I almost forgot!!

Have I not said google earth enough?

I really like Yahoo (formerly konfabulator's) Widgets. Sometimes, I don't love them all the time, but they're great.

Google earth, download it, it's a globe for your computer! yayy!!!

oy! Have I not posted in a while!

Ok, so there's a lot to note, and well, I just want to do it all at once! I hope you have a great holiday! Remember to use these free life changing pieces of software! If you don't,, well.
I wish you well and hope you take this simple advice to make things easy on yourself.

First,, Map your mind!! There's this great freeware that totally is awesome.

Freemind just click here!

Come on, have I not espoused the joys of lifehacker enough yet?! (it's a blog, with TONs of great hints every couple hours, just use it!)

Also, if you're not using firefox as your browser yet,, I HATE YOU! Ok, I don't hate you, I just don't know why you're still wasting your own time? Can you answer that to me?

Also PB wiki,, it's your own free wiki, come on!

Gmail, (if you haven't heard, or don't have one yet,, why?)

Of course the folks here at blogger.

Backpack,, again, free, plan your projects, for no cost! How can you say no?!

Trillian, if you chat, just use this, it's all the chat things (AIM, Messenger-MSN and Yahoo, and the other one I can't think of, it's just easy!)

Finally Del.icio.us if you don't like it fine,, no,, not really, but I'll act like it.




The previous are just a few great free things, that you can easily use any day to make yourself more productive. So please do!

BBC NEWS | England | Somerset | Ramp creates power as cars pass

ok, so check the link on this frink (hey, does that rhyme?) Should you care?

Anyway, there's this rather cool energy generating ramp available for 25,000 quid (is a quid is a pound, and a pound is 1.20 dollars or whatever). Anyway, neato ramp,, makes power,, cool.

THat's what color it is you son of a,,,,,

OK,, hang on,,

OH yeah it feels so good to be right!!!!

Can You Feel that?!
Hunh?!

Hoowah!!!!


So here is a link to an article in Sciencedaily that proves what I've been saying my ENTIRE life and NO ONE has believed me!! Colorblind people can see different shades and depths of other colors!!!

Since no one believes us colorblind people that we could be right in any way, we're told that we're always wrong, finally someone has proven that we're not as wrong as everyone says we are and that we can see other shades that "typically color correct" people can see.

Finally I can feel like I'm not as stupid as people always said!!

Now I've got to hurry up and email taunt everyone I ever knew!!

We're going inverted Mav!! (negative index of refraction that is!)

This is so cool! Metamaterials! Check this link to purdue's work on this great new material type.

The simple of it is this, the material has a negative index of refraction. Why is this cool? Everything that can contain light so far (air, water, glass) has a positive index of refraction. This is a material that can be used to contain super small dimensions of light, think burning smaller traces than ever to make microchips (that means that moore's law can be maintained and they can make lower power systems with ever more processing power, and super kick ass lenses for focusing and for awesome telescopes (think super hubble!))

Rock on Purdue!

And for good measure, what the heck are the dutch up to? here's an odd link to micropullers in the Netherlands. Micropullers here meaning, tractor pulls, with remote control cars. Yeah, I know,, cool, and totally bat shit insane.

So cool.

So insane.

Sorry to say, I'm dead

check the link

Today's nuggets of joy (and confusion)

First, the snow show,, coolness in cool. Check the links, all the structures are made of snow and ice,, SO COOL!!!

Second, the game runner,, So hot!!! (hot like that Hilton chick hot!) It's awesome!! Now I can run in HALO!!!

Third, and last for now, a cool pro tools plugin called izotope, that will make any recording sound like it came from vinyl!! So Rad!!!!!

Happy thanksgiving,, oh yeah, and some people in Canada are nuts (guess which ones!)

Hope your wonderful American day of gluttony was great!! (mine involved far too few spices and not really tasting the wonderful chantrelle mushrooms we picked and placed in the stuffing).

Oh yeah, and here's a great article on the demands of one Canadian minister, who wants to communicate with E.T. communities. You know, because they've conquered crime, and war, and all the other things municipalities and countries have to do. I guess you do have to note he's retired. So that's good,, I guess.

Hapy today!

well that's just SUPER!

SUPER MAN!!!

Chia Rocket, grow your own!!!!

They've tested and found lichens to be able to survive the great void of space, and well,, be fine!!

COOOOL!

Now all we have to do is coat a Saturn 5 with the stuff, shoot it up there, gut the inside, bring it some water, spin it up, and we can triple the space station size in a matter of seasons!!

Found me, and I found the great PV!

So here's a pic and a link to the old MSU solar car project,
it's fun to find yourself places!

If you look really hard you can see my head in the solar car!

Thanks to the GREAT PV!!

(he's smarter than you,, and I don't care who you are!)

oh yeah, and just in case you forgot, Voltron is loved by good and feared by evil,, I'm just saying.

Thing of the day!! and more!

Today, I begin,,

THING OF THE DAY!!

Where each day there will be 10 sketches of a regular type thing, in new design stylings.
I won't be posting them for you, (since it'll take too much of my time) but it's a great little exersize tool for my brain/fingers.

oh yeah, and I found a neato hybrid type article from wired.

There be monsters about.

So, umm, found thing, hope I didn't break your mind, but umm, here's all the power rangers monsters, in order,, (I didn't make it, I just found it!)

whey hey!

Here ya go Ross.

Whoa Mo!!!

So I found this in the Communication Arts design annual 46.

It's a company called MO they make awesome binders, folios, and paper. They do some great design, I applaud them!!!
(hint they're cool!)

Oooh!! and I found another I like too!! Lost Luggage!!! Get found! Their stuff rocks!

Solo,,, uhh, not you Han.

So I'm looking at getting into auto racing, seeing as the new Toro Rosso red bull formula 1 team has filled their seats already, I have to start at the bottom (damn!)

So I'm checking out the SCCA autocrossing. Here's the link for first timers!

Rules

Apparently they have loaner helmets, (helmets are the big requirement, no rollbars or anything).

So it's like 30$ to race! (that's the dues).

They make you help out, (you do timing a few times during the race day, if you don't they're mean to you).

Looks like fun! I'll report back if I go!

Cheers!

Fun design links for you today!

Ohh!! Design Council (those brits are good!)

Bombay Saphire has some cool stuff for you to get from their ads!
