Larger Pockets

It seems these days the buzz is about larger screens. On the one hand people already have drive in movie like screens installed in their homes (see wonderful blog elsewhere on site) but now want more glass to carry on their person. Hence the larger phones that are approaching dinner menu size proportions jutting out of people's pockets. There has come a time to address the garment market in light of the changing phone size. Traditional pants or jeans supported a 5" screen comfortably plus a wallet and other essentials for survival in the urban jungle. Now with the advent of larger screens there is going to be a need to have a kangaroo pouch instead of one pocket on either side of the pants. This will allow user or owner operator to stow large amounts of inventory including makeup and communication devices along with the needed accessories whilst traipsing down the zip line or enjoying a burger at the beach or getting that appendix removed. What is going to get smaller is the amount of change left in the pocket which is just as well since there will not be any room for it after allowing for the 3 D glasses that will soon follow. Use of 3D glasses to see the large glass will lead to some serious confusion as people will lose sense of what is in front of them mistaking the scene on their 3D phones to be realistic. Legislators will have a field day crafting new rules around the use of said pouches and devices within. Police might also get confused trying to arrest individuals as they may not be sure who they are arresting - what is in the screen in front of them or what is in front of them? 'Behind the screens' so to speak!

  1. What if we can design a glass bubble in which you could also sit and move around? Might save you from having to have a car.

Of chocolates

I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.

Columbia SC

 The Palmetto state.  One of the confederate kinds. History dating couple centuries back.  We visited the capital yet again this time to take in the SC State Museum. Occupying the former digs (literally remodeled) of an erstwhile cotton mill this structure is an amazing piece of reimagination.  Four floors of excitement for kids and young at heart alike. Located on the shores of the Congaree River formed when the Broad meets up with the Saluda River, this edifice is approx. 60 years old.  The front of the building has a more modern planetarium that was added about a decade ago.  The museum itself has different areas of interest segregated on each of its four floors. The first floor has gift shop and a diorama of some of the local geography including the swamps and the state beaches with audio guides to help understand what fauna thrives locally. The second floor is all about natural history and showcases animal kingdom that may have survived on this latitud...

Gab about Gaps

There are a number of news stories these days where conversation inevitably turns to discussing some sort of GAP - Gap between rich and poor is growing Gap is losing market share to other clothiers The Dow is Gapping Down (so is the NASDAQ) and the dollar is Gapping Up The guy who advised British public over the PA on dangers of tube travel with the phrase 'MIND THE GAP' has died There is a frightening Gap between our Debts and Savings Gap between Executive pay and Average worker salary is at an all time high All I am doing is listening to all this unfold with my mouth aGAPe. What me worry?
