Magnetic Floating Bed

Dutch architects have crafted this futuristic bed which hovers above the ground through a strong magnetic field being produced underneath it. It is a pretty cool looking piece of furniture, but sadly the entire thing costs $1.54 million. Pretty affordable.

They say that its fine for people with piercings to use the bed, but they recommend not to stick anything in the magnetic field between the ground and the bed. I could imagine someone with a piece of metal in their leg like me accidentally getting their leg stuck in the field and getting owned. Not fun I bet. Its a cool concept though!

Great Short Film

It's a foreign and about 10 minutes, but if you have time the animation is quite impressive and its got an interesting storyline.

Girl Wins State Title By Herself, For a Second Time

Bonnie Richardson grew up in a small Texan town of around 600 people. Her graduating class has 14 kids in it, and she is now the first person to achieve back-to-back team state championships...... by herself. I'm not sure what Group in NJ is equivalent to Class A in Texas, but even if it is the smallest this is quite the impressive feat.

Richardson captured first in the long jump (17-04.50), second in the discus (126-09) and first in the high jump (5-8) on Friday for a total of 28 points. Returning to Myers Stadium on the campus of the University of Texas on Saturday, Richardson placed third in the 200 (25.78) and fourth in the 100 (12.51) for a two-day total of 38 points – two points better than second-place Cayuga in Class A.

She will be attending Texas A&M.

Dear Lord This is the Greatest Invention Ever

MonkeyLectric Bike Wheel Lights

Dan Goldwater, a MIT graduate/entrepreneur created his company called MonkeyLectric to mass produce his Bike Wheel Spoke Light array that he envisioned during his time in school. This heavy duty circuit board that is attached to the spokes of your bike and creates patterns with the 16 LED lights that are attached to each side. The results are surprisingly amazing! You can program light patterns and colors using the on-board controls to produce hundreds of different combinations:

Not only are these a great way to pimp out your bike to a ridiculous measure, but they are so bright that they act as lights so that you can easily be spotted at night while riding. Cool Shit. And its only 60 bucks.

If you want you can shell out around $2000 and get their new Video Pro m464q high end bike wheel display which produces some amazing images on your wheels:

Pooktre Tree Shaping

An Australian man by the name of Peter Cook has recently become an internet phenomenon due to his skills in the rare art of tree shaping. Him and his partner, Becky Northey, have created a new method for tree shaping that they call Pooktre Tree Shaping, and its results are stunning:
You can check out the rest of their work on their website's gallery HERE. That chair is one of the coolest things I have seen in a while.

The Bandwidth of a Dick

1. The human cell contains 75 MB of genetic information
2. A sperm 37.5 MB.
3. In a milliliter, we have 100 million sperms.
4. On average, one ejaculation releases 2.25 ml in 5 seconds.
Using basic math we can compute the bandwidth of the human male penis as:
(37.5MB x 100M x 2.25)/5 = (37,500,000 bytes/sperm x 100,000,000 sperm/ml x 2.25 ml) / 5 seconds = 1,687,500,000,000,000 bytes/sec = 1,687.5 TeraBytes/sec


I am getting 15 Mb/s at home from Verizon. The human body is the most ridiculous system ever. We have a long way to go in the field of data storage and delivery. All we have to do is find out how to store data in a sperm and then we can pump semen around the world. It will be the new FiOS!

Saddam Hussein's Gun Collection

9 Photos from an unknown origin were recently posted on Flickr showing some magnificent firearms that had been owned by Saddam Hussein during his regime over Iraq. The poster claims that the images have been circulating around the Arab world for a while now. Saddam lived the life before he was caught. He had an entire country's worth of money to spend on himself and boy did he spend a lot. He purchased everything from these extremely expensive Golden Guns, to his 34 million dollar yacht. Check out all of the pictures of these fancy weapons HERE.

The Hand in Hand Clock

Designer Johan Bisse Mattsson recently released his latest creation which he calls the Hand in Hand Clock. The pivots of each hand are placed at the end of the next larger one. Initially you have to think for a bit to get the actual time from it, but eventually it becomes intuitive. I really like things like this that are peculiar yet useful.

The clock reads around 3:50 in this screenshot

You can check out the Flash version of the clock HERE.

Hey, Cameron. You realize if we played by the rules right now we'd be in gym?

Everyone has seen Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Definitely one of my favorite comedies ever, and it was made in 1986 which proves its great longevity. Remember Cameron's beautiful house? Here is how Ferris described it:

"The place is like a museum. It's very beautiful and very cold, and you're not allowed to touch anything."
Well that house is actually named the Ben Rose Home, located in Highland Park, IL, and it has just been put on the market. The price requested is a measly $2.3 Million. You can check out more pictures and info HERE on realtor.com.
