This crazy damn fool, Kevin Richardson, runs a wildlife refuge in South Africa and has become a member of a pack of lions . It is probably the awesomest and stupidest thing I’ve ever seen (and I once saw a friend jump off the top of his parents’ townhouse with a trashbag parachute). Just sayin’, you remember how Grizzly Man ended, don’t you? SPOILER ALERT : As a giant Timmy Treadwell-shaped grizzly turd. But who am I to judge? I’m just a regular guy who bangs dinos. RAWR! YES….YES….EAT ME NOOOOOOOW! Youtube Thanks to Asbo, who was once accepted into a pod of whales but was later rejected when he tried to suckle one’s teat.

Who the hell still rocks those oldschool CRT monitors ? You do? Oh, sorry. Truthfully, I still rock a 21-incher myself. HIYO! Anyway, this is a $230 computer mailbox fabricated out of wood and a traditional mailbox so that some punkass teenagers can come bat the shit out of it. I don’t recommend them. But I do recommend you paying me $100 to make you a modern flatscreen monitor mailbox . Sure it’ll just be an unpainted piece of particleboard with a whole cut in the middle, but what did you expect? Watch your bills just blow away! But not into my yard, I’ll call the cops. Computer Mailbox: You see, grandma? This is how e-mail works [dvice]

So apparently the dual 15.4″ screened gGscreen Spacebook will be released in time for Christmas this year. Also, the elves I’ve been holding hostage. BUT ONLY IF SANTA MEETS MY DEMANDS. The Alaska based company, started by Gordon Stewart (yep, that is where the G in gScreen comes from), is aiming its dual screen laptops at professional designers, filmmakers, photographers and really anyone who can’t live without a dual screen for everyday productivity…The chassis (which we expect is at least 12 pounds) is built around the 15.4 inch screen (though the first units that come to market will have 16-inch or 17-inch screens) and its twin, identically sized screen slides out from behind the first using a uniquely designed sliding mechanism. They will run Windows 7 and be powered by Intel Core 2 Duo processors, 4GB of RAM and high-end Nvidia GF900M GT discrete graphics. The plan is for fast 7,200 RPM hard drives and six or nine-cell batteries….”It is absolutely the opposite of a netbook,” he told us. Yea that is no kidding with a price tag that he is hoping to keep under $3,000. Damn! 30″ of screen real estate, that’s a lot. This thing isn’t even a laptop any more. It’s a muffin top. ZING! GScreen’s Dual-Screen Spacebook Coming Soon(ish) [gizmodo] Thanks to Melissa, Mark and Mike, whose names all begin with the letter M. What? I NOTICE THESE THINGS! Did you get your hair cut? All of them, good one .

Carbon fiber is an amazing material that we see more and more in applications where incredible strength combined light weight really matter. The fact that it also has a super cool high-tech look doesn’t hurt much either. Most of us don’t schlep our desk around the office on a regular basis, so I suspect that it’s this visual aspect rather than its light weight that prompted Turkish designer Can Yalman to use carbon fiber for his Hexa Desk from Nurus. With both its base and desk surface fashioned from the woven composite, it looks like just the thing for a Formula One team owner’s office. No word on the price, but I’m guessing it’s not cheap.

Looking like something Q would give to James Bond for his next adventure, these miniature self-contained robots can move using power from a built in solar cell, while receiving infrared control signals. Three or the tiny legs are used to move the robot, while a fourth is used as a sensor to detect objects and other robots in the swarm. With the addition of a ASIS (application-specific integrated circuit), the developers claim that groups (swarms?) of the I-Swarm can be used for micromanufacturing, medical procedures, cleaning, or surveillance. I’m sure that last possibility will be of interest to Q.

Ever wonder what it’d be like to drive around in a kart that behaved like the ones in Mario Kart ? The sudden boost? Drifting fast around turns? This custom racer with a Honda CBR 900RR motorcycle engine under the hood is just that, and, as dangerous as it looks, the video above makes it out to be some fast, powerful fun. Wear a helmet, kids!

While treehuggers bustle about looking for better ways to gather solar energy or wind power, designer Dmitriy Shcherbakov thinks they’ve overlooked an energy source right in front of them: constantly changing temperature. That’s how he plans to power Greenergy, a music player that also inexplicably contains a heating module and a “personal light” on board. The idea of harnessing energy from slight temperature changes is nothing new — that’s how Atmos clocks work, and they were invented way back in 1928. Those clocks can run for two days on each degree Celsius of temperature change. But if this cool-looking gizmo is going to work, it’s going to need to gin up significant amounts of energy to emit enough heat to warm up even a small room. Dimitriy’s not saying yet how much energy his odd multipurpose design concept can create, so it’s not entirely clear whether this is a viable invention or merely wishful thinking. In any case, his shiny, undulating and unusually architectural design is certainly creative, unlike anything we’ve ever seen, unless you’re talking about a building by Zaha Hadid .
