Solowheel
"A next-gen Segway in unicycle form
Like a stripped-down Segway, Inventist's new Solowheel is geared for the mobile urbanite. The "self-balancing electric unicycle" operates through gyroscopic technology, which a 1000-watt rechargeable lithium-ion battery powers. On a full charge (which takes about 45 minutes), the Solowheel lasts two hours—but the battery actually recaptures energy when going downhill.
Weighing only 20 pounds and consisting of little more than a simple wheel with a fold-up foot platform on either side, you can easily throw it in your backpack or briefcase once you reach your destination, or carry it by its convenient handle."

Case Study Houses : arts & architecture
"Case Study House #24 by Quincy Jones and Frederick Emmons. This was one of my favorite homes from the program, a modern ranch, but partially under ground, partially behind bermed walls, full of courtyards, and glass walls with complete privacy. The plan also had an adaption for a small professional office at the front of the house, which if combined with the adjacent scullery kitchen could become a tiny studio apartment. To me it was a great flexible floor plan, unfortunately never built.
Much to my surprise I found a PDF file online at the Arts & Architecture magazine web site which was an excerpt from their original article on the CSH #24 house. I discovered they have similar articles posted for each of the Case Study Houses – a fantastic resource for modern house fans.

Power of 5000 suns
"The R5800 is my latest and greatest solar creation. Made from an ordinary fiberglass satellite dish, it is covered in about 5800 3/8" (~1cm) mirror tiles. When properly aligned, it can generate a spot the size of a dime with an intensity of 5000 times normal daylight. This intensity of light is more than enough to melt steel, vaporize aluminum, boil concrete, turn dirt into lava, and obliterate any organic material in an instant. It stands at 5'9" and is 42" across.
Coming spring of 2011:

Area of dish aperture (elliptical)= (pi x 102cm x 73cm)/4 = 5848 sq cm Area of focal point (circular)= pi(0.6cm)^2 = 1.14 sq cm Concetration Power= 5848/1.14 = 5129"

Something to 'awe' at
The best line for me was about how it will be a new species that achieves what it is we want to do, reach other stars.
