A new ABC “World News” poll finds that seventy-one percent of employed American adults they are somewhat to extremely interested in learning to how get a pay raise.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390294864076_3507" style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">So how do you ask your boss? It can be uncomfortable especially if you aren’t prepared and don’t have the right tools when you negotiate. So we asked a group of experts, including two stars of the ABC series “Shark Tank,” to share some of their advice so you’ll be confident when you’re in the hot seat.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390294864076_3517" style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">“You have to be careful with your words because the words make a difference,” says real estate mogul, Barbara Corcoran. “If you walk in and say ‘Hey, I want a raise,’ it's pretty abrupt. What you want to do instead is say, ‘I'd like to review my compensation, my job duties, and I'd like you to consider giving me a $5,000-$7,000 raise.’”</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390294864076_3527" style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Before you go into the meeting with your boss, put yourself in his or her shoes. Giving out a raise is a business decision and your boss will have to justify the expense.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390294864076_3537" style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">“The boss is all about numbers, says Daymond John, founder of FUBU. “Are you gonna increase sales or maybe also take on another position in the company to reduce cost? You always have to think about the numbers ‘cause the boss is thinking about the numbers.”</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">And don’t forget that negotiating a raise is a skill, and it’s important to practice when the stakes are low so you’ll be confident when you sit down with your boss. Practice by asking for discounts while you’re shopping, or negotiating the price when you have someone clean your carpets.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">“It’s almost like a muscle, because it's uncomfortable, that you need to build,” says LinkedIn career expert Nicole Williams. “I just want you to get comfortable talking about money.”</div></div></div>

It only works on your laptop, so if you watch Netflix on a tablet, a gaming console or a Roku, you can’t use it. Second, it only works on the Google Chrome browser: Internet Explorer and Firefox users are out of luck. And sometimes, the movies that Netflix Showdown chooses are complete duds. Netflix Showdown — which is in no way associated with Netflix — is not quite as smart as Netflix’s learning software, which Netflix used to create something similar to Netflix Showdown in <a data-rapid_p="69" data-ylk="elm:itm;elmt:link;g:734dcf62-69e3-3db5-bb85-ba427bcc1c7f;ct:1;t1:a5;t4:18;itc:0;" href="http://news.yahoo.com/netflix-max-221008517.html" style="color: #324fe1; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">one of the mini-games in its new Netflix Max app</a>. </div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;">Netflix Showdown, however, works a little bit faster than Netflix Max and also gives you some agency in setting up the titles you want to choose from.

