Solar Ivy Interesting Alternative Energy Design
It’s staggering how little has been done in solar and wind alternative energy. I think that shows just how apathetic we are when it comes to such ideas. However, some folks have recently come up with a pretty neat idea. It involves making solar cells that look like ivy, as you can see in the flash video above. But this is also a wind generator, as you will see.
Chess Set for Tesla Electric Sweetness
Paul Fryer is an artist working with All Visual Artists. All Visual Artists is an unlikely collaboration between Joe La Placa, art world insider, and Mike Platt, a legendary multi millionaire CEO. They are collecting modern art works that they themselves commission. This chess set is an example. I like it.
iRiver Spinn 8 Fringe Goodie
The iRiver Spinn 8 is still a hidden treasure. Not many people have heard of it frankly, but that’s not because of its merits. Its Amoled screen produces striking colors, though it can only reproduce thousands. It is a touch screen, though lack of oil repelling front material leaves it smudgy. But it’s still a very interesting player.

HTC Hero Serious Android Device
Well, Android has found another partner in the HTC Hero. HTC has really done a good job of making an interface that is user friendly and sexy. And the chassis looks great and is highly functional.

Apple iPhone and iPod Touch Vulnerabilities
Mobile devices are becoming smarter and more convenient. The problem with that is they become targets. And now that your data is mobile, theft is an issue.

59 Foot Gundam Transformer in Tokyo
I wasn’t going to post this, I really wasn’t. I really thought the first transformers movie was a travesty, running a middle road between appeasing the “older” crowd and the younger noobs. Frankly, I wanted something brutal and more realistic. Oh well, rant over. But when I saw these shots, courtesy of Pink Tentacle, I just had to repost them. Well, that and because I’m a Pink Tentacle fan.
