started to intervene with their way of life in such a broad spectrum from how many kids they should have to what they should drink, from what type of education their kids need to take to what they should watch on theirT... mehr »

Researchers have engineered a new adeno-associated virus that could greatly expand gene therapy to help restore sight to patients with blinding diseases like retinitis pigmentosa and macular degeneration.

The monkey sat on a pile of stones
And stared at the broken bone in his hand
Strains of a Viennese quartet
Rang out across the land
The monkey looked up at the stars
And thought to himself
Memory is a stranger
History is for fools
And he cleaned his hands
In a pool of holy writing
Turned his back on the garden
And set out for the nearest town
Hold on hold on soldier
When you add it all up
The tears and the marrowbone
There's an ounce of gold
And an ounce of pride in each ledger
And the Germans killed the Jews
And the Jews killed the Arabs
And the Arabs killed the hostages
And that is the news
And is it any wonder
That the monkey's confused
He said Mama Mama
The President's a fool
Why do I have to keep reading
These technical manuals
And the joint chiefs of... mehr »

We're thinking about supplying Al Qaeda with weapons.

Haven't they got any left from the last time we armed them?

“She was very distraught when this happened,” Landon said. “He started shooting them right in front of her. Her children were upstairs in view of the windows. They started screaming and crying because they heard the gunshots. They started screaming, ‘Mommy, he’s killing the kittens.’”

And I think to myself....

What a wonderful world.

Your eyes can deceive you!

I've tried #juggling with my eyes shut before. I used to do it as a joke.

"Wanna see me juggle with my eyes shut?"

"Yeah, go on then."

Thud! Thud! Thud!

I never thought I'd have any success with it, but I'm pretty pleased with this.

What is wealth? True wealth. Is it just having as much money as possible?

Or is it having happiness, good health and the love of people?

A lot of people say: "I don't care what they think of me."

But I do. I care. I don't want to be hated. I want to be liked.

I'd love to be able to make a difference individually.

The only way I can make a tiny difference though, is to be part of something.

It's the 21st century and people are still starving to death.

We still accept that it's alright for the greed of the few to syphon life from the needs of the many.

But what if...?

It fascinates me this spying stuff. George Orwell, Big Brav, ya know.

It's obviously been going on for ages. Well, at least I think it has. I mean I've read about the NSA storing emails and what not for a bit now. From the mouth of a reputable source too (I even posted about it, or reshared it). But it's always been a bit of an underground conspiracy theory. Until now.

No doubt one of the main arguments is that it's needed to stop events such as the recent Boston bombings.

But it's been going on a while now and it's obviously not worked that well.

Do you think people are going to be so frivolous with their nefarious plans now the cat is well and truly out of the bag?

Or is it just needed to secure a successful prosecution?

How do you feel about your private conversations being stored away?

"Yeah, I'm in the field of medicine because I care about people and want to help them want to make loads of money."

The reason the test is so expensive is this: In 1998 Myriad Genetics patented two genes: BRCA1 and BRCA2. With its exclusive rights, Myriad developed a test for mutations on those genes trademarked "BRACAnalysis." Because it essentially owns the genes, Myriad is the only company that can conduct the test, so it sets the price.

Why do I care so much more
When it's one of ours killed in the war?

When children lose their lives or limbs
All because of political whims

Hardly a single eyelid batted
To hear of tiny souls so shattered

But when it comes to our shore
That's when I start to care much more

So spare a thought for over there
It's everyday that we don't care

See  the hate that this thing breeds
Over there we  plant  more seeds

I choose to belong to the third side
Wrong is wrong, no matter who died

My little corner I've appropriated in the park. I've been really hammering this #juggling  routine recently. I don't think I'll ever be a graceful juggler, I'm in too much of a rush for some reason. 

But I've completed my routine a few times now, once this morning and once at dinner. And in tonight's practice I even added an extra trick, the alarming right, middle, left. (That's a joke that no one will get ;)) I pulled it off but I never caught it on video. This is the closest I got.

Yeah, that look "like I want to kill the camera" that's my face when I'm concentrating, not something you'd want to see down a dark alley, but what can I do? Wear a balaclava?

The smiles are when I fluff something. I'm quite happy with my transition into chops and under the legs but I got the columns wrong, I threw the wrong colour up.W... mehr »

I love this place, and no one around. Maybe they knew it was gonna rain. I've got a spot in the corner to practice in. I kept hitting the barrier with a club last night. clang! Today someone's moved it. Coincidence? Probably.

Only got half hour in and the rain started. Now it's stopped when I get home.

I'm really looking forward to all the flowers coming out, I suppose the down side is it'll get really busy.

It's pretty obvious how it's done, but maybe not so much the first time around. And, you can get better at it with a bit of practice.

Remember, never show 'em the same trick twice ;)
