Kicking off a technology innovation oriented blog. Seek to comment on innovative technologies I find relevant.
Also, I hope to highlight ideas from any technology/entrepreneur and other related events I am able to attend.
Aiming to focus on (in no particular order):
-
biomedical research and products
-
mobile hardware I find relevant
-
mobile software I find relevant
-
advances in bioinformatics and genetics
-
pre-college and college education efforts
-
entrepreneur / founder stories
-
interesting start-up and business case stories
-
interesting product development / Kickstarter stories
-
general kick-ass advances in science....(more to be added soon)
Which reminds me -- today, April 12th, 2011, officially marks 50 years of manned spaceflight!
Google put up a cool animated logo:

Quite the occasion in human scientific and tech timeline! Read more here:

A side commentary on state of online media today:
CNN fails to mention anything about the event entirely -- whether it is in the technology or the science or the world sections.
Leave it to the respectable publications such as The Telegraph in the UK to remind folk about the occasion:

Otherwise, this is all we have to show for 50 years of human spaceflight:
