The Toaster Tree….it’s got fancy transparent leaves that hold your bread, till they are done. Transparent nano-electric membrane technology is what the designer cites in support of the crisping/browning element; I simply adore the thought of a leaf-pattern singed to my toast. Please someone remove the kinks and flaws (in design and tech) to make me a happy Toaster Tree!

Nerds Unite and make a hot chicks calender of their own!
Jon Gibson, just a simple nerd with a simple dream: to make a nude calender that appeal to his fellow nerdy nerds. Starting in 2008 he created totally nerdcore.com and 2 years on it became one of the biggest memorabila-sellers in this years vid-con with they’re super hero theme!

“Well, we’re nerds here at Nerdcore – superheroes are our lifeblood. That’s the easy answer.
But, you know, it’s also about defying expectations. Everyone seemed to think that we were just going to another pinup-style calendar with more retro 80’s videogames. Hell, where’s the challenge in that? Nerdcore was founded on a principle of never doing things that are TOO easy. That said, the 2008 calendar was really, REALLY FUCKING difficult to produce.
We nearly set a garage on fire, almost buried two production assistants under a pile of very heavy drywall, and found ourselves running away from sketchy vagrants in the abandoned train yards in downtown L.A. Aside from that – yeah, it was a breeze. There was also several incidents of ordering far too much stuffed crust pizza from Pizza Hut. You can only eat so much of that shit.
the $100 USB powered blue-ray drive
The new PX-B120U is a USB-powered BD-ROM drive, which not only plays back Blu-ray flicks but also burns DVDs and CDs of the blank variety. The standout feature, of course, is the ability to function entirely off of USB power, with no extra AC cabling needed. Furthermore, the device can be converted into a living room player when connected to the forthcoming PlexMedia, and while I wouldn’t expect a wealth of extras, the $99.99 MSRP is shockingly tempting.
TRON Light Cycle For Sale
The Parker Brothers Choppers in Florida are selling off three working Lightcycle replicas like the ones in the upcoming movie TRON Legacy. If you’ve been dreaming of having your own Lightcycle ever since the first TRON and have the cash for it, better act quickly since there are only three of these babies left.
Each bike will set you back around €27,900 ($35,000) and each unit is custom-built and unique. Even the color is one-of-a-kind since they won’t make a bike the same color as ones already sold. To top it off, these are real, working motorcycles and not just something to sit on and pose for a photo-op.
I doubt buyers will be using these for their daily grocery run but the maker says they are built for street use. Each bike features hubless wheels, neon accents, a fiberglass body and either an electric or gas motor. Check out the link below for more info.

Get your very own satellite in orbit for only $8000
It might not exactly be pocket change, but fr what you get, you’re hardly breaking the bank either. You can now get you’re very own satellight in orbit for a meer $8000!
At $8,000, you can get a DIY satellite and sent into orbit, check out the TubeSat Personal Satellite Kit. Interorbital Systems (IOS) says it can deploy 32 tiny satellites simultaneously from a rocket launched from the Pacific island of Tonga. The price, yes, only $8,000.
“Planet Earth has entered the age of the Personal Satellite with the introduction of Interorbital’s TubeSat Personal Satellite (PS) Kit. The new IOS TubeSat PS Kit is the low-cost alternative to the CubeSat. It has three-quarters of the mass (0.75-kg or 1.65-lb) and volume of a CubeSat, but still offers plenty of room for most experiments or applications. And, best of all, the price of the TubeSat kit actually includes the price of a launch into Low-Earth-Orbit on an IOS NEPTUNE 30 launch vehicle. Since the TubeSats are placed into self-decaying orbits 310 kilometers (192 miles) above the Earth’s surface, they do not contribute to the long-term build-up of orbital debris. After operating for a few months (the exact length of time on orbit is dependent on solar activity), they will safely re-enter the atmosphere and burn-up. TubeSats are designed to be orbit-friendly. Launches are expected to begin in the first quarter of 2011.
A TubeSat is designed to function as a Basic Satellite Bus or as a simple stand-alone satellite. Each TubeSat kit includes the satellite’s structural components, printed circuit board (PCB) Gerber Files, electronic components, solar cells, batteries, transceiver, antennas, microcomputer, and the required programming tools. With these components alone, the builder can construct a satellite that puts out enough power to be picked up on the ground by a hand-held amateur radio receiver. Simple applications include broadcasting a repeating message from orbit or programming the satellite to function as a private orbital amateur radio relay station. These are just two examples. The TubeSat also allows the builder to add his or her own experiment or function to the basic TubeSat Kit. ”

Remaking this song was really interesting as there are so many little touches that together make the beat whole. there wasn’t much space for me to play guitar this time, but there’s quite a lot of singing which got me nervous enough! (singing isn’t for me as you can tell.)
