New Flat Phone

Check out the newest Gillshmack phone - the Samsung M610. Not only does it sounds like the name of a fighter pilot - but it also has a battery that will allow me to use the phone for more than 20 minutes without needing a recharge. It seems pretty nice so far - w/ 'broadband quality' internet connection also. I tried watching some vidoes on it and it seems like a big improvement over the old one. Also cool was Sprint's little tool to migrate my phone book from old phone to new phone - really slick. I'm psyched about the 2 Megapixel camera on this guy too - should make for more interesting blogging in the future :)

Holy Robotic Camel Jockeys!

That's right, the latest invention to catch my eye is the 'Robotic Camel Jockey'. Seeing is believing --> Check out this youtube video of the robotic camel jockey in action.

Here's a Wired article on why robotic camel jockeys are used in Qatar. Turns out that they used to have 4-year old starving Sudanese boys be the camel jockeys, much to the displeasure of human rights activists everywhere. Some Swiss engineering company has put together this robotic replacement for an underfed boy to ride camels in Qatar's camel races that take place in the 120 degree heat. How bizarre!

Thanks, JR!

The Flying Alarm Clock

This is a great idea :) The Flying Alarm Clock.

An alarm clock with a plastic helicopter rotor that flies off when the alarm sounds. To silence the alarm, you have to retrieve the rotor and return it to the base.

I can't wait until i can actaully grab the google earth and spin it like they do in this video. The technology is here now - why don't have have one in my house? Why is this not mainstream yet?

The Elusive Original Idea

As I woke up this morning, I had a great idea. I just realized that I am a semi-knowledgeable expert in geocaching; and it is a very little known sport. Why don't I try and write the 'Geocaching for Dummies' book on the subject? A quick way to make some money on the side, right? Anyway, this idea crashed before take off when I noticed that not only does a 'for dummies' guide exist but also a 'idiot's guide' to geocaching. For me, this just another idea in a long line of a passionate idea that came into being, only to be squashed before any action was ever taken.

It made me realize something. I think that the American culture has thrived in a climate of original ideas, innovation and creativity. I fear that we are reaching the 'bottom of the barrel' when it comes to original ideas that do not require some kind of expert knowledge. The days of the contrutction worker inventing a better mousetrap in his or her spare time have come to a close. Nowadays you need to be a PhD to invent something (idea or otherwise) that has not been done before.

I hope I'm wrong, because if I'm not then this is very sad - and I do not think it can be good for the American culture. Because the next generation of Americans will not have this climate of innovation, they are growing into a climate of distraction. The next generation is born into a world where the cool thing to do is to pour your life force into a one-off reality where video games and artificial point systems determine success or failure as a person. But how can Americans keep innovating if everything has already been done before?

Nike + IPod = High Tech Workout

Check out this new invention that could be cool enough to make some weekend joggers start getting smarter about their workouts. The Nike + IPod Sport Kit takes the music of an iPod Nano and combines it data gathered from input data coming from a sensor installed in a new line of Nike shoes.

So the idea is simple, you use your iPod nano to listen to music while you're running - why can't the iPod be smart enough to log how far you've run, and even send inspirational messages to your headphones to keep you going? Who wouldn't respond to Lance Armstrong yelling in your ear to kick it up a notch?

Another cool feature, the 'power song' - you have one song configured to play whenever you press the center button to power you through that tough hill. The idea sounds super-cool to me, the only downside is that you need both a special pair of shoes from Nike and an iPod Nano (older iPod versions will not work). Bummer. But if I get an iPod nano sometime soon...

Tiniest car... ever!

Ever wanted to cruise down a nanoscopic highway 1/20,000 the width of a human hair? Boy is today ever your lucky day - Read this article about the invention of a nano car! Some scientists at Rice University have developed a 'nano car' with a working engine. When light is shined upon the car 'molecule', there is a particle on the car that begins to turn in one direction. This nano-motor powers the nano car such that it moves off in a straight direction. Pretty wild technology!

Mindball: Game of the Future?

Who's the coolest under pressure? Is that the same person that can keep their alpha waves and theta waves down to a minimum? Even today that question can be answered, enter the latest invention I've encountered: Mindball. The game is simple, there is a metal ball sitting on a table between two players. Each player has a headband that detects that player's brain waves. Whichever player can 'chill out' the most will have the ball roll towards them. Sounds like a pretty sweet game, yours for the price of $20,000. Company: Interactive Productline in Sweeden.

