Flying Cars, Soybean Fuel, and the Apple iBike

Jeffrey Davis — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 15:13:19 +0000

I spend a LOT of time in front of my computer between web designing and writing. I write somewhere between 10-25 articles per week.

Some of my personal favorite articles that I wrote this week were:

Soybeans Could Help Cars Use Thin Air For Fuel (On MNN)
Flying Cars To Become a Reality in 2011…and With Great Gas Mileage (On Greenwala)
Apple iBike Could Be One Bike To Rule Them All (On Greenwala)
The ThinBike: Amazingly Simple Bike Design That You Wish You’d Thought Of (On The Fun Times Guide to Living Green)

Which one(s) do you like?

Quote of the Day: The Illusion of Space

Jeffrey Davis — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 14:19:37 +0000

The most deceptive of all illusions is very likely space. You know, that thing between “here” and “there” that would have you see yourself alone, instead of as the bridge between them. That medium between you and the rest of the world that disguises your role in creating it. You know, that veil through which the physical senses must explore your chiseled secrets.

Now there is something to think about, eh?

Quote of the Day: Responsibility and the Soul

Jeffrey Davis — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 17:00:38 +0000

Young souls learn to accept responsibility for their actions. Mature souls learn to accept responsibility for their thoughts. And old souls learn to accept responsibility for their happiness.

Quote of the Day: There Is No Wrong

So many times we war with one another over who is “right”. That unfortunate action has come to not sit well with me. Could there be a right without a wrong? No, the two ideas are dependent on each other…that’s called dualism.

Consider that when chewing on today’s quote.

There’s never just one right answer. And there’s never just one right question.

Kid-Friendly Fatalities…Kind of

Jeffrey Davis — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 17:08:05 +0000

As a long-time gamer and an old-school fan of the Mortal Kombat franchise, I think this is just epic.

Geeks Are Sexy says, “Mortal Kombat fatalities are not what we could actually call ‘kid-friendly’, but these from Youtube user Eric Power almost make the whole thing look cute. Almost.”

Quote of the Day: Actions and Words

Jeffrey Davis — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 15:51:06 +0000

A dream not followed by consistent action, however humble or small the actions may be, points to either a huge contradiction or a gigantic misunderstanding.

Because when people get clear and realize just how powerful they truly are, wild horses can’t stop them from taking even the humblest of baby steps, everyday.

Quote of the Day: Bad Things vs Bad People

Jeffrey Davis — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 12:48:27 +0000

To young souls, there are good folks and bad folks. To mature souls there are only good folks, though some do bad things. And old souls, only see themselves.

UFO Grounds Chinese Air Traffic

Jeffrey Davis — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 20:38:43 +0000

See. All yall say I’m crazy for believing in the existence of life elsewhere in the cosmos. Well that life got all up in the business of Chinese air traffic late Wednesday night.

According to DailyMail,

A Chinese airport was closed after this mysterious object was spotted in the sky. Arcing over Zhejiang’s provincial capital Hangzhou, the UFO appeared to glow with an eerie white light and left a bright trail in its wake. Xiaoshan Airport was closed after the UFO was detected at around 9 pm and dozens of flights had to be diverted.

Stunned witnesses reported seeing a comet-like fireball in the sky and a number of local residents took photos of the strange ball of light. A local bus driver, giving his name only as Yu, said he had seen a strange glowing object in the sky late on Wednesday afternoon. ‘The thing suddenly ran westwards fast, like it was escaping from something,’ he said.

Here are some images that eye-witnesses captured:
