Chic Solar Powered Bus Stop to Replace Cars?

2009-05-24T04:02:00.000-07:00

While Americans have begun to use cars more than ever, here is a new design by the students of MIT which might change that very ‘ungreen’ habit of people to use cars and avoid public transportation. The students have designed the EyeStop which is an amazingly chic bus stop that is aimed at getting the Americans back at the bus stops.

Passengers can now wait for the bus and engage themselves through televised entertainment, news, weather service, solar powered experience, interactive web tools, eboard where they can put up ads, and much more. It is even being touted as a future community gathering space.

I somehow even doubt the functionality of the bus stop, as people may play the fools if its located in a weird neighborhood. EyeStop certainly looks chic but it is nothing compared to the petrol guzzling luxury cars we always feature. Nevertheless, I must be bludgeoned to death for making such ungreen remarks. All apologies.

8 Life Lessons We Can All Learn From 'Predator'

2009-05-14T09:01:00.000-07:00

Don't Push Too Many Pencils

When we learn it: Dutch is reunited with his old "friend" and they lock arms to see which one has more pump left in their ridiculously huge biceps.
Why it's important: It's a simple, childish game designed to determine which participant is stronger, but in this context it helps remind us that spending too much time stuck behind a desk will leave you a puny weakling.

Do Whatever It Takes To Survive

When we learn it: Tracker, Billy breaks a vine in half and drinks some of the liquid from within, Man Vs. Wild-style.
Why it's important: You don't have to be heading into a jungle to benefit from some general survival skills. Not only will you make your old Boy Scout leader proud, but it might save you from becoming a meal for a hungry bear or ... a particularly sporty alien hunter.

Payback Is A Bitch

When we learn it: Upon discovering some of their fellow soldiers that have been skinned and strung up, our elite squadron sets out for payback.
Why it's important: Almost everyone loves getting revenge. Luckily, not everyone has access to a huge chaingun like Old Painless, but this scene should make you think twice about the consequences before you do something to piss off someone else.

Rank Isn't Always Important

When we learn it: Mac threatens to "bleed" Dillon if he gives up the squads position just one more time.
Why it's important: Though he outranks the rest of the team, Dillon's slip-up put the whole team at risk. Just because you're the boss doesn't mean you get a free pass to suck.

We Ain't Got Time To Bleed

When we learn it: Upon storming the guerrilla camp, Blain takes a bullet. When he's asked about it, he replies simply, "I ain't got time to bleed."
Why it's important: Somehow, we find time to update our Twitter and Facebook pages 30 times a day, while this guy doesn't even have time to bleed. A lot more would get done if we shared his sense of urgency. Even Jesse Ventura today keeps himself constantly occupied by acting completely insane.

When In Doubt, Fire Wildly Into The Woods

When we learn it: After his first encounter with the Predator who has just killed his squad-mate, Mac picks up old painless and peppers the nearby shrubbery with bullets. The rest of the team soon joins in.
Why it's important: It takes a whole hell of a lot of bullets, but one finally catches the Predator, spilling some of his blood and providing an important clue. It's not the most efficient model for getting things done, but it's a lot better than sitting back and doing nothing.

Never Rely On The Help Of Others

When we learn it: The situation is beyond FUBAR, but the superiors refuse to authorize air transport out of the suck.
Why it's important: Self-reliance is a valuable trait to have, whether you're in the jungle or trying to get something on a really high shelf at Home Depot.

If It Bleeds, We Can Kill It

When we learn it: After having a talk with their female captive, Arnold and Co. set up a series of Home Alone-worthy booby traps to snare their snarly enemy.
Why it's important: All this talk about killing is simply a metaphor for getting things done. With strategy, cooperation and lots of hard work, there really isn't anything that can't be accomplished. It also helps if you bring a bunch of of machine guns.

2009-05-14T08:56:00.000-07:00

Guy Builds Electric Bike, Saves Energy

2009-05-08T16:40:00.001-07:00

Richard Gryzch got really tired of going to the gas station to fill his bike every time. In fact he started hating it so much that he decided to mod a bike himself to run on solar and electric power. He also was not convinced of the idea about going to get a cool electric bike already available in the market.

His modded bike comes covered in solar panel and can reach a speed of about 90 miles per hour. It also has a range of 50 miles which he plans to increase to 300 miles. It is not clear of the bike is 100 percent solar but it certainly is a great a bike and looking at the way it works, we can say that it is really green and eco friendly.

