Cool Technology of the Week
Last week I joined several industry experts to discuss the future of Big Data, Analytics, and Healthcare IT in general with a moderator from Intel.
Here's a preview clip on You Tube.

What else is cool this week?
.
As many of my readers know, I cycle between meetings on a foldable bike.
The only challenge is that it's pricy and prone to theft.
What if you could buy an ecofriendly "disposable" bicycle for under $10?
Sound impossible?
This cardboard bicycle is an engineering miracle. Now that functional prototypes have demonstrated the possibilities, I look forward to seeing such low cost, recyclable, and robust vehicles on the road. At $10, it's unlikely they'll be stolen. Maybe cities could make racks of them available for generalized use at no charge?
That's cool!
The bike is awesome, and I love the video (saw it a while back now). It frustrates me a little though - Izhar talked about it being so cheap but if you factor in his time, it is not that cheap. But to progress to manufacture at a cost of $10 - wow.
