MS Office products debut in VR, eh?
A few days ago Meta, or more specifically, Oculus, released their new product of cool VR headset. The stuff itself is so expensive like hell, so the practical point is not the new product itself but rather how lower we can now get the older Quest stuff. First they’ve gotta spread their toys. At home
【event】Research Carnival 2022@UM FoM on entrepreneurship & VR/AR
I attended some sessions of Research Carnival 2022 held at UM Faculty of Medicine’s 3rd floor Auditorium. It’s about advanced tech, research, innovation, and entrepreneurship. There were speakers who are Dr.s as well as entrepreneurs who shared their experiences about taking risk to be in fulfillment. One of the interesting topics was of course, the
Keep growing with your own experience
A good article. Most of our “learning” occurs when we “experience.” Much more so than what we read or listen to lectures. However, to actually “learn” from what we experience is rather difficult. As the article puts it, “most of us are not good at “wringing meaning.” We often don’t learn from experiences because we’re
Google Pixel Watch in Japan w/ good Suica power
Google is smart as we thought. To dive into Japanese e-wallet market, getting along with Suica, the e-wallet giant in japan, which is operated by Japan Railway East, is a must. If you have a good Suica-compatibility on your mobile device, you have much bigger chance to carry it around, thus you’ll automatically use it

SingHealth and Duke-NUS delegate from Singapore came over to Faculty of Medicine at Universiti Malaya today. It was a full-day meeting where we presented what we’ve been doing in areas of digital health, medical humanities, and epidemiology.

【salon】第29回「仏教と科学のサロン」テーマは「刹那滅」でした
「刹那滅」来ましたね！これまでのサロンでもちらちらと登場したコンセプトですが、テーマにしたのは初めてかも知れませんね。 この言葉を聞くと、私などはすぐにヴァスバンドゥ（世親）の唯識での扱い→ チャンドラキールティー（月称）の常住論批判での活用、（そしてチベット密教への展開）という、2人の天才仏教哲学者の思索を思い出して、脳みそが沸騰しそうになりますが…。今回、浄土真宗文脈の中でこれを出すというご門主のかじ取りに大いに期待いたします！むろん、浄土教の文脈では「天親菩薩」として重要視されるヴァスバンドゥ老師ですので、彼の唯識をおさえつつも、21世紀に生きる我々にどうマインドフルな福音となるのか、楽しい対談ができればと思っております！（と、ハードルを上げて置く。）
