#hcfla Brain-Hacking - Tracy Ingram @tracyingram @intentiontech

Interesting final session from Tracy Ingham. Brain Hacking.

Brain Wave States: Beta, Alpha, Theta, Delta.

Beta - Awake
Alpha - Relaxed
Theta, Deep relaxation
Delta - Deep Sleep.

The brain doesn't handle binaural auditory input well. It makes up the gaps to create balance.

Can we use sound to change state - hence change their mood.

The Monroe Institute's Hemi-Sync is the most popular example of this.

Time Machine is driving me nuts but Microsoft Live Meeting Web Access is a cross-platform joke!

I have successfully completed an upgrade to my laptop and mac mini. They are both running Mac OS X Lion.  On the whole the transition has been relatively easy.

My Macbook Pro is an early 2008 model and as such the WiFi does not support AirDrop - the new file sharing protocol. There are a few gotchas in the transition. Java is not installed by default so some web applications need to download the Java for OS Lion update and install it. One thing with my Mini, which has two Firewire drives attached to it. I can't get it to reboot. When you try to restart you get to the white screen with a spinning timer that lasts forever (okay - at least 20 minutes before I gave up and powered off and restarted). I still need to get to the bottom of that. My Laptop doesn't have that problem.

I have had problems with Microsoft Live Meeting Web Access but I am not sure that this is OS X Lion specific. Live Meeting was a dog on earlier versions of OS X. Today it took 45 minutes to fail to load Live Meeting Web Access for a 30 minute meeting. I tried switching from my laptop to the mini. I had to load Java on there and then restart Safari. This actually worked but when the Live Meeting console finally loaded it still failed to connect to the meeting. All I could see was three spinning timers. So LiveMeeting is a total Cross Platform FAIL - A joke when compared to WebEx or GoTo Meeting or Glance or just about any other web conferencing service.

But the big frustration is a continuing problem with Time Machine. I have an Airport Extreme that has a couple of disks connected to it. I have named these TimeMachine01 and TimeMachine02. I want to use these drives to backup from the mini and my laptop using TimeMachine. You would think this would be easy - but it is not. So rest of this post (and probably subsequent posts) will document the trials and tribulations in getting this to work.

The first challenge I faced was when going in to System Preferences…Time Machine. I click on Select Disk and despite the drives being up and working on my Airport Extreme they are not visible to choose from in Time Machine. So…

I switch to Finder and navigate to the relevant drives on the Extreme and double click on drive TimeMachine02. So now TimeMachine02 is listed in the sidebar in Finder. So…

I switch back to the Time Machine Preference Pane and choose Select Disk. This time the drive is in the list. I select it. I get prompted for the userid and password to access the drive. and the disk is setup. However, when Time Machine starts to backup it never finds the disk. What could be happening? I decided to open up Terminal to dig under the covers.

A quick look at the /Volumes folder and I can see the drives attached to the machine. I have a TimeMachine02-1 folder in /Volumes but no TimeMachine02 folder. Interesting…

So I think what is happening is that Finder creates the TimeMachine02 volume in /Volumes. This allows me to use the Time Machine Preference Pane to select the Disk for Backup, but the process of setting up the Time Machine Preferences (you are asked for a userid and password for the drive in question) seems to create a second connection to the same volume TimeMachine02-1.

It seems that Finder, the Time Machine Preferences Pane and the Time Machine backup are not quite in sync. I don't have a solution yet. I have tried removing the Time machine Preference File from /Library/Preferences. That hasn't helped.

I will just have to do some more experiments and see if I can identify a process for setup of Time Machine that works.  

Watch out for future posts. In the meantime if anyone else has seen these problems and solved them, please leave a comment and point me to a solution. This is not an OS X Lion issue. I have had this happen before on Snow Leopard. It seems to be triggered if you have an unexpected power off. It seems to leave volumes hanging around in the /Volumes folder and when Time Machine runs again it has to create a new volume mount, which it does by adding a dash-number to the volume name. Hence TimeMachine02 becomes TimeMachine02-1 or even TimeMachine02-2.

