USB rechargables

Mark sends a neat idea through: you can get rechargeable batteries with an inbuilt USB plug. Not ideal for home, where I can easily be charging six batteries at a time, but a nice idea for the office.

CLG unjunked

Funny to see one of our clients the Junk Charts. Not sure the revamped version makes enough of the data in the two charts shown – there’s different percentage items on the left hand side and the right.

BigDog

Owen sends over a link to the BigDog robot – a pack mule for the US Army. Quite incredible robotics to keep it standing despite being kicked over, or on ice. If this is public, just think what is going on behind closed doors…

Trunk cam

I love the idea of a trunk cam – some amazing shots of curious animals.

Anxious?

I like the idea of Just Enough Anxiety. We have a little too much, I fear.

War against Scientology

Interesting distributed “war” against Scientology and specific comments on how it works: just imagine if people were building these sort of networks for terrorism (and let’s assume they are)?

Ah the mid-west

Terrible about the floods and deaths, but this quote made me laugh (and restored my faith in my ignorant stereotypes).“There are a lot of stupid people. When that sign says ‘Road closed, high water’, that’s what it means.”