I guess it is always nice to mod our own bikes instead of spending a lot of money on them, and buying something off the showroom. There is no information about either the price or availability.

World’s Smallest Spy Helicopter Rocks

2009-05-08T16:35:00.000-07:00

The PD-100 Black Hornet ‘nanocopter’ is an amazing mini helicopter that comes with many features that toy helicopters don’t come with. In fact this is designed as a spy gadget which can be used by the army and since its so small, it can’t be detected easily by the enemies. The Black Hornet is controlled by the smallest and also the lightest control servo in the world.

It weighs just 0.5 grams and the electric motor helps the Black Hornet to fly at speeds of 20mph. However these will only be sold to the government and its agencies and would not be sold in public though both military and civilian versions would be released.

It would interesting to analyze how civilians could use such a spy gadget. Rather, it could even be misused and abused. Nevertheless, these Black Hornets are technological marvels and it would be nice to buy one of them, if they are ever made available.

Minimalist Family House with Black Exterior

2009-05-07T01:07:00.000-07:00

Somebody rightly said, “Home sweet home.” The S-2 Family House, which is a conceptual proposal for a home in Namyslow, Poland, reminds me of this famous cliché. The designs and the architecture of the S-2 Family House is rather simple but yet very unconventional and sophisticated. Although, you may not find the similar designs of any contemporary modernist residential in it, you will still love its uniqueness.
The dominant color of the house is the dark charcoal color that is a huge contrast to its green and salubrious environment. Its design is predominantly masculine and monumental. While the overall design of the house is traditional, its execution however, is distinctly modern. Thus, in some ways the house is a beautiful blend of traditionalism and modernism.
The walls and the roof are blank and shingled planes, which are punctuated by windows on only one side.The S-2 Family House is very symbolic per se. The dark charcoal symbolizes the growth of urban industrialism. It’s a perfect blend of tradition and modernism. I wish I too had a house like S-2 Family House.

Tree Houses Of The World

2009-05-05T16:34:00.000-07:00

The treehouse above, called Free Spirit Spheres, was originally conceived as a spherical houseboat. It is 10.5 feet in diameter and is suspended by nylon ropes attached to three trees on Vancouver Island.

Heidi’s Treehouse Chalet, Poulsbo, Wash.

Nelson describes this 450-square-foot treehouse as a "chalet-style fairy-tale aerie." The owner especially loves that a ramp, rather than the traditional ladder or stairs, lead to the house.

A view from the living room to the bedroom nook. The ladders go to sleeping lofts.

Trillium Treehouse: Fall City, Wash.

A more modern treehouse hangs off the side of a western red cedar. This treehouse was started during a five-day workshop at the Northwest Treehouse School, which Nelson also runs.

Scranton Treehouse: Scranton, Pa.

Everyone should have access to a treehouse! At least that's what the people behind Forever Young Treehouses believe. Using volunteers, they have built 19 U.S. treehouses, all of which comply with the American Disabilities Act.

Teepee Treehouse: eastern Pennsylvania

Nelson found this treehouse through his partner Jake Jacob. It was designed with a Native American theme (note the teepee-like roof) and is made almost entirely of salvaged or reclaimed materials.

Porecatu Treehouse: Porecatu, Brazil

Nelson isn't the only treehouse specialist in the world. Ricardo Brunellie, Brazil's preeminent treehouse builder, built this house about 300 miles west of Sao Paulo.

A large extended family uses the Porecatu Treehouse as a weekend retreat.

Beach Rock Treehouse: Okinawa, Japan

This treehouse by Japanese builder Kobayahsi Takashi was constructed with the express purpose of communicating with outer space. "A sparkling beacon among treetops, it is easy to imagine the dome succeeding at its mission to make contact with alien life," writes Nelson.

The treehouse can accommodate six people in two rooms and is on the beach. Proceeds from rentals help sustain the green iguana project.

Big Beach in the Sky, Hainan, China
A three-storey structure with two double bedrooms in a tamarind tree overlooking the beach near the city of Sanya on the island of Hainan. It was devised by entrepreneur David Greenberg based in Hawaii - Hainan is twinned with Hawaii - and the name reflects a magic mushroom-induced moment he enjoyed in 1972.

