Film of the Week : Wall•e

Ive got to admit for a start i was not convinced by Wall•e. I was so wrong, this film is awesome. If you haven’t seen this film just go and watch it.

Pixar paint a bleak and dystopic future, in a lovely colourful way. Some what of a happy anomaly, also for the first half of the film there is almost no talking.

Sandcastles

As it Summer here in the UK, SH thought it would be a good idea to find some of the best sandcastles and sand sculptures from around the world. Here are three for your enjoyment.

Homemade Atomic Reactor

Maybe it's because I have a hangover that feels like a bear is scooping out my brains and aliens are doing intrusive tests on what remains of me but this amuses me somewhat.

A Swedish man, Richard Handl has attempted to create his own nuclear reactor in his own home. He acquired the materials on the internet and said he had hoped he might split an atom. (See one of the images he posted on the web of his efforts below)

The authorities got onto his fiendish plot when he contacted the Swedish radiation authority to check if what he was doing was legal. What is clear is that the police have stopped a supervillain in the making. Holy Macceroni, maybe the police raid was accompanied by some crazy graphics of words like BAM!!! WHAM!!!! SMACK!!!! TWOOOH!!!

We will never know but the whole caper might just as well have involved Roger Moore aggressively seducing the nearest lady whilst making 1970's innuendo to a bald apparently headless man who strokes his bejewlled pussy...cat.

The Gerber Steady : As Advertised by Bear

The Gerber Steady its a tripod with a knife attached, or a knife with a tripod attached, or a ....

Either way despite the practicality and terrifying advertising in the form of Bear Grylls, check out the Gerber site. Frankly I'm amazed they have a "Essential" knives section.

Good idea it may work out, but I'm still scared by the fact someone joined these two items.

Da Feng's Flake

Now we are getting somewhere. Whilst this is essentially impossible it and the BMW GINA are a step in the right direction. Beautiful modular vehicles, my passion for this, TRON has a lot to answer for. Da Feng congratulations sir, a fantastic concept. Whilst the video render is not as good as the concept art, lovely idea, Enjoy.

A robot that can fly like a bird

Is this the beginning will razorbeak be here soon?

TED State "Plenty of robots can fly -- but none can fly like a real bird. That is, until Markus Fischer and his team at Festo built SmartBird, a large, lightweight robot, modeled on a seagull, that flies by flapping its wings."
