The eight-minute film takes place in the near future, where contact lens-like implants projects data in the field of vision. The film features an engineer using a sophisticated form of virtual retinal display with an application that allows him to gain full access to private information, which he uses on a blind date.

"An American soldier with a joey"
Photography Appreciation
I came across this photo of an American soldier with his pet kangaroo while surfing the Flickr's commons. The photo was taken at an Australian military base by John Earl McNeil in 1942.

Shakira - Dónde Estás Corazón
Music Appreciation
Growing up along the U.S. Mexico border in the 90s had its benefits. The radio dial was practically filled providing all types of music. While one radio station played Alanis Morissette or the Goo Goo Dolls, another played Maná or Shakira.
¿Dónde Estás Corazón? was originally released in a compilation CD but re-released by Sony in her breakthrough album Pies Descalzos, which was released in 1995.

Fiona Apple - Shadowboxer
Music Appreciation
The 19 year old from New York City released her debut album, Tidal, which contained several big singles including Criminal, Sleep to Dream, and Shadowboxer, on July 23, 1996.
Here's a story I've never told. I use to receive a music catalog where I would order CDs for one penny. The catch was that you had to order so many more CDs in future purchases for full price.
I remember ordering her CD, not because I had heard her songs, but because of the CD cover. Her gorgeous blue eyes captured my attention. I would listen to her album from Sleep to Dream to Carrion staring at her blue eyes.
