Okay, I'm back. Sorry for taking most of last week off. For some reason I didn't get around to posting. And this weekend I was out of town. But I should be able to post more often now. Anyway, here goes.

INFINITI ESSENCE CONCEPT



"Talk about a sexy car, this one is borderline amazing. The sleek styling is one thing we expect from Inifiniti but they shattered the figurative glass ceiling with their, well, glass ceiling. This concept car boasts 592 hp and is a gasoline/electric hybrid car."

MAKE WATER MORE FLUID



"Hate bending all the way down just to rinse your mouth out, or even worse, wasting water and time washing a cup used to hold water to drink/rinse your mouth out? The cool people at Köhler have solved this dilemma for you."

Orbital Ion Cannon



"Giving “life” to fictitious structures is a challenge and challenge is what LEGO fanatics like Fedde thrive on. The Battle of Iziz could have had a different animation version of the Ion Cannon had the artists got a glimpse of this version. Dubbed the Karf Oolhu, the orbital cannon is closest to reality with a main center engine, the main gun, the starfighter upper deck, a missile control arm and even a six-barrel defense turret."

The GaitAid Virtual Walker to the rescue of Cerebral Palsy patients

"Cerebral Palsy is directly related to physical disorders and an imbalanced walk is a curse for patients suffering with CP. Researches haven’t gone beyond treating the symptoms of the blight for they declare it as incurable. The affected patients can finally heave a sigh of relief as they can at least manage to improve their balance and walk normally using the GaitAid Virtual Walker. Developed by Computer Science Professor Yoram Baram, PhD; the Virtual Walker is a mammoth development in this field of research. Controlled using a Cellphone sized control unit and a pair of high-tech goggles capable of relaying sensory feedback of images and sounds, the walker comprehends a patient’s movement and then gives a response."

I Met a Terminator and Lived to Tell the Story



"Driving through the New Mexico desert during summer's peak, my mouth as parched as the baked terrain, I wonder to myself, what would Dr. Frankenstein do if he lived today?"

Wooden Large Hadron Collider Carries Minimal Risk of World-Ending Black Holes



"The real Large Hadron Collider has been a bit of a disappointment to date, so an impatient Russian artist decided to make his own. Out of wood."

Drawing Lego Robot



"The robot was built by Nils Völker for the exhibition “Makers & Spectators” at the MU in Eindhoven by Christien Meindertsma.

An eyetracker records the movement of the visitor’s eyes. A robot hanging from the ceiling on top of a large pile of paper makes one dot for every point the visitor has been looking at. This results in large scale images showing how the same objects have been seen differently."

Yes, I was going to have to get on to you for being so lax in your blog.

Now let me say this: That car is sweet. But if you have the money to buy it, why would you need to save on gas? I guess it makes you feel better about the environment? And it looks better than a Ford Fiesta. Or Festiva.

Anyway, I couldn't find the mpg for the car. But I did like this picture of it:



Oh, and faucet is my second favorite thing. I need one of those, too.