There ought to be a simple way to remove these phantom mount points but even using Sudo rm -rf /Volumes/Volumename fails. The nonexistent volume tends to give a connection refused error. Sometimes the only solution is to mount the network drive on your Mac locally and run Disk Utility and change the name of the drive. Return it to the Airport Extreme and setup backups from scratch.

More to follow on this subject…..

#GEGameChanger Summit - I wish I could go. Cool stuff coming from @GE

Tomorrow I was supposed to be attending the GE Game Changers Summit in New York but instead I have to talk Mobile Health with a couple of Health Care Organizations.  I will really miss not being in NYC for what looks like an amazing event that brings together Innovation, Health and Gaming. I hope I can catch some of it at Ustream tomorrow: http://www.ustream.tv/GE

I was also reading an article about monitoring Seniors and their social isolation. Check out this article from Information Week.

The issue of Aging in place is a growing issue for seniors as we see more baby boomers retire. I think there  will be a growing demand for sensor solutions that will enable remote monitoring of seniors that consequently will allow them to stay at home and independent.

As we push social elements in to all aspects of our lives I think there is an opportunity to bridge the generational divide with this remote monitoring technology. I would like to see The Green Button concept (in the Rainbow Button initiative used to allow health sensor data to be streamed an anonymously and used as data inputs to games. Imagine if the grandkids had a sensor stream from their Grandparents feeding activity in the games on their iPad, iPod or game console. It would create a bridge for those generations to communicate regularly and break down the reluctance that might be felt by seniors that their kids were snooping on them.

Just a thought…….

#MoDevDC everyone is getting sued - Now what?

I am here @Teqcorner. The third Wednesday o the month is a business focus First Wednesday is a technical focus.
This session is about the current legal and patent Landscape in mobile development.
This is a practical View of the situation.
Why do you need to care?
Issue 1 - bad patents
Issue 2 - patent assertion is lucrative $10B litigation costs 2005-10.
Issue 3 - asserting patents v write software
Issue 4 - smaller developers being targeted
Issue 5 - nobody is safe
Issue 6 - nobody is safe anywhere or of any size
Issue 7 - no penalty for a failed assertion
Issue 8 - it is cheaper to attack than defend
Issue 9 - USPTO low standards of quality for patents
Issue 10 - high concentration of startups makes for great targets. USA is the worst market foe this App developers should organize to defend themselves. Organize to get commitments from platform makers.

The views of a developer....

What to do:
1. Day 1 - Panic. But don't do anything major for 4 days.
2. Day 5. Look for support. Lawyers , others in same situation, research.
3. Day 10. Evaluate options. Fight v settle. 4. Day 15. Act. Plan, set goals and execute. Get back to work!
Patent infringement law suit 101
Examples applicable to a mid market law firm.
Assess exposure Initial defenses $15-50k
Counterclaims?
Settlement discussions $15-30k
Litigate....
File an answer $10-25k
Motion to dismiss/transfer $15-20k
Scheduling/pre trial $15-20k
Fact and expert discovery $800k-$1M
- interrogatories
- document requests
- discovery disputes
- dispositions
- experts
Claim construction/markman $200-250k
Mediation/settlement $25-50k
Summary judgement $150-200k
Prepare for trial $250-300k
Trial $600-700k
Total $2.0-2.5M
Check for prior art to invalidate patent or identify non-infringement.
Do We need a kickstarter platform for legal defense.
Patent Troll AKA non practicing entity.
About 90-95% cases settle before trial.
iOS and android have productized development. So what can be done together?
Article 1 partners has created an online community to improve patent quality.
NPE have been growing exponentially.
Patents have to be valid, novel, obvious and of patentable subject matter.
Litigation costs are rising. Average is $3G per litigation.
Large companies receive over 100 infringement notices per year. This is trickling down to smaller entities.
What to do: - monitor issued patents
- collect prior art
- pool prior art
Q & A discussion
An LLC, properly operated, can protect personal assets.
Defense has a big drain on your time which has a significant cost. NPEs may still seek licensees because it builds credibility when facing bigger companies.
If app developers band together they should make sure that they are able to share settlement details with members of their group. Transparency and sunlight is the best Protection.
Ip.com will time stamp and make public your prior art Best advice for developers: act like a company. Don't register as an individual in the app store. Put your products in to a company.
That's a wrap..... All in all a fascinating discussion.