The two houses, which are set a mile apart, have two storeys, wraparound balconies, coir matting and thatched roofs. Bullock dung powers the cookers and water is diverted from mountain streams. Food is hoisted up by pulley.

Cedar Creek Treehouse, Near Ashford, Washington State, US

The octagonal observatory, linked by a bridge to the house, is equipped with telescope and binoculars for star-gazing.

10 Porn Stars Who Gave Their Bods To God

2009-05-02T01:04:00.000-07:00

Despite all the smiles and moans, it turns out that having sex on film for money can really mess a person up. So after having had to deal with all types of demons, from horrific childhoods to drug and alcohol problems to just feeling like a used piece of meat, these 10 porn stars traded in fame and fortune in the porn industry to become servants of God.

Crissy Moran

Now known on her Myspace page http://www.myspace.com/yourfriendcrissy as “Once was lost but now am found, Crissy,” Crissy Moran left the porn industry in 2006 after becoming a born-again Christian. Before finding God, appeared in tons of videos and in magazines around the world, with a majority of her photos appearing in Hustler. Despite rumors that Crissy had returned to porn, nothing could be further from the truth. Instead, she’s now living the good life, working at as an assistant manager at a tanning salon. Which is definitely a change of pace from earning oodles of cash by showing people your a$$hole.

Bettie Page

Believe it or not, the infamous Betty Page got her start in modeling with a police-officer/amateur photographer, who helped Page put together her first modeling portfolio. After getting set-up with some underground pornographers, Page began shooting her now-iconic bondage and sadomasochistic photos with photographer Irving Klaw, which depicted her a both a leather-clad dominatrix and a bound and gagged submissive mistress. In 1955, she appeared as Playboy’s Playmate of the Month and soon after became “Miss Pin Up Girl of the World.” But all that changed in 1959 when she converted to Christianity after attending the Key West Temple Baptist Church. She then went on to work for evangelist Billy Graham, and left the world of being naked with cheetahs behind her.

Houston

Busty blond, Houston was once one of the leading writers, producers and stars in the adult industry. She rose to stardom after the release of Houston 500, a film in which she f**ks more than 620 dudes in a row. Houston soon after appeared on the Howard Stern Show, went to prom with one of his listeners, and life was good. OK, that’s a lie - apparently, when you screw over 620 dudes in a row, it changes things (who knew?) and she too went to work for the Lord, which, surprisingly, didn’t involve anything close to marathon f**k fests.

Sky Lopez

If you’ve ever been to spring break in a place where doing the most debaucherous things imaginable is all there is to it, then I don’t have to explain to you why someone named Sky “Spring Break” Lopez would eventually get sick of that sh!t and join a church. Sure, partying and having non-descriminate sex might seem like a good thing when you’re only there for a week. But try making that your entire life and you’ll know why Sky Lopez is now a soldier of the man upstairs. (Hint: It has nothing to do with wet t-shirt contests.)

Michelle Maren

Michelle Maren got her start in the sex industry as a go-go dancer after winning the 1981 Miss Big Apple competition. She then went on to work as an escort for eight years before starting in porn. But as she says on her blog http://michellemaren.blogspot.com/ , she was the only one who wasn’t getting totally wasted on drugs while shooting, so she “didn’t last very long,” having only worked as a porn star for one year, starring in only one movie, “Throat: 12 Years After.” Gee, couldn’t have seen that one coming…er, something like that.

Samantha Fox

Before Lucy Pinder and Keeley Hazell, there was Samatha Fox. The British glamour model first got her start in nude modeling after her mother sent in photographs of the then-teenage Fox to a newspaper modeling contest. She tied for first, and soon appeared topless in the publication (with consent of her parents, of course.) Needless to say, her awesome rack quickly launched her to celebrity status and Fox found herself in the pages of magazines like Playboy. But then God kicked in and ruined everything for everybody after Samantha left the adult industry to pursue more Christian endeavors. Way to go, God…

Linda Lovelace

Possibly the most famous porn star of all-time, Linda Lovelace (born Linda Susan Boreman) gained international fame for her role in the now-infamous 1972 flick, Deep Throat. But her time in the industry wasn’t all smiles and blow jobs. Before Deep Throat, she was forced into the adult industry by her ex-husband, Chuck Traynor, who had her making 8mm beastiality movies, like the classy title, Dog F**ker. She eventually divorced Traynor, turned to God and became an outspoken anti-pornography advocate, saying in her 1986 autobiography, Out of Bondage, “When you see the movie Deep Throat, you are watching me being raped. It is a crime that movie is still showing; there was a gun to my head the entire time.” So, um… I think now I need to go to church.

