Hi, I'm Lynne Watanabe. This is my personal Tumblr, opinions are mine... I'm interested in tech/ media trends, e-health, anime/games, cycling, maritime & music to dance to in the kitchen. I'm currently into the "Quantified-self" health gadget movement, pwning my kids on DC2 & I challenge anyone to a dance battle! ;) Twitter: @lynnewatanabe Google+: google.com/+LynneWatanabe

How do I look riding one of these?! I want a electric scooter!! They are so much fun to drive and pretty easy to learn too. So smooth and quiet, it wasn't what I expected, feels so liberating and fun to go fast (without pedaling). All I can think of is that Bad Motor Scooter song by Montrose. :) https://youtu.be/tk52nGxF-jc #Mahindragenze #Genze #Fun!!! (at Fremont, California)

So, I started a new hobby this evening. Get ready @apofong for our duet. But in actuality, it might take me a few yrs to get to speed. Tonight we played Michael Row The Boat Ashore and several 2 and 3 chord hits as good as stroke victims with slow moving hands grappling the neck of our ukes. "Slide that third finger, slide!" Teacher Michelle Kiba, The #Ukalady is awesome and so funny ignoring our slow clumsy hands, she just sang louder, it was pretty funny. It was fun to learn something new. #SantaCruz #ukelelehappiness http://www.ukalady.com/ (at Santa Cruz Art League)

Fascinating talk on how 3D printing is taking off in multiple industries. "Must understand polymers in additive manufacturing as this field grows in new areas." It's not "Plug/Play" when dealing with high performance & understanding polymer properties is key. #exponent #MenloPark (at Failure Analysis Associates)

My temporary #bike lock happens to be my helmet around the back wheel/frame and this chair that magically camouflages the bike as furniture background. Amazing, non?! :P #cycling #bikecommute to dinner. (at Le Boulanger - Campbell)
