For a paltry $500 you can have a replica (built from left over steel from the “Birds Nest” national stadium) of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Torch. I love the Olympics as much as the next guy/gal… but not sure I want a 29cm tall version of it laying around collecting…
Love camping… but not a fan of pitching your tent on the ground with the scorpions, spiders, rodents, etc…? Check out the Lawson Hammock tent. This tent comes with spreader bars on both ends so you don’t feel like a mummy… it can hold one person and their gear. Pretty…
Looks like Honda is dedicating more energy and development on an all new hybrid vehicle. This hybrid is not going to share a body style with another existing vehicle… like their last hybrids did (civic, accord, etc…). This hybrid will be available in the fall of 2009 and Honda expects…

So I heard this from my father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate who lives in England that there is an iPhone Nano in the making and it will be landing by Christmas. This was confirmed by an online article in UK so you know this shit is real. The product…
Although I was deeply disappointed at the absence of robot sharks with frickin laser beams attached to their heads, the 11th International Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Competition was still awesome. Robotic subs competed in a variety of tasks showing off their technological prowess. This year a team from the University of…
As if Segway wasn’t lame enough, Toyota joined the lineup of Segway’s knockoffs with a gimp little entry called Winglet. Winglet sounds more like a Maxi Pad knockoff for tiny cooters but I digress. Since Sony scrapped most of its robotics division (yes kids they shot Aibo the dog), Toyota…
“If I can do it so can you.” This is the tag line for “Barbara K!” who claims that it is her “desire is to inspire women to become more self-reliant and confident in their own abilities…” Maybe she should start off by getting them a real tool kit instead…
