I am helping people to realize that life could be much more than this meaningless competition for so-called &quot;success&quot; fueled by greed, pride and exhibitionist consumption.)<p>I am high altitude trekking instructor and cultural guide for Himalayan region (Tibet, Nepal, North India). I provide no-nonsense introduction to Buddhist and Hindu philosophy, ancient, &quot;primitive&quot; ritual-based religions, tribal culture and traditions.<p>I am helping ex-addicts, like myself, to <i>almost</i> undo the accumulated damage and to rebuild themselves from within, by educating them in Eastern tradition of self-knowledge (our nature without religious nonsense).<p>I am also advocating &quot;old-school&quot; understanding-based approach to programming, as opposed to copy-paste-based modern coding.

<a href="https://www.gangsofspace.com/en" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gangsofspace.com&#x2F;en</a><p>It&#x27;s an action-oriented shmup&#x2F;MMO which feels a bit like EVE Online on steroids.<p>It is cool because all the game industry AAA developers have been pouring dozens of millions of dollars to copy World of Warcraft for more than 10 years, and they kind of forget to innovate in the MMO field. Making something different and seeing players appreciate it is hugely rewarding!<p>Also, making a MMO as a sole developer is extremely gratifying as a technical challenge. Doing everything from the website, payment, 3d graphics, networking engine, procedural game content, distributed servers, reporting, data analytics, server monitoring, but also marketing, making video trailers, talking to the press, going to game conventions... well... it&#x27;s incredibly intense and overwhelming at times, but makes me feel very much... alive?

<a href="http://www.quantumbiosystems.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.quantumbiosystems.com</a> an IC that can read DNA without any complicated chemistry and on a device that costs dollars.<p>It&#x27;s cool not only because it could revolutionize medical research and diagnostics. But also because it gives the world a fundamental new class of sensor on which new applications will be developed for years to come.

Smarter NPC. Not an actual game yet, but i started out trying to create a generic AI system for NPC, because i really want to play games like that. So i decided to contribute to this dream by making an open-source AI module for NPC to help game developers create amazing games.<p>My idea is to make a Goal-based system. Each NPC would have a set of goals, and would weigh in available actions as to how closer it would take them to their goals. I decided to start of with something simple like &quot;maximize gold&quot; so the NPC would take actions that resulted in most gold increase. i figured if i did it right, the NPC would themsleves figure out paths in action-trees that would let them make more gold. for example, figuring out that making wooden stuff out of logs is more profitable than selling raw wood. Or that if you can afford it, hiring people to make the wooden stuff (like a business&#x2F;company) is more profitable overall than doing it yourself (cuz of multi-threading, opportunity cost, overall path weight, etc).<p>So it would be cool to see NPC picking out roles themselves, forming in-game societies and behavin in line with their goals. heck maybe someone can make a game that would involve using people&#x27;s goals to influence them

Developing a mobile phone app that can determine your blood pressure simply by placing your your fingertip on the phone&#x27;s camera.<p>Why is it cool? Currently 65 million Americans have high blood pressure, more than 380,000 die each year primarily due to high blood pressure, and it costs over 45 billion dollars in direct medical costs. Of even greater concern is that over 45% of those with hypertension do <i>not</i> have it under control. [1,2]<p>This app will provide instant and ubiquitous information about their blood pressure to everyday citizens without the need for (as many) visits to the doctor, or the purchasing of expensive medical equipment. It will empower the people to take greater control of their own health, and offers the potential to greatly reduce the burden on an already-overstretched healthcare system.<p>As it is based purely on the phone&#x27;s video camera, it will be the first time people can use their mobile phone to measure their blood pressure in the convenience of their own home, at a time that suits them, without the need for connecting your phone to additional proprietary specialist hardware.<p>[1] <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/bloodpressure/facts.htm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cdc.gov&#x2F;bloodpressure&#x2F;facts.htm</a><p>[2] <a href="https://www.heart.org/idc/groups/heart-public/@wcm/@sop/@smd/documents/downloadable/ucm_319587.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.heart.org&#x2F;idc&#x2F;groups&#x2F;heart-public&#x2F;@wcm&#x2F;@sop&#x2F;@smd...</a>

I&#x27;m working on a WP8 app for Kraken (the bitcoin exchange): <a href="http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=a3857353-599a-434f-8293-398745723de6" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.windowsphone.com&#x2F;s?appid=a3857353-599a-434f-8293-...</a>.<p>It&#x27;s fully functional. It shows live rates, your open &amp; closed orders, your balance and it has the ability to create and close orders.<p>I think it&#x27;s cool because Windows Phone is the first platform that has a Kraken app, and this app is arguably the best bitcoin app on the WP platform.

An iPhone app that motivates you to work harder.. Simply put you set goals and then.... I really can&#x27;t give the idea away, I&#x27;m working hard day and night and it will be released in the next 8 weeks.<p>This app motivates you to achieve your goals. There are 3 twists on my idea however which make it different to other apps. I will definitely be using it myself so hopefully other will feel it helps them to achieve their goals also :)

Brodlist (<a href="http://brodlist.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;brodlist.com</a>), because the web was never meant to be a bunch of read-only text files.<p>Our querying ability (no joins needed) and speed doesn&#x27;t just open up big data and semantic data, but possibly even allows the web to be reshaped as a collection of data rather than text.
