Doing my part to add to the viral thingy….
Tel Aviv musician Kutiman, who styles himself as a “psychedelic funk architect” has designed and constructed a doozy of a musical mashup. His Internet album Thru You, consisting of remixed youtube music videos completely made out of remixed YouTube footage
Regardless whether you subscribe to AGW and the whole carbon tax weirdness, the Goracle and his crew are sometimes on to something, even if it is the wrong thing. Namely, humans seem to have this unique penchant for not leaving well enough alone, and when we don’t we get this sort of thing.
Apparently up in the Russian arctic circle there is at least one (and likely more) abandoned nuclear powered lighthouse – just how much toxic junk is actually littered around the planet?
Beautiful, creepy [think of how many residents of the gulags died to build this] and forgotten.
In an ideal world where money was a mere detail, I would be a little bit stupid for geeky gadgets. Probably comes from being exposed to lego at an early age. I’m not sure what I would do with a spyball, but I imagine I could have some fun.
With the advent of such cool tech driven ideas such as ultrinsic [below] , it seems I was born about twenty years too late – sigh….
Update: Junior will match the total tally one for one….

I don’t know any amputees, I hope no one I know ever suffers an accident resulting in amputation, but should it happen, Dean Kamen, inventor of the Segway, may have the solution. This guy has been thinking about it for some time and has come up with a very sophisticated prosthetic arm – think bionic man, but instead of remaining as bad 1970s television fiction, it is now within reach, and markets being what they are will likely plummet in cost before long.
Kamen’s arm, dubbed “Luke” (after Skywalker, I assume), is an incredibly sophisticated bit of engineering that’s lightyears ahead of the clamping “claws” that many amputees are forced to use today. The arm is fully articulated, giving the user the same degrees of movement as a natural arm, and is sensitive enough to pick up a piece of paper, a wineglass or even a grape without mishap.
