These people walked in the shape of infinity for 5 days to carve a path into the ground.  Seems like a waste of time to me, considering that fire and gasoline would have resulted in the same thing, in less time, and soooo much more fun.

The guy over at Sentex has made the most amazingly awesome marble machine, completly on his own!
He experimented with lots of different ways to use the gears and such.  In the end, it looks awesome, could use a coat or two of polyurethane if it were me, but otherwise its awesome.  Video and another photo [...]

This downtime was unplanned, my house lost power due to the huge ammounts of rain that came down over the weekend, and there was 3-5 inches water in our basement, so no one was able to get to the server to fix it till recently.
 
stupid weather…

Here’s another thing that follows the same general idea as the Flying power from last week.  This time they are using lighter then air helium to raise the blimp to over 330 meters above the ground.  Like the other ones, it transfers its power to the ground via cables (come on science, invent wireless electricity [...]

This is an awesome lamp i think, i like it, it weren’t $99 i’d probably get it.
And it’s offical name is DRWAYF UFO Lamp, which stands for: “Don’t Run we are Your Friends”

Well, as you no doubt can tell, we havent been updating much at all this week.
That is mostly my fault (simply because i’m the only one who posts, chris, rarely, ams, not so much anymore).
And, i have a perfectly good reason for it.
The past week i have been trying to install osx86 onto my computer, [...]

So we were down for most of yesterday, and it’s a combination of reasons.
Con-Ed decided to turn the electricity off to my house for 5 minutes, so the server turrned off, then when i tried to get my parents to turn it back on, the power supply simply stopped working.  Finally after my dad went [...]

China must have some sort of Mr. Fusion or something to that matter, because unrecycling something just doesn’t seem to work in my mind.

Ok, so, this is going to be a long, and personalish post. Now, this blog is only mostly not personal, but this story is just something i/we can’t and won’t let go away, and for that reason, i/we are telling it now. Because of various things that have happened, we had to wait until now [...]

This is a very interesting design concept.  The theory is that wind speeds are much faster 10km above the ground, so there will be a series of flying stations with rotors on it generating electricity.  The electricity would be transfered to the ground via cabels.  Its estimated that it could bring the price of electricity [...]
