It’s in the shoes . . .

267859636976.jpegA growing number of companies are developing Global Positioning System technology to track friends and family, using devices like watches and cellphones. But Miami entrepreneur Sayo Isaac Daniel says those systems are flawed.

You can forget to carry your phone, and you can forget to wear a watch, but you can’t leave the house and forget to put on your shoes.

Daniel has developed shoes embedded with GPS technology that can locate the wearer anywhere in the world. His design allows wearers to press a button hidden near the shoe’s lace to send a distress signal.

In case you ever wanted to learn how to read music

09171bg.gifA lot of people think music is difficult to read–but it’s not. It’s actually the simplest written language there is. And once you get the basics down, the rewards will last a lifetime.

Whether it’s classical, rock, hip hop, techno, reggae, ambient, country, folk, jazz or anything else, music is written and recognized in the same way throughout most of the world.

Learning how to read music is a significant step toward eventually being able to play, sing or even write any song you want. And while this 2torial won’t turn you into the next Duke Ellington overnight, it will provide the skills you need for a basic read.
