Riding your bicycle Just got more interesting

Now you can see better and look better like never before.

Revolights uses rim-mounted lights which can be installed by clipping a tube of LED lights onto the inside of any bike wheel and connecting them to a small, USB-rechargeable battery mounted on the hub. Yet as the bike moves forward, the lights begin to concentrate towards the front and back of the bike wheels in white (front) and red (rear). This creates a "headlight" which is bright enough to be used by the rider to navigate the street ahead, and a "taillight" that also acts as a bright indicator to any oncoming cars.

Star Wars Becomes a Reality in Japan

To start , Somebody has been watching Star Wars way too much.

All Terrain Scout Transports (AT-ST) were featured extensively in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Japanese engineers (at a company called Sakakibara Kikai) are building real AT-ST two-legged walkers. They call their invention the Land Walker.

The Land Walker is a one-man two-legged walker transport. It's 3.40 meters (11 feet) in height. Its two air cannons fire rubber balls. They retail for 37.8 million yen (around half a million USD).

No word if they have any plans to build full sized All Terrain Armored Transport (AT-AT) Walkers.

That’s impossible !

It’s only impossible if you never do anything about it. The reason certain things seem impossible is simply because nobody has achieved them yet. But this doesn’t mean that with your help these things won’t become possible in the future. If you truly dedicate yourself to an end result, almost anything is possible. You just have to want it bad enough.

The Past

We all make mistakes. Sometimes they are very bad and cause ourselves and others much worry and suffering. We can be depressed and burdened with regret for many years, never forgiving ourselves, never forgetting our actions. Carrying on in this way is another big mistake, disturbing our lives in very unpleasant and painful ways.

It is not necessary. Worrying about something that has already happened is a complete waste of time if you just keep wishing that it hadn't happened. There is absolutely nothing you can do to change it.

"We ought not to look back unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors, and for the purpose of profiting by dear-brought experience." - George Washington (1732-1779)

Perhaps there is some way to make amends and that should still be a consideration. If not then regard it as a learning experience. Review what has happened enough to draw conclusions about what to do, and what not do, in the future. But then forget the stupid or bad thing you did and start thinking about something else.

Negative thoughts about the past will keep coming back again and again unless there are other thoughts occupying your mind. Begin feeding your brain with encouraging and fun ideas especially when that 'thing' from the past returns. Be generous, kind and forgiving to others and yourself.

"When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us." - Alexander Graham Bell

You no longer have yesterday; you only have today and tomorrows.

There's A Battle Of Two Wolves Inside Us All

An old man told his grandson: "My son, there's a battle between two wolves inside us all. 

One is Evil. It's anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, inferiority, lies and ego. 

The other is Good. It's joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness and truth." 

The boy thought about it and asked: "Grandfather, which wolf wins?". 

The old man quietly replied: "The one you feed."

Exception Paradox

I've been wondering about this for a while. And this is my conclusion.

If there is an exception to every rule, then every rule must have at least one exception; the exception to this one being that it has no exception." "There's always an exception to the rule, except to the exception of the rule—which is, in of itself, an accepted exception of the rule."
