This exists? Swiss Army 2GB + Laser Pointer PEWS

VICTORINOX 59593 Swiss Army 2GB Laser Pointer

This is a $119 VICTORINOX 59593 Swiss Army 2GB Laser Pointer Jump Drive that will kill mad badgers (if your Chuck Norris), store those classified documents, and PEW some laser for a presentation.

Someone really used their noggin on this one.

Also,

look at this $99 Luke Skywalker (Episode VI) Stunt Lightsaber Replica,

The People of the Internet Revolt?

Cool idea, but I was hoping for Aliens to solve all our problems, not some British mom.  Or ‘mum’ as they say in the Outback.

Lucy in the Sky is a Diamond.

The cracker jack squad of astrophysicists over at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics has discovered what they are claiming is a diamond at the center of a white dwarf star [read: failed rock star] that is approximately 2,500 miles across and weighs in at an astronomical 10 billion-trillion-trillion-carats. Here’s a snip of the article from the Daily Galaxy:

…The Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics has announced the discovery of a mass of crystallized carbon formerly known as star BPM 37093, now known as the biggest diamond in the galaxy, fifty light years away from Earth in the constellation Centaurus.

The star, named “Lucy” after the Beatles song, “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,” is estimated to be 2,500 miles across and weighs approximately 10 billion-trillion-trillion-carats – a one, followed by 34 zeros.

This creates a complicated situation for Yours Truly because I just convinced my girlfriend that the ring I bought her was, in fact, the largest and most delicious diamond in the Universe. And she believed me. Until she found the Ring Pop wrapper in my pocket. She had never heard of Ring Pops before.

Parrot AR.Drone Looks Awesome, iPhone controllable.

Hokai, So. It’s the year 2010. 2010! We are officially living in the FUTURE, people. Do you realize that in Robert Zemeckis’ timeless classic Back to the Future part II Doc and Marty travel to the year 2015? A scant five years from NOW. They have flying cars en mass and jackets that, in the presence of water, dry themselves. Now, I’m a doctor, not a physicist, but it seems to me that we are way behind in the area of awesome technologies that set us aside as a futurist society. I won’t get into my disappointment surrounding current hoverboard technology but you’d think we’d have at least created some really cool frickin’ toys by this point. This “quadricopter” looks promising. If they make one of these big enough for me and two Marsian babes to cruise in, then it will feel like the future.

How does your math background influence your designs?
I think maths has inspired me hugely and influenced more geometric designs than I probably would of created otherwise…
