Over at the GE Adventure blog we’ve been pretty busy cataloging our thoughts and experiences. We’ve now been on three trips with a fourth to come next week. We’ve visited GE’s Global Research Center , climbed the Wind Turbine at Jiminy Peak and gone down to Maryland to check out GE’s Maternal Infant Care business.
Anyway, I thought I’d do a quick roundup of some highlights from the site over the last month:
- We explained why shells don’t break when they’re dropped
- We wrote about the value of computers learning to forget some things rather than just remembering everything.
- We explained how having a baby is one of the only pleasant and planned hospital experiences (and made some sweet animated GIFs).
- We wrote a little about behavioral economics and health
- We posted a video where the folks from Jiminy Peak explain how wind turbines actually work
- We spent some time thinking about the aesthetics of wind
- We had an idea that maybe you could use GE asset management technology to prove that food was local
- We posted a video showing how they got the giant wind turbine to the top of Jiminy Peak
- We explained why it’s so important to keep babies warm (and also showed off the “Baby Susan” in GE’s OmniBed).
- We talked about the age of majority and why hospitals keep medical records for so long
That’s just a few highlights, there lots more at the blog
