Socks with Sandals

I've often wondered why people wear socks with sandals. I always kinda thought the purpose of sandals was to get down and dirty with your hippy self. Air out these feet. Feel the sunshine. Let them breathe and play around for a little while. Wearing socks defeats that purpose. Wearing socks is restricting. Wearing socks is...a personal decision...but think about letting your toes-ies catch some UV action next time.

Special glasses for laptop use in plane

Some airlines (Delta, United, Virgin etc) are rushing to offer Wi-Fi internet connections in economy. Most people cite cramped space on the tray table as the major problem for laptop use in a flight but I think privacy is a more serious problem. Text chatting with my girlfriend or friends, I wouldn't want the guys sitting next to me reading what I write. We are all curious creatures by nature and easily tempted to read into everything that gets displayed on someone else's computer screen.

One way to solve the privacy issue is with special use glasses that the passenger puts on to watch what is displayed on the computer screen which stays turned off. I looked up online and found out that head mounted display glasses already exist. They connect to common video sources and are ideal for mobile entertainment and information applications.

I expect that as in-flight Wi-Fi becomes available and people take their laptops with them, there will be a big demand for use of such glasses to protect privacy. I think it's a smart investment to buy stocks of companies that make them.

Bring your favorite personal trainer to the gym

Not exactly bring him or her physically. Install touch screen monitors next to gym equipment that are wirelessly connected to the internet. Skype with your personal trainer to show you how to perform the exercises and encourage you to keep going. Good or famous instructors can charge you for their time. Or select from a free range of classes, tips and techniques made by other instructors.
