After our high-tech money belt, Wolferine Claws, Square payment system, FlapIt app, etc... I thought this might interest you.



Here's the new event created by the AllThingsD team....

Just in case you couldn't go!

(Have a look at the videos!)





What do you think?  How about a comment? See you in two weeks for our last class!

 "Re/code welcomes you to the debut of Code Conference—produced by the same straight-shooting, visionary team who delivered the D: All Things Digital Conference since 2003.
 Code Conference is where top industry influencers in media and technology gather for in-depth conversations about the impact of digital technology on our lives and our businesses, today and in the future. Executive producers and conference creators Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher go head to head with the same caliber of industry luminaries who shared their stage at the D conference. D featured conversations with the likes of Bill Gates, Elon Musk, George Lucas, and the late Steve Jobs—and Code Conference promises to keep pace, while also adding exciting new elements to the attendee experience."

Amy Cuddy: Your body language shapes who you are | Talk Video | TED.com:

"Body language affects how others see us, but it may also change how we see ourselves. Social psychologist Amy Cuddy shows how “power posing” — standing in a posture of confidence, even when we don’t feel confident — can affect testosterone and cortisol levels in the brain, and might even have an impact on our chances for success."

How do you go about succeeding when you have an interview or "Toefl oral" you have to pass?

Maybe this will help... what do you think?

It deals with super glasses that make you feel your are basically immersed in a 3D virtual world.

Do you think we will be able to meet virtually all of our Facebook friends ?

As Technology Gets Better Will Society Get Worse

Hello all,

Here's an article I found in the NewYorker that tries to answer the question: is technological evolution more important to humanity’s near future than biological evolution ?
I found it interesting and that it raised pertinent questions.

creativeLIVE: Photoshop Week 2014

creativeLIVE: Photoshop Week 2014:



"PHOTOSHOP WEEK 2014
5 DAYS, 40 CLASSES, 60 HOURS"

Free streaming workshops!

Everything you wanted to know and never dared ask about PhotoShop and Lightroom!

Do you
know the creativelive online workshops? Their real-time (free) broadcasts are
in the evenings and nights here in France, and are rebroadcast (streamed for
free) for a day or two after the workshop. (Their business model is to encourage you to buy them to watch whenever you want.)

Do you use PhotoShop or Adobe Lightroom? This
week's workshop program might "enlighten" you to new features or
workflows...  (On channel B he's showing advanced image retouching at right this minute...)



Hope all is going well for you! Looking forward
to seeing you soon.

The Sochi effect

And here is an article of The New Yorker that I found interesting about the Sochi Winter Olympics Games and corruption.
Among other things it explains the short term and long term impact that government's corruption has on a country's economy.