Sophia Lynn

A fairly recent convert, Sophia Lynn left the adult industry in 2008 to go back to school and, of course, go back to Christ. After her retirement from porn, she took a job as a church secretary at the Celebrate Community Church, a non-denominational perish in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where she currently works and causes every single dude in Celebrate Community Church to want to cheat on their wives.

Shelley Lubben

Like many of the ladies on this list, Shelley Lubben, known by her stage name, Roxy, had an extremely rough and tumble life. She was sexually assaulted at age nine, and spent years as a prostitute in order to support herself before entering the adult industry. After contracting genital herpes, Lubben left the industry and became a devout Christian, making it her mission in life to steer people away from porn in whatever way possible, saying the industry is out to “completely destroy you and your family through its ability to lure you, support your addiction to porn and make a profit off of it.” So, that’s one way to look at it…

Erica Campbell

Beautiful, busty stunner Erica Campbell first got her start as a glamour model after winning the Mystique Magazine Model Safari in 2003. Her smokin’, all-natural bod was soon being featured in the pages of Playboy, and was named Playboy’s “Special Editions Model of the Year” in 2005. She was also a Cyber Girl of the Month in 2006 and a Penthouse Pet in April 2007. And even though most of her work is far more tame than a lot of the women on this list, the industry soon drove Erica to close down her Website and start devoting herself to Christ, that lucky bastard.

The Most Expensive Books Ever Sold

2009-05-02T00:53:00.000-07:00

In a world where everything is becoming increasingly digitized and where whole reams of information are readily accessible via the internet and electronic libraries, extreme value is still being placed on the humble book. People are willing to pay incredible sums of money just to own and hold a copy of one of these rare, antiquated gems.

$781,000 – Gerardus Mercator’s “Atlas”
A cartographer from France, Mercator was responsible for the first book to be called an “atlas”. His 1595 atlas sold at Sotheby’s auction for an astounding $781,000. Mercator was also famous for coming up with the Mercator projection method of depicting the spherical nature of the earth on a flat map and is a technique that is still used today.

$1.9 million – The 13th Amendment
Not much to say about this one, but it is an incredible piece of history for those lucky enough to see a copy of the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution at auction. The document, which declares that all slaves shall be free and was effectively what brought an end to slavery, was even signed by one Abraham Lincoln. High-res here

$3.9 million – Ptolemy’s “Geographia” (aka “Cosmographia”)
The world’s first printed atlas, printed in 1477 and authored by Ptolemy, this went for a large amount of money when it went up for auction in 2006 after the previous owner – a Lord Wardington – died.

$4.7 million – Henri Louis Duhamel du Monceau’s “Traité des arbres fruitiers” (“Treatise on Fruit Trees”)
Exactly as it sounds, a five volume set written in the 18th century and entirely about fruit trees, although it does have some great illustrations by Pierre Antoine Poiteau and Pierre Jean François Turpin. This book went on auction in 2006 at Pierre Bergé in Brussels and fetched an incredible price, you have to agree. For your money, you would have gotten illustrations of 16 different species of fruit tree accompanied by detailed scientific text.

$5 million – William Shakespeare’s “Comedies, Histories & Tragedies” or “First Folio”
Most commonly referred to as the First Folio, this is essentially a comprehensive collection of 36 of Shakespeare’s plays and is also known as the “Actor’s Bible” when it comes to performing the works of Shakespeare, as many believe it to be the most accurate when it comes to information on how to perform the plays as the Bard intended. A complete copy was auctioned in 2006 for roughly $5 million, however in mid-2008 a copy was stolen from Durham University in England in 1998 resurfaced because the thief had asked a Shakespeare library in Washington D.C to value the work, with the estimate coming in at around $21.4 million. But as it was not sold for this much, it cannot be placed higher on this list.

