Random Mirror Podcasts

What have computers got to do with cows? Can a wooden mirror help us understand the computing behind digital image capture? Neil Rowse is the first dairy farmer in the UK to use a computerised system that gives cows control over when they are milked, and allows him to remotely monitor the welfare of individual animals. Daniel Rozin has created an computer operated mirror made from 835 tilting wooden tiles. With the help of a digital camera and a computer programme, the wooden tiles mimic the digital pixel information and tilt themselves into a ‘reflection’. This material is taken from The Open University course T224 Computers and processors.

Each episode, I’ll be chatting with extraordinary people who are enjoying success in their field, and saying to them, “let’s take a look in your mirror”. Each of us has our own story of overcoming adversity. Getting past those obstacles. Leaving the past behind us. In this show, you’ll hear how some of the most successful and extraordinary household names of now and the future have overcome their demons to win big in life. Everyone has a story of how they’ve looked in their mirror, and then looked back at their past life from the rear view mirror. My hope is that you listen to these stories, and then feel inspired in some way to model yourself on these guests. After all, they ARE extraordinary people. Eventually, maybe you, too, can feel inspired to look back at your past life in your rear view mirror.
