Auschwitz II-Birkenau

We need to remember so that we may not do it again.

We visited Auschwitz which is located about 50 miles (80km) from Krakow. Although, it is one of the most visited places in Poland, I would not call it a sight seeing spot. But I am glad that I had chance to visit.

I will post pictures of Auschwitz and Auschwitz II-Birkenau next week as it might be too graphic to some. Have a good weekend!

ARBEIT MACHT FREI

"Arbeit macht frei" is a German phrase meaning "work makes (you) free." The slogan was placed over the entrances to a number of Nazi concentration camps during World War II, including Auschwitz I, where it was made by prisoners with metalwork skills and erected by order of the Nazis in June 1940.

Free WiFi at Chambers Bay

There are Free WiFi spots at Chambers Bay … That is very impressive. I have never seen a temporary high-speed Internet connection at events like this in Japan. As a matter of fact, there aren't that many Free WiFi spots in Japan.

Ashiya, Japan

Bellevue, Washington

Here is the current temperatures in Japan and Seattle. It is 9:00pm in Japan and 5:00am here in Seattle. The differences are not only the temperatures, the humidities are so different. Japan is like tropic islands during the summer.

What Thing ???

Internet of Things (IoT)

Here are the new buzzwords for high-tech industry for you. It is “Internet of Things” and by the first look, you might just say what the heck are they?

I thought the same way so I did some research. Here is what I think what IoT is. There are things that are inherently Internet ready such as your computer, TV Set Top Box, Tablet and Smartphones. And there are by design not Internet ready such as your couch, refrigerator, bicycle, car, bed, coffee maker, windows, doors, air conditioning, shower and so on. At this point, just about everything is not Internet ready. We call them “Things”.

What if we made them connected to Internet?

Imagine your bathroom is connected to Internet, people will know what time you take shower or if you take shower … no, just kidding. What if the bathroom knows you are running out of toilet paper and it order TP before you run out of it? How about your office drawer knowing when you are running out of supplies and order them for you?

IoT … by having “Things” connected to Internet; “Things” will be much smarter and help your daily life. To accomplish this, Things must understand the environment they are in, by site, smell, sound, weight, temperature and so on. Yes, Things must have sensors and communication devices. They require more IP Addresses than what we have now. Thus, we will be using IP V6.

Well, I hope now you have some idea what IoT is.
