Wear a WineRack for Bigger Boobs and Discreet Wine Sips!
The WineRack is a great boob-enhancer/drink-stash that you will need the next time you go to that expensive club and you don’t want to pay for every drink.
This comfortable sports-style bra contains a special hooter-enhancing polyurethane bladder that can be filled with your drink of choice. Simply slip it on, fill up with wine or whatever and wear it under your regular clothes. You can then indulge in a spot of stealth drinking via the WineRack’s adjustable drinking tube. With a rack like this, girls’ nights out will never be the same again. As for boys’ nights out, well, the mind boggles.
Isiah Johnson of Chevy Chase, Maryland, was busted by a GPS equipped turtle, who is obviously good at finding his own stash to eat. (or do turtles smoke too?)
Too bad he isn’t a medical marijuana card holder living in San Francisco (he’d have been legally allowed to grow like 5-10 plants), he is stuck with Maryland’s gay laws and probably head to jail or probation at the least.
A Chevy Chase resident was arrested last week in connection with a marijuana field growing in Rock Creek Park south of the Maryland line.
Isiah Johnson, 19, a resident of the 2300 block of Washington Avenue, was charged July 30 with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute after United States Park Police discovered 10 marijuana plants growing in a remote part of the park.
Here’s some leaked pics of what the Nike+ would look like working with the iPhone. You do have to admit iPhone is useless for fast internet browsing on the go but it may proved to be a very good tool for running around like crazy and graphing out how you ran.
the biggest improvement over the old Nike system may be Google Maps support:
We don’t know just how robust the Nike+ maps support will be, but mapping routes directly on the iPhone could make for more organized training sessions. If only we had the coordination to use the iPhone’s touch interface while running.
Solar Powered Necktie is Poorly Designed for Geeks-Only
In todays’ world, a company should make things that are useful with a usable design. In the case with this Solar Powered Necktie, we feel it’s been very poorly designed so no one would buy one.
Regardless, we do like the idea that you can charge your iPhone while walking down the street looking like an idiot.
Who knows, maybe no one will notice it though.
Now a group of researchers at Iowa State University have created a necktie using newly developed solar fabrics. The neat thing, is that the tiny solar panels are arranged in a grid that looks kind of like what you might see on a tie anyway. There’s even a pocket sewn into the back where you can stash the device you’re charging.
Here’s a great demonstration of a levitating magnet with 2 high-speed rotating cylinders.
Maybe someone can take this idea further and make us some hoverboards please!
While working on science museum exhibits in 1990 I came up with the above idea: it is known that a spinning metal disk will lift and fling a strong magnet. Therefore, metal rods with opposite spin will lift a magnet but WON?T fling it sideways. It works! I used “sched-80″ heavy wall copper tubes about 1-3/8″ diameter, 12″ long, with 1/4″ wall thickness. I hammered aluminum plugs into the tubes, carved shaft-tips with a lathe, built endblocks and bearings, spun them with an AC/DC motor, and managed to levitate a stack of two 3/4″ diameter neodymium magnets. The spinning tubes must move at about 5000 RPM before the magnet starts floating.
First Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport auctioned for $3.19 Million USD!
The very first Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport was auctioned off for $3.19 Million US Dollars in Pebble Beach, California. This thing is probably not worth that much, someone just paid more than what it’s worth.
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif., Aug. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Gooding & Company, the
official auction house of the 58th annual Pebble Beach Concours
d'Elegance(R), captured total sales of $64.2 million including several of
the world's rarest and most spectacular automobiles during its two-night
auction on August 16 and 17. An international crowd of collectors and
spectators were captivated as 140 lots crossed the auction block including
top private collections, vintage racing cars and individual automotive
objets d'art such the 1937 Bugatti Type 57SC Atalante Coupe, which sold for
a stunning $7.92 million -- setting a record for the highest price ever
paid for an automobile at a North American auction.
I have once played golf with one of the executives at AMD and he was telling me that future of computer chips are in organic chips sorta similar to human brain.
Well, here’s one of the first signs of that, a robot controlled by rat brain!
The robot’s biological brain is made up of cultured neurons which are placed onto a multi electrode array (MEA). The MEA is a dish with approximately 60 electrodes which pick up the electrical signals generated by the cells. This is then used to drive the movement of the robot. Every time the robot nears an object, signals are directed to stimulate the brain by means of the electrodes. In response, the brain’s output is used to drive the wheels of the robot, left and right, so that it moves around in an attempt to avoid hitting objects. The robot has no additional control from a human or a computer, its sole means of control is from its own brain.

Used at five-star resort spas, this device provides a full-body water jet massage without getting you wet, and uses aromatherapy, relaxing audio, and video to soothe your tactile, olfactory, auditory, and optical senses. While your head rests comfortably on a headrest outside of the unit, 28 nozzles inside the canopy deliver precise, invigorating streams of water that replicate the principles of shiatsu, or “finger pressure” massage, as they strike the pliable polymer sheet that provides a waterproof barrier between you and the nozzles (allowing use while completely clothed).
As a person who owns both a regular old flatbed scanner separately from the keyboard, I can appreciate the importance of having the scanner closer to the mouse.

For Do-It-Yourselfers, making your onw multi-touch input device has never been easier with the DIY Multi-Touch Kit.
TouchKit is a modular multitouch development kit with the aim to make multitouch readily available in an open source fashion. It is a sister project of the CUBIT multitouch system and aimed at rapid implementation of multitouch projects.
“The workings of a hovercraft are fairly straightforward: one high-power motor with an airplane propeller forces air down through the hole in the center, which pushes the bottom of the hovercraft off the ground. This greatly reduces friction, allowing the hovercraft to scoot around without much trouble. It also makes it much more difficult to control, however: when the hovercraft turns, it will keep traveling in a straight line unless more thrust is applied. Since we are used to controlling cars or boats, the newtonian behavior of a hovercraft is challenging indeed. The body of the hovercraft is made out of styrofoam, cut with a saw and sanded to smooth the edges. The skirt on the bottom is made out of pieces of a plastic GAP bag, attached with Scotch tape and hot glue. The radio control unit was scavenged from an old boat I had, along with the drive motor mounted on the wooden supports, while the lifting motor was from my physics teacher. The battery is 300 mAh 6V NiMH (or NiCd, I forget), and I have a pair of them. They were about $6-$10 each (again, forgot) and about $12 for the 2 1/2 hour charger. The servomotor for steering was from an old RC car I had”
For additional 6X Zoom levels, you can benefit greatly from the iPhone 3G Zoom Lens Telescope.
Install the crystal case first enclosed with the telescope.
Adjust the clear focus with the naked eye.

RoofRay lets you calculate your home?s Solar Power potential!
RoofRay is a site that let’s you calculate your home’s solar power potential using the power of GoogleMaps.
It’s very interesting as the site will caculate the solar power potential based on the roof area and the slope of the roof.
It’s probably pretty accurate as most data is using direct satellite images off GoogleMaps.
The greatest part about this site is that you can find out how much energy you will be able to make with new solar power cells. Then you calculate how much it is to install new solar panels on your roof to see how long it will take you to payoff the panels itself.
The RoofRay site allows you to specify location, size and slope of your roof via Google Maps. It then uses this info to estimate how much energy can be generated from your available exposure.

With everyone in the industry and consumers going green, Samsung has no choice but to follow in people’s footsteps by introducing an Eco-Friendly cellphone made from corn.
Now, I kinda like this concept of making phones from edibles. Will they make some new phones out of milk too? Even better, maybe they can use barley, the same stuff used for making my favorite beverage.
