Check out the video below. I think it's a pretty significant feature that I'll be using a lot.

Nothing makes you wanna go out and grab the latest portable cassette tape recorder like a celebrity in a Sombrero and a holster. I'm guessing this print ad is from the 1970s.

Simple and relevant best known as the leading editing software company. Conceptual design at it's best. Great work, Brand Union.

An electric car that was just announced by Chrysler. The specs seem to be more like a suped up golf cart than a real car but you can't help but smile at it... as it smiles back at you.

I've always wondered why waves weren't used to good use. This seems to give a lot of clean energy to a lot more areas. Nice.
One of the Holy Grails of green power is hydroelectricity, and we've certainly seen our fair share of research in that department. The newest guy on the scene is called Oyster, a collaborative effort between Queen's University in Belfast and Aquamarine Power Limited that sees something called an Oscillating Wave Surge Converter placed offshore (in depths around 10-12 meters). When moved by waves, the device's double acting pistons push seawater ashore via high pressure flow lines, where it is converted to power using tried and true hydroelectric generators. Since the hydroelectric plant is located onshore, it is accessible for maintenance 24-7. According to the company, peak power should be around 300-600 kw, depending on the unit's configuration and location. The first prototype is to be deployed off the coast of Orkney this summer, where we'll see if it can transform high tides and abnormal weather patterns into juice for your Xbox. One more pic for you after the break.

When I was a child, it was a dream to live in a house that rotated. Perhaps, it can still become true?
Rotating Architecture: 16 Sweet Spinning Structures: "
Architects have always aimed towards building bigger, wider and higher (and, recently, more sustainable as well). Now technology has made a fourth design dimension possible: movement. These 15 amazing structures shift their shapes, put a new spin on style!

I've always thought of collecting them. But creating a framed piece of art out of drawings is a great idea.

Science meets art in this compelling project where artist Daniel A. Becker creates gene code as graphic sequences.
Click on the link here to see letters turn into beautiful organic tapestries, as seen below.
First, you see the corresponding DNA linked to the graphics...
Then the letters turn into graphics that then creates this mosaic. In this case, this pattern was created by the DNA of the White Shark