$8.8 million – John James Audubon’s “Birds of America”
A collection containing scientific descriptions of birds native to the United States, along with paintings and drawings to accompany the descriptions, this was naturalist John James Audubon’s cultural masterpiece. A copy was sold at auction in 2000, fetching the princely sum of $8.8 million and as this book was made using prints fashioned from engraved plates, this book is technically a printed book and thus it still holds the records for the most paid for any single printed book (the top two in this list are hand written/drawn).

$20.1 million/$11.6 million – Gospels of Henry the Lion
Although sources seem to vary the price, it is still in the top two most expensive books ever to be sold. This work of art was commissioned by Henry the Lion, then Duke of Saxony, in around 1188. The work was to be completed by monks of the Benedictine Helmarshausen Abbey to be placed on the altar at Brunswick Cathedral. The gospel book itself contains 266 hand written pages, with 50 of them being full page illustrations (lavishly decorated with gold leaf and full color), an almost unheard of amount for hand written books at the time. The book went on auction in 1983 and a number of foundations and private donors pooled their resources to come up with the money to keep the treasure in Germany.

$30.8 million – Leonardo da Vinci’s “Codex Leicester”
The Codex is comprised of a collection of Leonardo da Vinci’s scientific writings and drawings and is arguably the most famous of all of da Vinci’s scientific journals. This most important of scientific and cultural treasures was previously owned by a wealthy collector by the name of Armand Hammer (when the Codex was named the Codex Hammer). However, in 1994, Microsoft founder Bill Gates bought it at a record price when it went to auction, making it the most expensive book/collection in the history of everything, ever. He then renamed it the Codex Leicester (presumably in honor of Thomas Coke, the later Earl of Leicester that purchased the Codex in 1717).

Peugeot RD Concept Car Full Size Model Revealed in Shanghai Show

2009-04-27T01:14:00.001-07:00

If you happen to visit the 2009 Auto Shanghai Exhibition in China then, don’t forget to take a look at Peugeot RD concept design, which is displayed on the same exhibition as a full-size model. Carlos Arturo Torres Tovar of Columbia who has just graduated from the National University of Columbia is the designer of the car. His concept car won the project in Peugeot’s 5th Annual Design Competition.

The theme for the contest was “Imagine the Peugeot of the worldwide Megapollis of tomorrow”. The main innovative operating feature of the Peugeot RD concept car won the competition for its phenomenal features. It provides high road-holding ability with ease of use in congested traffic. It also has an environmentally friendly electric motor, paranomic vision, voice-message driving assistance and a heads-up display system.

Besides the combination of the sensations of a 3-wheeled scooter with the driving pleasure of a saloon car, the car also retains all the essential functions of both modes of transport. Carlos received a cheque for 10,000 Euros and an Xbox 360 game console for winning the competition.

La Machine à Ecrire le Temps is a Horological Masterpiece

2009-04-25T14:43:00.000-07:00

La Machine à Ecrire le Temps was revealed at the Baselworld 2009. The device is a technological and horological masterpiece. In French, the device means, The Machine which Writes Time. This automaton is designed to suit the requirements of 21 century and was created by Montres Jaquet Droz. It took almost ten years to build this masterpiece and with about 1200 components, it gingerly holds on to itself.

The makers say they can only produce a few copies a year and it would cost a mind boggling $342,000. This is truly expensive and even if you could afford, you may not get one for yourself, as only a few would be made each year. La Machine à Ecrire le Temps has a steampunk feel to it and I would love to buy this if I could.

However, if you can’t get this for yourself, here is a video that you could watch and satiate your needs. There was a time when horological devices were the most advanced machines, but now this has to be the most artistic machine!

£50,000 Tree House for Russian Boy

2009-04-25T14:38:00.000-07:00

The Treehouse Company which is located on Oundle Road, Weldon, U.K has designed a tree house that costs £50,000. The Northants comapny has made sure the tree house comes with all the luxuries one could imagine in a tree house.

It is well known that children usually dream of a secret place where they can spend sometime away from the prying eyes of adults. This tree house has been designed for a 10 year old Russian boy and it would be shipped to Moscow in just about a month. The tree house would be installed in the boy’s woodland grove next to his family’s castle.

The tree house includes a stained glass window, zip line, a pulley that can hold 500 kgs and many other things that even adults cant dream of ever in their insignificant lives. I would say, this boy will grow up to be a self indulgent kid that would think the world is created for him to enjoy. Well, it is still a nice idea to build something nice for your kid, and if you can afford, do contact the company!
