MyVu

I've been seeing adds for this product and I love the idea. Here is the review:

Myvu Corporation has introduced its new generation of personal media viewers with the new myvu shades and myvu crystal video eyewear. Both new viewers feature Kopin’s CyberDisplay technology, offering the highest pixel density and the sharpest resolution for its size, a rechargeable battery with up to 10 hours of viewing time for shades and up to four hours of viewing time for crystal, and earbuds from Ultimate Ears. In a partnership with INNO Design, renowned designer Young Kim worked on the myvu shades, giving them a unique glance-down sunglass-inspired design that allows viewers to keep aware of their surroundings, and provides a “broad and unobstructed field of view that enables new applications and uses that were not possible before.”

Myvu crystal offers VGA quality resolution, a 35% increase in the field of view over existing myvu models and a design that “retains the appearance of a delicate, elegant pair of high-end eyeglasses.” “We’re taking video-on-the-go from techno-geek to techno-chic, crossing age and gender barriers,” said Kip Kokinakis, president and CEO of Myvu Corporation

Casinos

casinos, blackjack, fun, games

Do you all have Casinos where you are? Well in California we have Indian Reservation Casinos that have popped up like pop corn in the last 10 years. They can be fun but they have sounded a death knell for many. People flock to them from all around and there are even bus tours for them. Geeze! Pawn shops have actually gone out of business with people pawning there valuables and never picking them back up. I saw an old couple get out of their Mercedes in front of a pawn shop with their portable TV to turn in. How sad is that.

As I wrote the above paragraphs I was sitting in a casino feeling sorry for myself. I could not get my partner to leave the place as he has the bug rather bad when he starts to play blackjack. *don’t get me started on what I think of that*

Now, I don’t judge people on what they are into or not; but I do wonder about the person who, once they start something, simply cannot stop. Feels more like an addiction than a game at that point. Don't get me wrong I love to play the slots once in a while myself, but they are not paying I'm not playing.
