I'm a Square

I recently ordered a free card reader from one of the co-founders of Twitter Jack Dorsey, the reason being that I'm a music producer and one of my friends told me about this card reader to help me start expanding my clientele. It's annoying to have to make out a check, go to the bank, if you are right there ready to give something they want. I think this is an awesome technology and am excited about using it. I also saw this video of Jack doing an interview with Charlie Rose and he said something that I really admire about how he feels technology should be, aside from having it pushed to you, "The best technology reminds us of our humanness" and hopefully new technology continues to do so

Similarity to Mary Shelly's Frankenstein?

A few weeks ago I was watching Death Race 2, a prequel-sequel to a good movie with Jason Statham. The movie is about a dangerous car race that prisoners take part in to win their freedom from prison. Death Race to shows how a famous race is created. His creation involves death so to say and the director of the movie compared him to Mary Shelly's Frankenstein. I don't think he's that much relatable, but what do you think?

Kill The Cricket

So while researching for class I came across something when I was on wired.com: calm.com. The blogger mention how it reminded them of soma which is the alcoholic but has no effect drug in Brave New Word. It's an ok experience as far as being calmed down, but there is a cricket that makes noise the whole time and somehow I feel I was conditioned to want to kill it.