@FDAapps FDA takes position on #mHealth Apps...

@FDAapps FDA takes position on #mHealth Apps. It has been a busy day on the Web for the Feds. A BlueButton Challenge has been laid down to get the #BlueButton on 25,000 Physician web sites. I applaud that move, even if it is causing some debate check out http://challenge.gov/VAi2/198-blue-button-for-all-americans . On the same day the FDA has published information about what it intends to regulate in the world of mHealth Apps. See the info here: http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm263332.htm The interesting part is that the FDA is proposing to oversee mobile medical apps that: - Are used as an accessory to an FDA-regulated medical device. For example, an app could enable a health care professional to view medical images on an iPad and make a diagnosis; - Transform a mobile platform into a regulated medical device. For example, an app that turns a smartphone into an electrocardiography, or ECG, machine to detect abnormal heart rhythms or determine if a patient is experiencing a heart attack. I think this means that if you connect your FDA-Approved Glucose meter to a mHealth app on a smartphone then the mHealth App will need FDA Approval.

#QS HealthCamp and the Quantified Self Community. Leverage #RainbowButton to leverage network effects

#QS and HealthCa.mp: Last night I attended the Washington DC meetup for Quantified Self. There were plenty of interesting topics. Much of the session provided feedback on the recent San Francisco Quantified Self event. I was able to U-Stream and record the event. The lighting was not great but I think the audio came through.

The thrust of my talk was to open people up to the potential of matching Quantified Self data with the Rainbow Button Initiative to take advantage of the network effects of shared data to create a Quantified Community. I want people to ask their Health Care Providers and Payers for a BlueButton so they can download their health data. I want to see Quantified Self Applications implement the Green and White Buttons to allow people to donate their data to a good cause (the green button) or send their data in detail to whoever they choose (The white button) which could be another person, a health care provider or another App. The technolgy to do this is base don the Direct Project. The Direct Project has laudable objectives. In simple terms for the developers reading this. The Direct Project seeks to deprecate the fax machine in Health Care.  

I was also asked to present at the meeting. I had already posted my deck to SlideShare (  ), which was a good thing because the Mac being used to present from only had version 3.0 of Keynote and so it choked, even when saving the deck as iWork'08. 

Since people on GooglePlus had asked if I was going to post my talk We recorded my session separately, since it came after about 90 minutes of other presentations. Yes, I was there to wake everyone up so they could go home! :)

Here is my talk from Ustream:http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/16096324
Here are the other Talks: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/16094415 

Once again, apologies for the poor quality of the video but hopefully the audio comes across ok.

#RainbowButton and Quantified Self (#QS ) - The Building Blocks of Quantified Community (#QUs ) at HealthCa.mp #hcsfbay

I have been asked to present at the Monday Evening Quantified Self Meetup in Washington DC. 

This should be interesting. I am very interested in the developments going on in the QuantifiedSelf movement (#QS). However, while I wear a Fitbit and capture some of my physiological data on a regular basis, I don't class myself as a committed #QS person. What I am very interested in is how the experimentation in the #QS community can be unleashed in the wider community to improve Health and Wellness.  

for my five minute presentation I am going to bring together some streams to encourage the #QS community to create the Quantified Community. I think this should have a Hashtag of #QUs. What do you think?

As part of this talk I want to discuss the Rainbow Button Initiative (#RainbowButton) which builds on the great work being done at the Veterans Administration with the Blue Button. The Rainbow Buttons are:

Blue Button - Download my Health Data to my computer using a standard format

Green Button - Allow me to donate my health data anonymously to another organization 

White Button - Allow me to send/upload my detailed Health Data to another Provider (or copy me when my data is sent between providers)

Red Button - Lock elements of my Health Record I do not want to be shared.

In preparing for my presentation I needed a graphic so I have drafted the additional Green, White and Red buttons. Here they are alongside the VA's Blue Button.

Do you think these represent their functions accurately?

Anyway, I need to settle down and pull these threads together...

- Quantified Self

- Rainbow Button Initiative

- Quantified Community

- HealthCamp

There is definite synergy between HealthCamp and Quantified Self. At the upcoming HealthCampSFBay on 9.23.11 we will be having a Quantified Self track and a Food and Nutrition track. Indeed, we are even planning to have some cooking demonstrations. 

