The Push series from Element Skateboards takes skateboard design to the next level.
Featuring carbon fiber and featherlight helium, Push Construction is handcrafted from the most technologically advanced materials available for “the best choice in high impact skateboarding”.
The design is made up of a layer of layer of wood with holes that are filled with helium and then sandwiched between more wood and then covered in carbon fiber for durability. The end result is a board that is lighter but also stronger than any other board on the market.
Have you ever wanted to go into space? (Is there anyone that hasn’t?)
If you have a passion for space, and would like to share your enthusiasm with others, then the National Space Society and Virgin Galactic would like to make you a Space Ambassador, and one lucky space ambassador will even get a chance to fly into space aboard a Virgin Galactic space flight.
As a Space Ambassador, you will be trained to deliver an inspirational, multi-media presentation that describes the importance of space in our daily lives, as well as the promise and possibilities that future space endeavors will enable.
If this sounds like a kick ass idea to you, then head on over to the National Space Society website and register for the NSS Space Ambassador Program before it’s too late, because space isn’t going to wait around forever you know.
There’s not much to say about Al, except that his life is pretty boring. He goes to work, listens to talk radio, then comes home and listens to talk radio. He’s a compulsive note taker, constantly logging in the minutiae of his life in a little brown book. Also, he possesses the uncanny ability to fix just about anything that’s broken.
Then one day, Al’s life turns upside down when he’s kidnapped by a masked vigilante after an unusual day in his otherwise mundane life.
New chapters debut each and every Monday, and if web is going to become the future of entertainment, I think this is a good start.
The Uno is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.
By using gyroscope technology similar to the Segway, it balances on two wheels that sit right next to each other. The Uno goes forward when you push your body weight forward, and backwards when you push your body weight backward. The further you lean, the more the Uno tilts, and the faster it accelerates.
Apparently it’s so simple to operate that there are no controls except for an on-off switch. The gyro tells the ECU how much to accelerate automatically, and the proper amount of power is delivered to the wheels through electric motors, one for each wheel.
The body and frame are both custom designed, with a Yamaha R1 serving as the starting point. After prepping the frame, the molding took just six weeks to complete.
And if that’s not enough for you, then keep in mind that the entire thing was designed by Ben J. Poss Gulak, an 18-year-old who taught himself CAD on a home computer using Google’s free SketchUp tool to create the initial idea.
The Nimbus Cloud Computer “works like a PC” only it’s “better than a PC” because it’s free. Instead of paying for the Nimbus, you simply allow them to show you an ad while using the computer, and it pays for itself. If you don’t want the ad, you can also pay a monthly fee to use the Nimbus ad free, but where’s the fun in that?
A Cloud Computer is a re-imagination of the idea of a computer. We think that an ordinary computer is too expensive, too complicated, and too much for what most people want to use a computer for. What we did is put all of the costly and complicated pieces of hardware and software into our data centers. You then use a smaller, simpler, much less expensive device that’s always connected to the internet to control your computer. We think this is a much better way for you to do just what you want with a computer.
The computer comes with a keyboard and mouse, and you simply provide a monitor and Internet access, and you’re on your way.
As the “ultimate mark of distinction” for a company, a lot of thought goes into logo design. It must be unique yet familiar, and at the same time somewhat timeless.
Because of the temporal nature of logos, there are often trends in logo design that many companies follow as they go through the rebranding process.
For a glimpse of what the future holds in logo design, check out LogoOrange’s list of 10 Trends That Will Define Logo Design In 2008.
By using the Wiimote/Sensor Bar combination (only reversed) with a specially designed program that he created, Johnny has turned the Wii a low cost Virtual Reality display that even looks believable on YouTube.
