Logical homes - inspired by a favourite FOUNTAINHEAD quote

“Because the beauty of the human body is that it hasn’t a single muscle which doesn’t serve its purpose; that there’s not a line wasted; that every detail of it fits one idea, the idea of a man and the life of a man. Will you tell me why, when it comes to a building, you don’t want it to look as if it had any sense or purpose, you want to choke it with trimmings, you want to sacrifice its purpose to its envelope – not knowing why you even want that envelope?”

Once I generate enough money I'm gonna build a logical and useful home where every inch serves its purpose and there is no wasted space.Sure aesthetics are important but it does not surpass functionality.!!!
Some really cool home ideas below:

when im so lazy to get up..Ill simply roll down 

Got the stairs but where do i get these many books from!!


C'mon that's all the dog really needs anyway!!



A lazy man's paradise..Vacuum chambers to suck the waste..

To Ponder...

Be prepared to be amazed...

"Ask the universe for anything and it will give it to you..don't let fear consume you."
"Your need for acceptance can make you invisible to this world."
"You can fail at doing what you don't want to do..So you might as well take a chance doing what you love.."

What is MOORE's Law??

Moore's law is the observation that, over the history of computing hardware, the number of transistors on integrated circuits(ICs) doubles approximately every two years. (More like more(s) law ryt!?..OK.. excuse the pun.)

The law is named after Gordon E. Moore, co-founder of Intel Corporation, who described the trend in his 1965 paper.; the simplified version of this law states that processor speeds, or overall processing power for computers will double every two years. 

A quick check among technicians in different computer companies shows that the term is not very popular but the rule is still accepted.!!!

To break down the law even further, it specifically stated that the number of transistors on an affordable CPU would double every two years (which is essentially the same thing that was stated before) but ‘more transistors’ is more accurate.

If you were to look at processor speeds from the 1970’s to 2009 and then again in 2010, you can probably guess that the law has reached its limit.



ECHOLOCATION

Using Neural Networks & Neural re-wiring to help the visually challenged to see

Brain experiments
While trying to figure out the origins of NN algorithms I came across something very interesting on the Coursera Machine learning class by the amazing ANDREW Ng.

So apparently Neural scientists cut the "wire" from the ear to the auditory cortex and rerouted the the one from the eye (relax it's an animal's brain..maybe a cute puppies..hope you feel better now..:-p ).

The Auditory cortex basically LEARNS to see now.The animal is able to visually discriminate objects with that piece of brain tissue.Plugging almost any sensor to any part of the brain will make the brain adapt to it.

In echolocation the subject clicks his tongue or snaps his fingers to understand the surroundings around him.
(A true BAT-man indeed) 

If you want a dose of inspiration look at the video of this amazing kid with no eye balls but skates like pro.




I wonder why this not a reality yet.After I did some digging around I came across the video below.Daniel says that the national federation of the blind is too confined to its traditional approaches and deems this method a bit complex.Wish this becomes a reality soon.
