The Tesla Model S - an Electric Car for 50K

Meet the Tesla Model S, an Electric Car for a mere 50K. It can go 300 miles on one charge and can charge within 45 minutes. Tesla Motors was founded by Elon Musk, a co-founder of PayPal. There is a 17 inch flat panel on the dashboard for the controls and comes with 3G (net access). You can surf the net or check email while you drive (sounds a bit dangerous to me). Now California may need to add another law in addition to no texting while driving and no talking on the cell phone while driving.

The scratch-proof car

The scratch-proof car. Scientists claim to have created a "self-healing" coating that repairs itself in 30 minutes. Can that be true? I have never tried it myself, but this is something I would love to try out on my car. My car has scratches all over from years of driving around LA. This coating is developed by a scientist at the University of Southern Mississippi, Hattiesburg. This thing is still in the developmental stage and supposedly will be available to the public in around 5 years. I can't wait.

Now that is a weekend house I would like to own. Part of my to-do list when I hit the jack pot :)

Notte Sento

Notte Sento. A girl misses her train to Milan from Rome and has to wait overnight in Rome until the next morning. This is cute short film (with a cute girl). The cool thing about this video is that it is made in stop motion with 4500+ still photographs. Now that is art.

Korean BBQ Tacos - Kogi

Kogi Korean BBQ Tacos, the next big thing in food :) It is all the rage these days. A restaurant on wheels that uses Twitter to spread the gospels. People spend hours in line just to get a bite on these new delicious culinary inventions. These guys are definitely also good in cooking up a tasty dose of viral marketing. They are featured every where from Newsweek, NPR, New York Times, to major LA local stations.

Crazy Blind Date

Crazy Blind Date is an online site offering free "on demand" blind dates. This site is brought to you by the folks at OkCupid.com, a dating site.

Once you are on their system, they will try to set you up with someone who matches the criteria that you have specified (of course, you will also have to match the criteria that your potential date have specified).

FREE Disk Imaging Software - Macrium Reflect

Macrium Reflect is a FREE disk imaging software similar to Norton Ghost. You can image through the network or through USB, FireWire drives. It has a built-in scheduler.

Jaydiohead - FREE Album

Jaydiohead is a FREE album that can be downloaded from the Jaydiohead website. This album is a Jay-Z and Radiohead mash-up by DJ Minty Fresh Beat. For a FREE album, this is not that bad.

Pandora Radio

Pandora is essentially a streaming radio site. The unique thing about Pandora is that they allow you to "create your own radio station". When you sign in they ask you to enter the name of either an artist or the name of a song and from there they have a unique algorithm to present you similar artists or similar music. This is a good place to discover new artists that you may have never even heard of. Another site, imeem, has a feature that is pretty similar to this, but they don't have a "station" feature. This is what makes Pandora unique.

SeeqPod

SeeqPod is a very powerful MP3 search engine. They allow instant playing of the search results. The results also embed links to the MP3s themselves, but you need a little bit of know-how to get to those links. I am sure that there are plenty of instructions online that can show you how.

NIN/JA - FREE Album

The new Dell Adamo is a sexy and slim notebook. The Adamo is a brand just like the Inspiron. This notebook features a beautiful 13.4 inch edge to edge glass display.

The NitroCream - Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream Machine

This is the Nitro-Cream. It is an ice cream maker using liquid nitrogen. Now, that is hardcore! This is the N2-G4. It is not cheap though. It will cost you around $35,000 to get one. Too rich for my blood, but if you got the dough and have nothing to spend on, this little toy can be had for as little as $35,000.

How to build an HDTV antenna using coat hangers

This is a video that shows you how to make an HDTV antenna using coat hangers. There are many HDTV antennas on the market, but a lot of them are not vey usable. I bought one from Walmart and it was a piece of junk. I ended up returning it. I built my HDTV antenna using this video. The reception is surprisingly good. This is an easy do-it-yourself project.

If this could fly

This would be a great piece of furniture for a nomad. Too bad it could not be rolled up.

Fragile!

I am not sure if this is a sofa I would want to sit on. The eggs could be a bit uncomfortable.

Coolest Treehouses

When I grow up, this is a house where I want to live in.


The princess who lives up here probably doesn't want to be rescued. She has more fun living up here.


The treehouse below is actually a restaurant in New Zealand. It is the Yellow Treehouse Restaurant in Auckland, New Zealand.

China is a Beautiful Place

Some places in China are actually very beautiful. The landscapes are magnificent.

This looks like a Chinese painting.

Soccer Really Has Gotten Sexier

This is how they should introduce Soccer to the US. I am sure they will quadruple the audience.

This is a muddy sport.
