Okay, it’s the end of day 2 and having spent the last nine hours on my feet on the cold, hard concrete, well, you get the idea from my header. Today was mostly spent talking to people on our GE Healthcare demonstrations. Mobs of school kids were here and were equally as jazzed as yesterday. Although I’m fatigued, it’s still great to see the enthusiasm and sparks that occur when the kids “get it.”

I’ve had some time to walk around the floor and check out the technologies. Robots are a big theme here this year and the one that caught my attention was the hyper-realistic Japanese female robot. I was able to observe some of the demonstration, but enough to see how realistic some of her movements and expressions looked. It’s amazing how far they have taken this technology. One can only wonder when the porn industry starts investing some dollars.

On a more personal note, I was able to get an autograph from a real-life astronaut from the last space shuttle mission. Stephanie Wilson is a female, African American, astronaut who wrote a note to my adopted son Jackson, who also happens to be African-American, “Reach for the Stars!” It will be great for me to give that photo to Jackson when he is a bit older to help communicate the idea that he should strive to reach his dreams.

That’s it for me today. Peace.
