Robots are becoming more advanced and soon we will most likely have something close to Rosie (Jetsons) invading our homes as common as computers. The more we see their capabilities the stranger it will seem incorporating them within our lives. This video of a Japanese robot with life-like movements that most humans can not do, such as slick dance and aerobatic moves only intensifies the yearning for wanting one. Until they are available for mass production all we can do is watch with envy.
IMHO The one thing that is missing from this video is a dubstep soundtrack.
Every year, people pour into Arcadia, CA, the day after Christmas to be part of one of the most exciting days in horse racing: Opening Day at Santa Anita Park. This year, the 75th winter season opens to an added bonus that fits perfectly with the times. In an era when smartphones are able to do just about anything we want, they will be gaining a new attribute at Santa Anita – the ability to place wagers from the seats.
Visitors connected to the Santa Anita Park WiFi will be able to research races and place bets without waiting in line as the park is launching their new mobile app. The sheer convenience alone is enticing, but there is more to it. Horse wagering is serious business; there’s always luck involved, but having the information in hand and the time to put it all together adds to the allure of the app.
There are WAY too many puns that could be applied here. Rather than getting too cheesy, let’s just take it for what it is. It’s an ice tray that makes ice cubes shaped like AK-47 Read On »
Many times throughout our lives people ask the age old question “What Would You Buy If You Were Rich?” I could say I would be responsible and make sure that everyone and their grandma would not have any debt, would drive a fast car and live in a mansion, but I would be a liar. I would want the coolest gadgets, geektastic toys and downright crazy stuff to adorn MY mansion with, so here are my top 6 things I would buy if I was rich. (Hey, at least I am honest!)
Ahem.
1.Customizable Shark Seabreacher
Yep. That’s right, if I was rich I wouldn’t buy a yacht or a cruise ship, I would buy a custom made Seabreacher and have it look like a shark. This baby can submerge underwater and launch up in the air at high speeds. Some of their high tech features include; a snorkel mounted video camera that transmits live video to LCD screens for the pilot and passenger during dives, GPS navigation, and on board stereo system with iPod docking. Starting Price: $ 81,000 USD.
Made by the same folks who created Pac-Man, Namco, the 30th Anniversary is built with the 1980 cabinets that are reminiscent of those days. If I was rich, I would put this bad boy in my newly designed man cave and drool over its 19″ LCD monitor that captures the vintage graphics, customize its look with the removable decals and deactivated coin doors. While dancing to the sounds of “Wocka, Wocka, Wocka” and spend my days playing Pac-Man and the 12 other vintage games that come included. Price: $3,500 CAD.
Every room would have one of these terrific DOC XL sofa bunk beds, for the night’s we party too hard or for family and friends to crash on, if I was rich of course. Besides, I don’t know why we give up on bunk beds just cause we grow up. Price: $5400 USD.
Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction, alternate history, and speculative fiction that gained notoriety during the 1980’s and early 1990’s. The name is derived from “cyberpunk” in the 1980’s regarding science fiction and coined by the science fiction author, J.W. Jeter, who was trying to describe various Victorian science-fiction works, having the term used in a number of entertaining trends, such as stories, video games and fashion.
In the Art/Fashion world, Steampunk is a pseudo-Victorian mechanical style using materials such as polished brass, iron, wood, and leather with artistry and essentials coinciding with the Victorian era. They are eccentric pieces of art that expanded popularity within Goth, punks, cybergoths, industrial music fans and gaming communities, that is a continuous movement towards instituting Steampunk as a culture and lifestyle.
