Last night a few of us went up to Toronto for higher level training in Taoist Tai Chi. A gentleman (Dave) from about 4 hours from Toronto was in the city for a few month and had been practicing Taoist Tai Chi for about 13 years. I'm not sure what his condition was but he was in Toronto because he said he had BOTH of his lungs removed... I asked him "Both??", and he said yeah, had them replaced w/ new ones 5 weeks ago. So I was a bit shocked to see someone standing next to me that just had BOTH lungs replaced 5 weeks ago and at a Tai Chi class.... He said his doctors were amazed at his fairly quick recovery as he had been doing some of the Taoist and Buddhist exercise…

Japanese Internet Satellite Hits 1.2Gbps "The tests were carried out on May 2 as part of verification of the Kizuna satellite. In the tests data was transmitted on two 622M-bps channels both up to the satellite and down to a receiving antenna. Together the combined data transmission speed was 1.2G bps. Tests carried out in March and April verified uplink communications at 1.5M bps and downlink at 155M bps using a compact 45-centimeter antenna and both up and downstream at 155M bps using a larger 1.2-meter dish. At the time JAXA said the 155M-bps downlink was the fastest in the world achieved with such a small-size antenna."

"Implementing a move that's been planned for months, Microsoft will no longer make Windows XP available to large computer makers, such as Dell, Lenovo, or Hewlett-Packard, or to software retailers, after June 30.

The press always needs to get you frazzled. When I was growing up in the 80's I remember there being lots of hype on Global Cooling and how the north east should have winter snows year round by now. I can not believe how easy it is for ppl to have a complete turn around just cause the press tells you what to believe. Cover of the June issue of Time Magizne 1974 with a picture of Global Cooling http://www.charlotteconservative.com/wp-co.../11/cooling.jpg The achive article from that issue, Monday, Jun. 24, 1974 http://www.junkscience.com/mar06/Time_Anot..._June241974.pdf "When meteorologists take an average of temperatures around the globe they find tha…

Google Goggles Help Curb Drunken E-mailing http://www.dailytech.com/Google+Goggles+He...rticle13148.htm "Sometimes I send messages I shouldn't send," Google Gmail engineer Jon Perlow said in a blog. “Like the time I told that girl I had a crush on her over text message. Or the time I sent that late night email to my ex-girlfriend that we should get back together. Gmail can't always prevent you from sending messages you might later regret, but today we're launching a new Labs feature I wrote called Mail Goggles which may help."

http://www.macworld.com/article/150837/201...floppydisk.html Sony, one of a handful of companies that still sells floppy disk media in Japan, will end sales of floppy disks by March 2011 due to dwindling demand. The Japanese domestic floppy disk market amounted to about 12 million disks last year, of which Sony had a 70 percent share, it said. A 10-pack of Sony 3.5-inch floppy disks costs ¥570 (US$6) at a central Tokyo electronics store.