By measuring your blinking rate, the duration of your blinks, and the ratio of the time your eyes are open and closed, the Vigo can detect when you’re starting to drift off. An accelerometer (tilt sensor) enhances that data with information about the nodding of your head.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;">If the Vigo decides that you’re getting sleeeeeeepy, it alerts you — by playing an alarm, playing a song from your phone and blinking a light at its tip.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;">The goal is to wake people who fall asleep while driving, of course, but there are many other categories of people who might benefit: security guards, narcoleptics, employees in boring meetings, students in class and so on.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;"><strong>Price: </strong>$80.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;"><strong>Goal: </strong>This <a data-rapid_p="48" data-ylk="elm:itm;elmt:link;g:c3f8533a-2868-3f06-af68-297bf40aca72;ct:1;t1:a5;t4:18;itc:0;" href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jasongui/meet-vigo-the-very-first-energy-gauge-for-you?ref=live" style="color: #324fe1; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Kickstarter project</a> seeks $50,000 in backing. With just under two weeks to go before its deadline, it’s raised $41,000, so it’s looking good.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;">(Fun fact: The Vigo began as a senior project at Penn by the current team. Originally, it was a pair of glasses, not a Bluetooth earpiece.)</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;"><img alt="image" height="348" src="http://l1.yimg.com/cd/resizer/FIT_TO_WIDTH-w500/80d051cb20b382095307c99498c30a6026dad663" style="border: 0px; margin-right: 20px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom;" width="500" /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;">(Another fun fact: The original name was Invigo. Then one of the team members Googled that name — and discovered that it was taken. By a “natural male sexual stimulant.” Oh, well.)</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;"><strong>Status: </strong>The creators — three recent Penn graduates — spent four months at a “hardware accelerator” program in Shenzhen, China, the electronics-manufacturing capital of the world. The Vigo hardware itself — now in prototypes whose bodies were created with a 3-D printer — is in its final shape and size.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;"><img alt="image" height="281" src="http://l.yimg.com/cd/resizer/FIT_TO_WIDTH-w500/3bf88062b6c747771f54fc7d9c55c8d446854784" style="border: 0px; margin-right: 20px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom;" width="500" /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;">But all the software isn’t cooked yet. The hard part is, at least: The device can transmit data to a mobile device, and using test software I could see a real-time graph of my blinking and head-tipping. It looked something like the spikes on a lie-detector graph, communicated wirelessly from the earpiece.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;">You’ll never see this software. What you will see is a slick phone app that isn’t quite ready. The team has finished designing the look of this app but hasn’t yet hooked it up to the blink-detecting/tip-detecting graphing module. In other words, the brains and the beauty have yet to meet.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;"><img alt="image" height="381" src="http://l1.yimg.com/cd/resizer/FIT_TO_WIDTH-w500/5d85e54c91f29843228f24f5cc0279ebc8f1583f" style="border: 0px; margin-right: 20px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom;" width="500" /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;"> <strong>What I tested: </strong>I met with inventor Jason Gui, who showed me all three of the latest prototypes. They’re delicate and still on the road to refinement, but they do work.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;">I wasn’t able to try the Vigo in actual real-world driving conditions, though. (Even if I’d been able to take one with me for a couple of weeks, I’m not sure how I’d have tested it on the road without risking my life!)</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;"><img alt="image" height="319" src="http://l3.yimg.com/cd/resizer/FIT_TO_WIDTH-w500/d165b29b836a8e0d9eddf7eb1c99610a877a3f97" style="border: 0px; margin-right: 20px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom;" width="500" /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;"><strong>What I learned: </strong>My first thought was that a drowsiness detector has a somewhat limited appeal. Who’d really spend $80 for a gadget — who’d really <em>wear </em>a gadget — just to detect sleepiness?</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;">In truth, though, the market exists. I’ve gotten sleepy behind the wheel. A certain unnamed member of my family has drifted off many times. According to <a data-rapid_p="49" data-ylk="elm:itm;elmt:link;g:c3f8533a-2868-3f06-af68-297bf40aca72;ct:1;t1:a5;t4:18;itc:0;" href="http://drowsydriving.org/" style="color: #324fe1; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">drowsydriving.org</a>, 60 percent of adult drivers say that they’ve driven while drowsy in the past year; 37 percent actually admit to having fallen asleep at the wheel. 11 million of them say they’ve crashed as a result.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;">Some people might be required to wear a Vigo-like device: truckers, cab drivers and train operators. Normal drivers, however, might not bother — if it weren’t for the fact that the Vigo is also a traditional Bluetooth earpiece that lets you make phone calls hands-free (I didn’t test that aspect of it). That feature improves the odds that drivers really will wear the thing whenever they drive.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;">Vigo’s core team of 23-year-olds isn’t the only group trying to solve the drowsy-driving problem. <a data-rapid_p="50" data-ylk="elm:itm;elmt:link;g:c3f8533a-2868-3f06-af68-297bf40aca72;ct:1;t1:a5;t4:18;itc:0;" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cSWQm_vNL4" style="color: #324fe1; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Volvo</a>, <a data-rapid_p="51" data-ylk="elm:itm;elmt:link;g:c3f8533a-2868-3f06-af68-297bf40aca72;ct:1;t1:a5;t4:18;itc:0;" href="http://www.lexus.com/models/HSh/features/safety/precollision_system_with_driver_attention_monitor.html" style="color: #324fe1; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Lexus</a> and <a data-rapid_p="52" data-ylk="elm:itm;elmt:link;g:c3f8533a-2868-3f06-af68-297bf40aca72;ct:1;t1:a5;t4:18;itc:0;" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weeM9FZlQig" style="color: #324fe1; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Mercedes</a> offer optional systems that use cameras, steering monitors and other technologies.

