The Man-The Movies-The Legend

cwThis guy is by far on my top 5 list. Is Christopher Walken from Mars? He must be. How else can you explain his incredible range of talents and experiences? He has worked as a lion tamer, he has danced in music videos for Madonna, Duran Duran, and Fatboy Slim, and he has appeared in 100+ films for some of Hollywood’s hottest directors, including Quentin Tarantino, Steven Spielberg, Woody Allen, David Cronenberg, and Tim Burton. He is the most popular guest host in the history of “Saturday Night Live”. He is the only actor to play a Bond villain and a Batman villain. He was handed his high school diploma by Gypsy Rose Lee. He was on a houseboat with Natalie Wood on the night she mysteriously drowned. He has appeared in some of the worst films of all time – everything from “Kangaroo Jack” to “Mousehunt to Gigli” – and yet his popularity never wanes.No wonder Christopher Walken has attracted an enormous cult following. Now his fans can learn about the wide world of Walken in Christopher Walken A to Z, the first-ever biography of the most fascinating man in show business, arranged in a fun, breezy A-to-Z format. With entries on everything from Actors Studio (the famous theatre workshop where Walken worked as a janitor) to zombie movies (one of his favourite movie genres), “Christopher Walken A to Z” is a trippy salute to the world’s most endearing and enduring celebrity.

Sponge Business CardsThey’re flat business cards, and when you put them in water, they turn into a sponge!
No really I’m serious!

Your name and contact info will be laser-cut into compressed sponge, which you can give out to special people. Or people you think are dirty. Whichever.

I’ll blaze my own path… So what if its a bike path.. Doesnt make me any less.

Light LaneA close brush with a distracted driver is enough to intimidate any avid bicycler from riding at night. You’ve probably seen small blinkers and flashers tucked just below the seat but that isn’t enough. As a daily driver in a very bike friendly city, I can attest I usually don’t notice those blinkers until I’m within a few hundred yards of the bicycler. That leaves very little distance and time to react if I were to collide with them.

Only a small fraction of streets have dedicated bike lanes, and with an installation cost of $5,000 – $50,000 per mile, we shouldn’t expect to find them everywhere anytime soon. LightLane projects a crisply defined virtual bike lane onto pavement, using a laser, providing the driver with a familiar boundary to avoid. With a wider margin of safety, bikers will regain their confidence to ride at night, making the bike a more viable commuting alternative. I want one now. Evan and Alex, make it and call me!

Feeling the games people play

0643174500Just found this. Its a 3-D force feedback controller. Not only can you move easily in 3 dimensions but the force feedback lets you ‘feel’ aspects of any supported games. Remember the rumble of your X-Box or PS 1,2,3 that on dimensional ? Well this takes it up to a whole new level how about a controller that articulates back to you textures,  dimensional objects or even the recoil of a gun back to the controller.  Heck check it out at the website.

3lp_with_devicesSo you have a lot of mobile toys. This little magic doo-dad makes it a breeze to keep everything fully charged with out having to mess with a single plug. It uses magnetic induction to transfer power to your mobile whatever’s battery.  All you gotta do is set your device (fitted with the appropriate receiver) ontop of this mat and ‘boom’ its automatically recharging. Cool Right! Well this technology is not limited to your mobile devices. From what I can tell its not immediately available but the vids on the site are cool. How about setting any electrical device (lamp, radio, blender etc.) upon a counter (its built into the surface) without cords and they magically work.  Check it out here.
