Jill Bolte Taylor: My stroke of insight

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

One of this years TED conference highlights was Jill Bolte’s incredibly insightful, curious, inspirational, and whimsical talk about her stroke experience as a neuroanatomist (studying the nervous system including brain) Woa, what a crazy story! A must watch!(18 mins)

“Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened — as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding — she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.”

Imagine the power of AXE. The Axe Effect” (Clinton endorsing Obama)

Jeff Deboer:Cat and Mouse Armor

Jeff Deboer creates these freaking awesome Cat and Mouse Armor suits! I’d love to see Tom&Jerry duke away in these fierce creations, but for now I think this is the closest I’ll get a cat to resemble a Thundercat (hoooo!)

Check out his Cat and Mouse gallery here, and make sure to take a glimpse at his “how to make a samurai cat” section for more pics.

Personally, I’d be running all over the place if a cat had a joust strapped on it’s back… but just maybe, I’d stick cat food on the end and let it chase itself around all day…nah, I’m not that mean ;)

Tons of pics after the jump! Let the battle begin! (more…)


Col-Pop: Soda and nuggets in one cup!

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

col-pop col pop soda nuggets

Col-Pop: The Future of Fast-Food Technology from Adam Kuban on Vimeo.

I’m not a fast food fanatic, but the Col-Pop is one damn great idea. It’s a soda cup with a bowl lid to keep your soda and nuggets in one convenient design. You still have to use your other hand to grab the nuggets, but maybe a tilt into the mouth works. It’s “convenience design” at it’s best ;)

Watch the Video here.

Reminds me a bit of the neat Wine Tapa Plates.