In fact I would go so far as to issue an open invitation to the Quantified Self community to come to any HealthCamp event (the calendar is here) and join in. There is a lot to be learned from each other.

Posting From #GooglePlus to your Other Social Media channels is possible - thanks to @Posterous

After some experimentation I have successfully got a Stream Entry in GooglePlus to be published to Twitter, Facebook and Blogger. The secret to achieving this is Posterous, although I expect that Tumblr could do the same. You can use almost any service that can accept an email as input.

Here is the process to setup email distribution.

Setup Posterous

The first step is to setup your account on Posterous. my site on posterous is http://ekivemark.posterous.com. Configure all of the services you want to automatically post to. For me that is:

• Twitter
• Facebook
• My Main Blog on Blogger - http://ekive.blogspot.com
• LinkedIn
• Identica
• FriendFeed
• Flickr
• YouTube
• Delicious

Run a test post to make sure this is working. If everything is okay the next step is to integrate GooglePlus. The secret is that services like Posterous need you to identify the email addresses that are allowed to publish posts. i.e. A contributor/administrator rather than a subscriber. We need to setup the GooglePlus email as a Contributor.

Get your GooglePlus Email Address

When you publish a stream entry to someone without a GooglePlus Account they receive an email with an address like this:

"Mark Scrimshire (Google+)"<noreply-xxxxxxxx@plus.google.com>

To get the address create or forward a stream item to a non-gmail email account I.e.. NOT the account you use to sign in to GooglePlus.

Get the email address from the relevant inbox.

Add GooglePlus as a Contributor in Posterous

Go back to Posterous and the Blog Management Page.. Go to the People Tab and click on the "+ Add People" button and enter your GooglePlus email address. Add them as a Contributor. Unfortunately Posterous only gives you options to receive an instant email or a daily digest of posts. Select the daily email option.

 

If you are using another service this step will only work if that service does NOT require a validation step. The GooglePlus email address is a no reply mailbox so you will never receive a validation email.

Setting up GooglePlus

Now that you have Posterous configured to receive posts from GooglePlus you will want to add Posterous as an email contact in to one or more of your circles. I created a "Broadcast in SocMed" circle that I can add email addresses to. 

Posting to Posterous

There is one step to remember when you want to post to Posterous from GooglePlus. When you select the Circle to share with you have to click on the circle name and click the "Notify about this post" check box.

Now share the stream entry.

Tailoring GooglePlus for Social Media Posting 

If you have configured Posterous to AutoPost to Twitter then you will want to think carefully about the first line of your Stream contribution. GooglePlus takes part of the first line and repeats it in the subject line of the email. So a stream entry that begins like this:

"This is another test to integrate GooglePlus with other Social Media Channels. Including a link to my last GooglePlus Post"

becomes a subject line of:

"This is another test to integrate GooglePlus..."

This gives you about 44 characters that will get propagated as the title of your Posterous Blog post and as your post in to Twitter etc.

Think carefully about the start of your stream entry. If you include hashtags, such as #GooglePlus then these should appear in your tweets posted via Posterous.

In Conclusion

This is not ideal. It is a one way channel. I am really waiting for TweetDeck and Posterous to be able to use a GooglePlus API to allow me to post from their platforms in to GooglePlus. I also can't wait for TweetDeck to add GooglePlus as a stream in to TweetDeck. However, I am not going to hold my breath on that one. I suspect that would require Twitter to get their hands on the firehose from GooglePlus. Given that the two companies have let their Twitter to Google Firehose deal lapse I have my doubts that TweetDeck's new owners will want the GooglePlus streams as a feed.

More delving in to #GooglePlus sharing in Social Media

I have been performing more experiments to see how a GooglePlus item can be distributed to other Social Media channels. To do this I have concentrated on using email. 

Emails coming from GooglePlus have a format of:

"Your Name (Google+)" <noreply-{alphanumeric string}@plus.google.com

The alphanumeric string seems to be the same for all emails sent by a GooglePlus member. 

My next step has been to go to posterous and add the GooglePlus email address that has been assigned to me to my Posterous account as a contributor.

Let's see if Posterous can receive the email and post it.