Worse, once you’re actually nodding, it’s too late: You’re already out of control of your car.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;">The Vigo’s promise is that its blink detection is far more accurate a predictor, and it can detect sleepiness far earlier than nodding detectors. (The only better system, Gui said, is EEG, which measures your brain waves in real time. Neither the car companies nor the Vigo team think, however, that drivers will be willing to wear a mesh cap full of EEG sensors each time they get into the car.)</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;"><img alt="image" height="308" src="http://l.yimg.com/cd/resizer/FIT_TO_WIDTH-w500/27d9d4487ee2e2f9431879b651b920d7ef03e3c2" style="border: 0px; margin-right: 20px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom;" width="500" /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;">The Vigo team has big plans for its technology. The guts fit on a tiny circuit board the size of your thumbnail, so it could be adapted to all kinds of things. Maybe Vigo could be built into glasses or available as a snap-on for existing glasses.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;">Someday, you might not need any hardware at all. Jason pointed out to me that there’s actually a tiny camera on the <em>inner </em>surface of Google Glass — pointing at your eye (circled below). Right now, all it does is permit you to take a photo by winking (as though Google Glass needs even more ways to make you seem creepy). But if there’s a camera pointed right at your eye, well, maybe someday Vigo’s software could be built right in.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;"><img alt="image" height="185" src="http://l3.yimg.com/cd/resizer/FIT_TO_WIDTH-w500/19e0a69795c135473c5608a2007614f26e98646a" style="border: 0px; margin-right: 20px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom;" width="500" /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;"><strong>The bottom line: </strong>I’m a believer in the team, the gadget and its cause.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;">I saw firsthand that the Vigo technology really works; I have no doubts that the final step — getting the detection software hooked up to the attractive phone app — will go well. (I’m not sure if it’s doable by summer, as the team hopes, though.)</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;">The Vigo earpiece is obviously just a start. But the technology is sound, the prototype works and $80 is a good price. The team already has a network of contacts in Shenzhen, China, who can help them get the thing manufactured, so the prospects are bright.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;">I say: Fund this.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;"><em>Yahoo Tech is a brand new tech site from David Pogue and an all-star team of writers. <a data-rapid_p="55" data-ylk="elm:itm;elmt:link;g:c3f8533a-2868-3f06-af68-297bf40aca72;ct:1;t1:a5;t4:18;itc:0;" href="http://www.facebook.com/yahootech" style="color: #324fe1; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Like us on Facebook</a> for all the latest.</em></div></div>

A Weekly Dose of Architecture, 1999 - 2014

It was 15 years ago this month that I started the website <a href="http://archidose.org/wp/">A Weekly Dose of Architecture</a>. On January 18, 1999, I posted a feature on Louis I. Kahn's <a _mce_href="http://www.archidose.org/Jan99/011899.htm" href="http://www.archidose.org/Jan99/011899.htm">Kimbell Art Museum</a> in Fort Worth, Texas, the first of many weekly "doses." Actually, if I would have strictly kept to the weekly calendar this website would have 780 projects and about 500 book reviews (those didn't start until 2003), but given my sometimes sporadic posting the actual number is a bit less but still sizable considering it's just been me the whole time. So with the website turning 15 years old, it seems like a good time to retire the site. This may sound like the end of something, yet I'll still be posting at A Daily Dose of Architecture, including the occasional project and book review.<br /><br />So why retire the weekly doses? Well:<br /><ul><li>Websites like ArchDaily cover projects at such a great (visual) depth and quantity to make this website superfluous, especially if I don't take the effort to write the commentary;</li><li>Even though the website started as a way to write about the "ideas embedded in architectural works," over the years I have come to believe strongly that place and experience are so integral to architecture that writing about a building without visiting it is a disservice;</li><li>The weekly schedule (posts typically went online on Mondays) conflicted with other deadlines, such that the weekly doses were becoming even more last-minute than usual;</li><li>I already have a daily blog where I can (and do) post projects and book reviews, so why maintain more than one website? (Along those lines, anybody want to take over <a _mce_href="http://architourist.pbworks.com/" href="http://architourist.pbworks.com/">The Archi-Tourist</a>? If so, just <a _mce_href="mailto:archidose@yahoo.com" href="mailto:archidose@yahoo.com">email me</a>; it's yours for free.);</li><li>I'd like to devote the time and effort in creating the weekly doses to other things, such as <a _mce_href="http://www.world-architects.com/en/emagazine/architecture-news" href="http://www.world-architects.com/en/emagazine/architecture-news" target="_blank">my work at World-Architects</a>, teaching at NYIT, my <a _mce_href="http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/johnhill" href="http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/johnhill" target="_blank">writing at Houzz</a>, the occasional architectural walking tours, and perhaps writing another book.</li></ul>This isn't goodbye – you can still find me here on this blog.
