In response to the latest natural disasters affecting us, Google has launched Project Loon, providing much needed emergency wifi communications in Hurrican ravaged Puerto Rico and UCSD has deployed WiFire to more accurately predict the course and scope of the masive wind-whipped fires of California’s wine country. 

 

We speak with Lars Ling and fellow Scandanavians during Nordic Impact Week in the Bay area, who were Facebooking us Live while they were on the air with Dr. Mrs. Future! It’s amazing what project the Nordics are making real in social media, augmented reality, communications and clean tech. Their high energy and love for what they are doing comes clearly through our interview.

Millenial digital entrepreneur and nomad Shannon Leonard drops into our studios for the last part of the show, sharing with his the ins and outs of his mobile lifestyle.  Trained as a film and video editor in Hollywood, he takes his skills on the road, visiting friends, family and interesting locations world wide, while making social media and other forms self-expression.  Is this the future of lifestyle?  Many think so, and with Shannon you get a taste of this way of living.  Enjoy!

Yes, it is quite interesting that super conservative Canadian ex-Defence Minister Paul Hellyer would speak out on UFO disclosure at this time in history..however, it doesn’t appear anything will be coming out of our government on this matter anythime soon, despite Hellyer’s plea for authorities to spill the beans…It is interesting to hear what he has to say, nonetheless, as he takes us down the rabbit hole of aliens, illuminati, elites, power and coverups, in his 20 minute talk.

And as Google Glass begins its journey onto the heads of everyone, it is starting to run into a little resistance.  Some people (and places), it appears, still get upset about being recorded without their explicit permission. Privacy issues are once again being discussed as Glass renders the Zoie chip in the scifi film Final Cut, a reality.  Yet, it is inevitable that resistance is futile.  Why?  Dr. Future expounds a bit on this on the show..

If you have any desire to save the world and/or make it a better place to live, you’ll enjoy listening to our in studio guest this week, Lars Ling.  A Swede on a mission, he founded Clean Tech Region Magazine to connect and inform a growing cadre of humans interested in eco friendly “Clean Tech. ”  He is traveling through the USA right now, speaking and connecting with companies, academics, and individuals about this rising global phenomenon with its start in Sweden, a place that embraces this nature-based technology evolution.

Interestingly, Lar’s magazine was recently bought by International Data Group, a consortium of publication, events, and technology that gave me my first start in high tech writing at Infoworld.. a tip of the hat to Pat McGovern, who started all this and gave me a break in the early days  :-)

Next week we’ll be recording our show from Vienna, Austria at the FutureWeek Salon, with some future leaning Austrians!
