Here's an article about a flexible video display that Sony is working on. Apparently it is a combination of TFT and electroluminescent display technology. Electroluminescent is a cold light backing which takes very little electricity like you would use on a security vest. Sony is showing off a 2.5 inch flexible prototype display using the technology. Call me when I can actually buy it 5 years from now. I'm putting this one up there with e-ink and the laser laptop keyboard.
Here is a collection of photos by an artist who takes drift wood and makes horses out of a bunch of different pieces. They are surprisingly lifelike looking. They are somewhat of a cross between looking like a real horse, a zombie horse, and a mechanical horse. What really makes them look real is the background setting and pose.
Here's a photo that popped up on Yahoo's most emailed list recently. The photo is of a calf which has two noses. The second nose is in the center top of the first nose and looks more like a snout than a regular cow nose. Apparently the second nose is functional. The article also claims that the nose defect is usually not caused by genetics. So which nuclear power plant or uranium mine are they living next to then?
This guy has a printer setup that writes images on toast using a small blowtorch. It's basically an ink jet printer except that it uses a blowtorch instead. One of a kind toaster.
This demo video from some video game show demonstrates the Havok physics engine with a bunch of different materials. They throw objects through various materials (wood, glass, jelly, metal) and they break up, dent, or bounce back like they would in the real world (no pre-animation).
Here is a funny Nissan commercial from Canada where the salesman keeps changing the name of the car and his own sterotype to be most like the customer.
