Mobile World Congress - Busy Beehive Shiny Gadgets

The app world conference hall is good for networking and sipping coffee but to have some fun I headed down to the device's conference halls.


AT&T had a virtual tour on a cargo ship. After driving a lift I want to join the union.
Measuring my heart rate with the Asus smart-watch. Yikes; 116, I must be excited by its elegance.












An Ubuntu robot. That's a mobile device too, it's not all about phones.

 HTC's Re wide angle camera on it's dinosaur shaped charger. It takes two hands to operate, one for the camera and another for the connected phone with the display. Still, I want one.
Ford also makes bikes. This bike's horn, light and signals are controlled by an iPhone.
Zenfone: the screen reacts to the cover and minimizes to a small circular display. Very handy.
 LG Flex 2 adjusts to your butt curves. I wish my iPhone 5 had such a durable glass.
Mini projector and a mini computer, together making a perfect home theater.


And the best gadget was not even on display: phone charging lockers!

SDM from up on the bridge

I am taking the first spring semester as a long distance student in MIT's System Design and Managment (SDM) program. The long distance option, which I am grateful for, poses some challenges. A month into the semester, I am still trying to improve the interaction with the classroom, faculty and fellow students and maintain a balance between school and work. Setting up a work station I am using my home office (/living room /dining room/ guest sofa) from which I connect to the ‘bridge’. I find it useful to work with two screens. One displays the class, the mike controls and my video (I want to see how I appear to people looking at me from the classroom). The other displays the presentation slides and notebook (OneNote). The webcam is positioned above the main screen and when I look at the other screen, I am not facing the webcam. Class participation The video and sound quality are good. Material is always available before hand on the web. So keeping up with the studies is eas...
