The Way I Are

Matchbook Faces



From what I can tell, there are several series, my favorite being the bunny rabbit above. Poor things don't wanna get lit up. Now I'm thinking maybe I should make one with little puppies.

Moller M200G Hovacraft



Moller Industries, the brainchild of inventor Dr. Paul Moller, announced recently that production would begin on the company's M200G volantor, a UFO-esque hovercraft that apparently can "glide over terrain at 50 MPH." Moller, long known for his work in both hovercrafts and flying vehicles has been working on alternative forms of transportation for 40 years. The futuristic looking craft is driven by the company's Rotapower engines, and can allegedly operate up to 10 feet in altitude. Of course, while Moller Industries offers lots of exciting talk about the future of transportation (as well as t-shirts, models, and investment options) to its customers, the company has never brought a vehicle to market. Clearly, the announcement of a "Jetsons-like" craft may fuel enthusiast's hope (and pull in some escrow cash), but the actual production and sale of the $90,000+ vehicle has yet to be seen.

Salt N' Pepper Lego Shakers


This design from Joel Hesselgren is the most ingenious use of Lego for food consumption that we've seen since the LEGO dragon soy sauce and mayonnaise dispenser. The white column holds the salt while the black column holds the pepper, and the amount of each is regulated by how many of the holes are covered at once. You can get an equal distribution of salt and pepper, a 2:1, or just one or the other. Ingenious, and something we'd actually like to see in buyable form.

Oryx



Made of carbon composite, the handlebars, stem and fork are all one piece, with the ergonomic seat post and saddle integrated into the frame. Handlebars connect to frame via a pivot, and the seat even has a hole in it in case you get taken short while cycling to keep you cool while you work the pedals.
The Y-frame shape means that the Oryx is shock-proof and keeps you in contact with the road at all time, and there is a one-sided fork and chain-stay. The crank is designed like a ring and mounted inside the frame on a couple of ball bearings, and the wheels detach from the bike at the push of a button, a useful time-saver for competitions.

The new Nike Zvezdochka, designed by Mark Newton, basicly 3 shoes cause they come apart and you can wear the sock or the jelly shoe or all three together.

Can't Tell Me Nothing

I like this Music Video!

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix


It was for adults than the kids. Less than I've expected. Wand duel was OK. Daniel Radcliffe (I'm not sure I've spelled it right) proved to becoming a good actor. Going to read the next book got me hooked.