Does a Big Penis Matter? Those exposed to western culture have been conditioned to believe the mindset ‘the bigger the better’ about all sorts of things, from cars to houses to portions in restaurants. This way of thinking extends to penile size as well. Big men are most likely to have slightly bigger penises, although, contrary to popular belief, there is no correlation between the size of a man's nose or feet and the size of his organ. Does it really make any difference when you’re having sex? For Samantha X, it matters – a lot. “Sure it matters – I’ve had some massive members in my time, and I really enjoyed them! I find that the bigger the penis, the greater the feeling.” In fact, a woman who doesn’t prefer a bigger-than-average penis is more of an exception rather than the norm. While men’s penis come in various colors, shapes and sizes, a study conducted by the Alfred C. Kinsey Institute for Sex Research has shown that the average penis size is anywhere from 5-7 inches. Size does not matter - to a certain extent - in order bestow a physical sensation upon a woman. “I once slept with a guy who had a stub for a cock and I couldn’t feel anything. I ended up going into the bathroom and satisfying myself – a situation I don’t care to repeat.” The heart of the matter is that most women don't like very small penises, whatever is done with them. A small, slender penis is not very rewarding in itself and many women complain that they ‘can't feel anything,’ especially if their vagina has previously been stretched by having children. That does not necessarily mean that length-challenged men cannot be good lovers, but that penis size alone probably is not going to do it. Research has confirmed that what most women want is a bigger-than-average penis, but what is really important is width rather than length. They say the ideal penis is one which is thick enough to stretch the woman’s vaginal opening and which can be felt inside their body, each time they have sex. “I would rather sleep with a guy who has a thick member than someone with a thin, reedy schlong that hits my cervix every time he penetrates me.” Similarly, most of the 200 women interviewed representing all ages (over 18), sizes, ethnicities, and sexual habits opted for girth (or the circumference) over length, as they claimed to enjoy the feeling of a thick penis rubbing against their vaginal walls rather than having an unusually long penis poking against their insides. When it comes to racial preferences, Samantha had this to say: “I’ve noticed that African-Americans are really well-endowed as compared to other nationalities. They also seem to be much more confident in bed knowing that they have the right size package.” One’s ethnic group does produce significant anatomical differences among males. For instance, black men are indeed bigger than Caucasian men, but only by half an inch or so, on average, while Asian men are about half an inch smaller on average. All these information just show that women are turned on and satisfied by a large, thick, and powerful penis, not to mention they are visually stimulating as well. Women such as Samantha know how to appreciate well-endowed men, or even those just think they are, since they are usually much more sexually confident about their sack skills.

Natural Male Enhancement Exercises Powered by PenisHealth™ - posted by pedro - 3/4/2008 06:24:27
Natural Male Enhancement Exercises Powered by PenisHealth™ Natural Penis Enlargement Program Powered by PenisHealth™ PenisHealth™ is the only natural male enhancement system which is currently undergoing a clinical study based just on its own exercises. Lativio are very proud that we will be the only company in the world to have a clinically proven penis enlargement solution that does not require anything other than access to a PC or DVD player. PenisHealth™ came to the internet in April 2001, at that time the market was still starting to take shape, and PenisHealth™ managed to offer many important additional features which could not be found on other web sites. The main reason why PenisHealth™ has been so successful was the inclusion of instructional "workout style" videos which help clients perform the needed exercises. PenisHealth™ was the first program to commission this type of content and before this everything was just text based. Over the 5-6 years since its launch PenisHealth™ has risen to the top, with content updates and new content, PenisHealth™ is now considered by many to be the best male enhancement exercise program on the internet. PenisHealth™ has sold over 50,000 memberships and has reported up to 1,000 people using the program at any one time. In the time PenisHealth™ has been online it has helped thousands of people, many reporting good gains in penis size. One of the biggest challenges that Lativio face is trying to prove to skeptical people that this solution works, we all know how hard it is to change someone's belief about something even if it's wrong. The first step in proving the results past customers have achieved will be taken via the new clinical study, which is being conducted as we speak. We believe that when these results are published in medical journals and international media, it will only be a matter of time before people understand the possible results PenisHealth™ can supply. PenisHealth™ is an all natural exercise program, it can eliminate the need for potentially hazardous surgery, as surgery has massive long term implications and is still very unsafe. Another reason why PenisHealth™ might be preferred to other methods could be because it only takes 20-40 minutes per day. The only other clinically proven penis enlargement methods are medical stretching devices, such as the SizeGenetics™ unit. Stretching devices work using the same principle as the exercise program, however they require a commitment of 6-8 hours per day. There are no other proven methods of long term male enhancement, this is why we feel PenisHealth™ is the number one chosen by many men. Visit the PenisHealth™ website >>

Beloved Austin Treasure THUMPed

Lance Holy crap I'll wear whatever Lance Armstrong wears, he's the king of Austin. If you can tear your eyes away from Lance, check out his shades -- Oakley Thump -- a new invention from Oakley. They've taken the music out of the iPod and squished it into flash memory in the frames of a pair of sunglasses. Something tells me you will not be able to find these for 3 bucks across the Mexican border...

Despite the fact that 99% of the population does not look like the sunglass models on Oakley website (check out their promo shots) -- they seem pretty cool. There's a high-speed USB connection to upload music one side and the volume controls, next/prev buttons are all on the other sunglass 'stem'. I have to wonder how heavy these get after very long, but I'm sure it be fun joggin with these on. Software is supported on both the PC and the Mac.
