Alright, so Modern Met has led me to Yanko. Expect more posts related to stuff I find on both sites in the near future.
If these ever become reality, I’m definitely keeping a couple in the car just in case.
A couple of galleries concerning actions figures and people with too much time of their hands.
Here is another.
I was going to make a series of posts related to the cool designs I found on Yanko, but decided to just lump a bunch together in one post and post others as they interest me.
Starting off, the SoundBulb, a wireless speaker in a light bulb.
Next, the E-Note, basically a digital Post-it you can reuse.
Now here’s something I could really use. That, or less soda, probably the latter. Either way, it is a device that decontaminates soda cans.
Something we all could use, meat freshness labels that change color as the meat stays longer in the package.
For the ultimate traveller, a “third eye” that gives you everything you need to know about what you are looking at in the viewer.
And, the possible future of air travel: a huge airship-looking thing made to carry up to 1,500 passengers.
Look, sir, droids!
What else do I have to say, but hey! robots!.

So, I’ve been on a few cruise ships and have had that moment at sea where I wondered what the hell would happen if the damn thing sprung a leak. Sure, they show you where your escape ship is and all – and yes, I was only in the Caribbean – but that somehow didn’t seem to be enough for me.
That’s why I really, really like this water distilling buoy thingy. If they had these on the ships I have been on, I’d probably had kept one in my cabin or attached to me at all times.
Historical reference: related to that Falcon Henne kid who tricked the news into believing he could ride a glorified party balloon.
Hopefully I can catch the series online or something but this is a good writeup as to why CNN actually produced a relevant piece of reporting.
Maybe they can fire Lou Dobbs, put Larry King out to pasture, fix Alex Castellanos, muzzle Wolf Blitzer and maybe be a reputable news organization again.
