TechEBlog » The $60,000 iPod Ad

Cool idea, but the “dominoes” got a bit crooked in the middle.

The Consumerist reports on a recent Tekserve advertisement that took over $60,000 in iPod players to make — achieving a “Rube Goldbergian domino effect”. Watch after the jump.

Theresa Honeywell - a photoset on Flickr

I don’t quite get the art of covering objects with knit fabrics, but I can certainly appreciate the work involved.

Theresa Honeywell is tougher than you. Her work reflects her interests in the “manly arts” with a feminine twist. What motorcycle or jackhammer wouldn’t want to be knitted into infamy?

Treehugger: The Power of One Solar Car Project

Cool project. Now if it’s just help me commute to work on the cheap.

Marcelo da Luz isn’t an engineer or a millionaire. He’s a flight attendant from Toronto. But, in keeping with his last name, his dream has been to build a solar car and pilot it across Canada to set a world distance record. After years of work and a shoestring budget, his craft is almost ready.

Gold and Silver Viagra Rings

Very strange. I suppose this is one way to keep your viagra at hand, but I think they are being a bit to literal.

Keep your Viagra securely on hand!

I’m The Decider

Interesting take on the president’s latest stubborn disregard for popular opinion. Last I checked the people were the deciders and Bush was an elected official.

I am me and Rummy’s he, Iraq is free and we are all together
See the world run when Dick shoots his gun, see how I lie
I’m Lying…

Vice President Cheney Sleeps During Chinese President Hu’s Press Conference… | The Huffington Post

What a dick. The Chinese Pesident actually makes an attempt to improve relations between the US and China and Cheney can’t resist taking a nap during the conference. Just another example that the VP isn’t worred about foreign relations unless it strengthens his portfolio.

The NY Times today reported that Chinese officials were outraged over the White House accrediting a reporter who screamed at Mr. Hu from the stands, and mistakenly referring to China by the name of its archrival Taiwan. Adding insult to injury, here’s a picture of Vice President Dick Cheney sleeping during Mr. Hu’s press conference.

BBC NEWS | Americas | Woman to build house out of 747

For some reason I don’t quite see how a 747 looks feminine, but each to their own. At least she’s recycling something.

A California woman is going ahead with the construction of a house made of elements from a 747 Jumbo jet.

Francie Rehwald wanted her house to look “feminine”, have curves and be eco-friendly. Her architect’s answer was: “Let’s use a 747!”

The ghostly salt city beneath Detroit

The ghostly salt city beneath Detroit

I lived there for 4 years and never heard anything about this.

Like a Jules Verne fantasy, a ghostly city with its own network of four lane highways lies deep beneath the industrial heart of Detroit, its crystalline walls glittering and gleaming in the flickering light. It is a world of no night or day.

It is a world of salt.

This gigantic salt mine, 1,200 feet beneath the surface, spreads out over more than 1,400 acres with 50 miles of roads. It lies underneath Dearborn’s Rouge complex , much of Melvindale and the north end of Allen Park. The mine shaft opening is in Detroit.

I didn’t realize that doing shots was such a complex social endeavor.

By hoisting the flag, you’ve volunteered yourself as shot master—it is now your responsibility to guide the ritual to its finish.
