Giant Ship For Whale Watching

I still feel bad for posting about “Nuking the Whales” earlier so..

“Celebrity PhA Floating Instrument Platform (FLIP) ship is a floating instrument platform and manned research vessel that is 355 feet long. The FLIP has been widely used to study the acoustics of whales and other marine mammals, the effects of seismic waves on the water, and heat exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean. It works by being towed out to sea and having one end submerged. The instruments and crew are located in a portion of the ship that remains above the surface of the ocean.”

Best PC Bare Bone? The Ultimate PC

These are a couple of LAME pc mods above just to grab your attention.  This post is Really about “The Monster Barebone List.”

I was perusing Amazon when I came across - A $364,000 Monster Barebone System(+), Part 1

Some of the products include -

“Air HD” (BV-2500) Wireless HD Video Transmitter and Receiver Kits + “CinemaTube” Full 1080P HD Networkable Media Player/Streamer

Intel Core i7 975 Extreme Edition 3.33GHz 8M L3 Cache LGA1366 Desktop Processor

Klipsch Reference Series RF-83 Home Theater Speaker System

The list author says:

“This list, as you see, goes for $363,971(+/-).
This list contains a system, with many components and peripherals, revolving around “The Monster Barebone”.
This is a fantasy(Gaming, Entertainment, Mult-Media, Movie/Video/Photo/Music Production) list, not a wish list or an actually owned list. Unless, by chance, I win the lottery… and I don’t even buy lottery tickets.
I put the products’ website urls to most of the items because it may help better understand each product.
Because the max. # of items per list is 40, I will be continuously adding to this list, so check out “A $364,000 Monster Barebone System(+), Part 2″.

Check it out here

Needless to say if anyone actually put this all together it would result in:

… without the Whales part, DUH!  I don’t have anything against whales…  But I must say my favorite animal is the Penquin. mostly because they are so noble and technologically advanced

Bloom Box may be Awesome

Watch CBS News Videos Online

“Silicon Valley doesn’t just produce innovative web companies — it’s also a mecca for the green tech boom. Bloom Energy, which launches officially on Wednesday, has built a refrigerator-sized box that can power your whole house.

Bloom Energy has actually been operating for 8 years, raising $400 million in funding from VCs including Kleiner Perkins (investors in Netscape, Amazon, Google and others). Its “Bloom Box” houses fuel cells that run on oxygen plus natural gas, landfill gas, bio-gas or even solar.

The company’s first customer was Google, which has been powering a datacenter on 4 Bloom Boxes for 18 months. Google’s boxes run on natural gas. eBay is also a customer — the company has 5 Bloom Boxes in San Jose, which it says have saved $100,000 in energy costs over 9 months.

The Bloom Box got its first TV appearance on CBS’ 60 Minutes tonight, which will no doubt drive interest in the launch. Look out for more news on Wednesday.

What do you think? Could Bloom Boxes power the future?”

Philips Design Probe-Biosphere Farming for all your Gardening needs

philips biotower

Holy Awesome!  I want one NOW!

“This kitchen skyscraper’s concept development is to explore the possibility of growing at least part of one’s daily calorific requirement at home, as explained by Philips. Using the synergies between fish, plants, vegetables and algae, the Biosphere home farm has been designed to stand up right, not only to minimize the amount of floor space required (great for small apartments or tiny kitchens) but to also enable the stacking of the various mini eco-systems to ease the flow of nutrients from one level to the next. Not only will this mini-at-home-farming system produce natural foods such as lettuce, cucumbers, spices and shellfish, the ability for it to operate without electricity using only water, organic waste and the sun’s energy to power up should also bring much appeal.”

Beautiful Painted Films

Jeffery Noyes Scher was born in 1954 and graduated from Bard College in 1976. He has since then made well over one hundred films, mixing both painting, typography, graphic elements and film to create beautifully vibrant and emotionally charged works. Scher draws inspiration from everyday life, he is a poetic observer, a modern day Baudelaire enjoying the limitless boundaries of experimentation. To watch his films, is to engage in a moment of pure emotion and a visual spectacle that has you eager to repeat.

“In March of 2007 former child star turned born-again fundamentalist Christian Creationist Kirk Cameron went on ABC’s Nightline to refute the theory of evolution using a rather unique hypothesis: Because there is no Crocoduck, God exists.”

“I paint astronauts and, sometimes, dinosaurs.

Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey was released in 1968, which was about 8 years before I was born, so I have no firsthand knowledge of how it was received. I do not know if people genuinely believed we’d be living in space in 2001. If we’d have robot butlers and flying cars, geodesic lunar homes with sustainable gardens, and genetically reconstituted dinosaurs helping or eating the human population. But from Lost in Space to the Jetsons to Jurassic Park, it seems that popular culture craved and fomented this space-age perception of the future. Generations raised on these programs, movies, comic books, and novels are now grown and living in a future filled with mini vans, Starbucks, iMacs, and Hip Hop videos. In many ways, the year 2001, like 1984 before it, failed to live up to expectations. In hindsight, these expectations appear almost comical. And yet the world today is strange and unusual in ways unimagined in 1957, when Sputnik was launched, or in 1968, when 2001 was released, or even in 1990 at the dawn of the world wide web. The present is in fact a very unusual place, and it’s strangest in the ubiquity of things we take for granted.

The astronaut in my paintings is simply here to explore the present.”
