This episode comes to you from Redmond and just a couple of miles from the Microsoft Campus as we get ready to start the annual MVP Summit. Unfortunately, the awesome summit experience begins on a sad note as we learn that one of our fellow MVP's was killed in the horrific attacks in Christchurch, New Zealand. I share about that and then jump into the weeks the week's tech news which covers our normal range of subjects.

In the last few years, I’ve been working on different ways a drum set can be put together. With electric drums, you can do so much more. Take, for example, this e-drum setup at the Keith McMillen Instruments booth. They were showing off their BopPad smart fabric drum, while bringing in a drumset feel, and […]

Ethics in AI, policy, legal framework are all big threads here. The trigger is the rather funny article Artificial Intelligence, You Know it isn’t real, yeah?

As expected, Shahin comes to the defense of the technology, explaining that it depends on the consensus algorithm and participation, etc. not just blockchain per se. Discussion ensues about all manner of blockchains and the spectrum that is forming there with permissioned and permissionless chains.Dan: In a switch from uplifting news to scary ones, Dan shares the news that Kalashnikov rolls out a weaponized suicide drone.

Robert Goddard and the liquid fueled rocket

1926 – Robert Goddard became the first man to launch liquid-fueled rocket. The liquid oxygen and gasoline mixture launched the 10 foot rocket, travelling at 60 MPH, to an altitude of 41 feet.

The rocket was dubbed “Nell” and was launched in the cold climate in Auburn Massachusetts.

The New York Times picked up on Goddard’s experiment, but wasn’t kind to him. They denounced his work, ultimately swaying public opinion.

An unwavered Goddard put together a team and in 1930 continued his research. He made some great strides until 1945 when he passed away.

His work and 214 patents gave way for scientists to continue the research and eventually send astronauts to the moon. On July 1969, The New York Times retracted the 1926 article, giving him proper credit as the father of modern rocketry.

Too bad he didn’t get to see it…

If you need a good eye massage and also want to look like Cyclops from the X-Men, Aurai has just thing for you. The funny thing is that when you turn this device on the light in the front slit makes it look even more sci-fi. It’s a water-based eye unit that uses distilled water and you can choose to set it to make the water cold to warm as it does its thing.

Instead of making you a mutant superhero that shoots lasers from their eyes, this device is all about relaxation. Imagine sitting back in your chair and letting this thing give you a nice relaxing eye massage. That would feel pretty good right about now, wouldn’t it? It sure would.

The idea is that this device moves the water around and the motion massages the eyes for about six minutes at a time. It runs on a battery which will give you about 9-12 messages before needing a charge. It takes about an hour and a half to charge up again, which is not bad at all for how good it will feel to get a massage or six with this thing.

It takes about 30 seconds to warm up once you hit the warm up button. It will cost you $239 and it is available right now if you want to experience a relaxing eye massage for yourself. In fact, you can buy Aurai on Amazon (http://go.redirectingat.com/?id=20383X779049&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Famzn.to%2F2TF2TLm&sref=rss). When it arrives those eyes will be relaxed for sure. Check out more on the Aurai website (http://go.redirectingat.com/?id=20383X779049&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fi-aurai.com%2F&sref=rss).

Facebook had the biggest outage of its history and no one seemed to care. In my opinion, everyone’s mental health probably improved during the outage. More worrisome is the new cell phone location data proposal of the FCC that will pinpoint your location to within 3 feet in buildings and everything that does not come with any additional privacy rights. I talk about my household shipping concerns and what I have been up to in investigating the shipment of my gear and personal effects out of Hawaii.
