Not that long ago, I posted about a really cool free web conference software called openmeetings. It was a little harsh in terms of install, setup, and configuration. The hardest part was scaling the product in terms of networking and QOS. I planned on coming back to that product for more testing when someone tipped [...]

Loremo 120 MPG Car Update
June 11th, 2009 
admin A while ago I posted about a really interesting concept car called Loremo. I was pretty stunned in that post to find they were purporting 150 mpg. I think those numbers have come down a little, but still impressive to say the least. Anyway, Loremo has demoed their prototype and will be starting production in [...]

Microsoft Project Natal Body Controller
June 8th, 2009 admin Taking a note from the Wii, Microsoft plans on making your whole body the controller with Project Natal. It will be interesting to see if people really like this. It’s a neat concept, but my guess is some gamers will like this. Mainly because it’s too much work!
TechCrunch’s Crunchlet Pretty Amazing
June 5th, 2009 admin Okay, so they didn’t name it the Crunchlet. I’ve seen Crunch Pad, but I didn’t love that name. Sorry if that is the designated name. Until I see otherwise, I’ll call it the Crunchlet. In any case, Arrington and the folks over at Tech Crunch / Crunch Gear have done something that absolutely warms my [...]
Cockroach Controlled Robot
June 4th, 2009 admin Okay, sometimes you just have to do things, you know experiment, because you can. It’s all in the name of science or, er, science fiction. Well, the folks over at ConceptLab decided to let a cockroach control a robot. Hey, someone needs to tell them that the cockroaches will take us over in the end [...]
Amazing Aurora Space Photos and Video
June 3rd, 2009 admin Credit: Senior Airman Joshua Strang, Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska The Auroras are amazing in and of themselves. The lights have mesmerized people for eons.

June 1st, 2009 admin Well, well, I was wondering when someone would come out with this. It seems Ariens has come out with the Amp electric riding mower. It’s not exactly cost effective, but it runs quieter. Yeah, that price tag is around $3200 upfront with $800 battery replacement costs. You can count on replacing batteries every 3-4 years. [...]
