     Tattooed wrists can prevent the Apple Watch from functioning properly.  According to some customers the watch's heart rate sensor does not work on their tattooed wrists.  The heart rate sensor determines whether or not you're wearing it.  Because of this issue you might not be able to use Apple play,  receive notifications, and place calls. The device does not work because in order to monitor your heartbeat it flashes green and infrared lights. Both of these lights need to be absorbed by the skin to work. Solid colored tattoos absorb the green lights and reflect the red lights, which means the sensor cannot function properly.

Rest Devices Company has made their new "mimo baby" to demo their new "Smart Onsie".  On the front of the garment there are two green stripes.  These are actually respiratory sensors to keep track of the child's breathing.  At the end of the two green stripes is a small plastic turtle.  This is turtle has a few very small sensors on the inside of it.  They can keep track of many things such as: body position, activity level, and skin temperature.  Parents can keep track of their child through a mobile app on any IOS/Android devices.  Another option that is in the works is a light up mug, this however, only would show respiratory patterns.

Spring Break

Over spring break I went out with friends.  On Monday night I went to see Fast and Furious 7.   It was a really good movie. I also had Shake Shack  for the first time.  Most of the other nights I went to the field with my friends and hung out with a lot of people.  I also got a lot of sleep which was really nice as well.
