Segway x2 Off Road

June 14th, 2007

For some reason I thought Segways were removed from the streets after some people did the usual to a new innovative idea. Tried it out, did something stupid, injured themselves, sued the company and the company went out of business. This video proves the opposite, it looks like Segway has been busy with some very cool new models.

Nemo Morpho Tent

June 14th, 2007

The Nemo Morpho tent uses high pressure air tubes instead of poles to support the structure. This means it can be quickly setup without having to assemble and attach fiberglass or aluminum poles.

I remember having a tent like this 10-15 years ago. It used a bike pump to fill up and took about 5 minutes to blow up. But it started getting small leaks and I ended up wearing the tent by the middle of the night.

Microsoft PhotoSynth Demo

June 5th, 2007

I admit I am becoming less of a Microsoft fan and more of a Google fan. But every now and then Microsoft does come up with something of interest. Here’s a video demo of PhotoSynth.

Google Maps Street View

June 3rd, 2007

Google has added a new feature to their online map application. I love google maps, and think this is a pretty wild way to tour a city I’ve never been to. Google has paid for a van to travel around the city and take photos of every street. They call this new view, Street View. If you are planning to drive to a building in an area where this is available you can actually see what the building looks like before you start driving.

It didn’t take long for the internet community to find the following street view photo. It is a girl getting into a truck and her thong underwear is hanging out.

The Landlord - Will Ferrell

June 3rd, 2007

This video makes me a bit uneasy, but my aunt said she wanted to see it. Somehow they get this kid to sound like she is swearing her head off as she plays the angry landlord. Be prepared to hear a little three year old kid say things like “I want my money now Bit$$!”.
