Helix Wind Turbine

Check out this new type of wind turbine that could make getting energy a lot easier for cellphone towers. They will replace power sources to of the grid cell phone towers, that right now are using really expensive off the grid power sources. Supposedly these suckers could pay for themselves in 6 months. On top of that they can receive wind from anywhere and work in high gusts.

This structure is built by a robot that is programed to build patterns that could not be built exactly the same by hand. No human could build this structure as precise.

Break-Fast: Chihuly and Auguste Herbin

I just got back from break-fast at an old family friends which included me eating up a storm and also meeting Dale Chihuly, who if you don't know is the most famous glass blower in the world. I guess my mom is really good friends with his wife and she hasn't really ever told me.



Also the person whose condo i was at has lots of art on display including Auguste Herbin who I am definatly going to look into the next couple of days.

Shadow Physics

This game will blow your mind. You are a shadow and the world you can interact with are shadows created from objects in the game. Watch the video and you will see why. BTW I apologize for the Japanese crowd in the video that shakes annoying noise makers every time they see something amazing.

Yom Kippur Part 2

I just got back from evening services and my rabbi got a little political with healthcare and global warming which was not needed. Though his overall message was thinking about future generations of your family and not yourself.

Julian Schwarz who graduated from Lakeside last year and is on his way to becoming the next Yo Yo Ma was amazing on the Cello. He allways plays a piece towards the end of the service. I got a little emotional and said to him jokingly after the service, "That is the closest a man has ever gotten me to crying."


VERDICT? BEAUTIFUL

Yom Kippur

Tonight at sundown is the start of Yom Kippur, or "yom kipper" as i like to call it. It is the Jewish day of atonement. So in Jewish tradition I am fasting for a day to right all my wrongs. I hope that all of you out there can reflect on the past year even if your not Jewish.

Anyway I hope it will be a good service tonight because our Rabbi is known for "performing" up on the bima (pulpit) with a fucking guitar. why is this wrong?

1)Temple isn't supposed to be a fucking jam session
2)This is like the Pope playing stairway instead of doing his Christmas speech
3)It just makes him look unprofessional

Also one time I went to temple his sermon fucking told me the ending to The Sopranos series conclusion where the screen just goes black. I will tell you what is wrong with this:

1)Why the fuck is my Rabbi talking about a HBO show
2)Now i can't watch the sopranos because i know how it fucking ends

Finally last weekend for the jewish new year he talked about facebook. WTF! I DON"T WANT A FUCKING SOCIAL COMMENTARY ON WEBSITES (thats what engadget does.) I WANT MY FUCKING JUDAISM.

I'm going to be honest though. besides all the negatives he is still a good speaker. He just needs to improve his subject matter

Digital Wallpaper

When I saw this digital wallpaper I was immediately impressed. Strukt Design Studio made this using only a projector. The cool part is they used a program to project the image on multiple planes without distorting the image. This could be very viable to use in a variety of situations:

1)Using this in a store at night would intrigue pedestrians to stop, look, and possibly go to the store the next day. The store would thus get more business
2)Use in some sorta club where you could project all the walls with this to create a unique experience.

Blu

Blu is an artist I am really impressed with. He has a knack for these stop motion films that take for ever to make.

Here is his latest one titled COMBO which is a collaboration between himself and another artist David Ellis:


But by far his original one MUTO (with 5 million hits on youtube) is AMAZING!
