A pop in replacement for standard incandecent bayonet light bulbs. If it wan’t for the outlandish price I’d get a bunch.

The Best Low-Flow Toilets
No Pets? No Worries…
You live in Tokyo and your apartment is eight foot on a side. You can’t have a pet due to the rental restrictions (plus it might damage your priceless collection of Newtype and FRUiTS magazines that line the walls!) but you still crave warmth and companionship (a girl friend is out of the question, as to why refer to the magazine collection plus they never live up to the ones you know in the dating sims).
So stop thinking of collecting hentai mini figs of Sailor Moon and go hit PET LIVE! TV. Here you can watch a little mini zoo of animals frolic and sleep all via web cam. You could get your fix of your favorite online critter anywhere you can get connected to the ‘net. I like the meerkat myself but the ferrets are a close second. You can also catch a few movies of cats and dogs, but where is the fun in that?
PET LIVE! TV
BTW, if you click on the ‘So-Net Channel 749‘ logo you go to a programming page where you can browse other ‘odd’ items that are offered to the happy people of Japan. Like ‘Let’s Coke Play Battle Myth‘ and what must be a real must see program, ‘Boy Meets Cooking‘.
You might want to translate these with Excite if your not into the whole Japanese roulette web page thing.)
Now You See It, Now You Don’t
This is cool only if your not on the beach when it falls into the ocean. I suppose all those signs the rangers post actualy are there for a good reason! But you know what? I’d love to see something like happen, from a safe distance mind you.
Flickr Photo Books
If you have a Flicker account you are now in for a real treat. As Flickr continues it’s advance into the realm of iPhoto, its catalog of service increase. You can now make your own photo books, thumb nail books, and posters! The prices are right too, from $9.99 to $24.99 (oddly enough the photo book costs less than the book of thumb nails.)
Making the books can’t be much simpler, you select the photos by date, set, or you can use your entire collection. Choose the layout and checkout. Bingo, your done. Ok, there are a few more things you might need to do but not a lot.
I have a demo first page as a sample, not too bad, eh?
N55 Protest Rocket System
Lets just for a moment forget the fact that if you wheel one of these up to a demonstration, convention, or rally your going to get all sorts of unwanted attention like getting thrown into a police car or shot in the head by a sniper. But then again, maybe you like that sort of thing… Kids today…
Anyway, other than that the idea is pretty cool. If you want to read a pretty good over view of how a modern high powered rocket works this is it. Because the BATF has made obtaining black powder motors next to impossible, the NO2 (nitrous oxide) and plastic motors have become very popular. Its amazing what will produce thrust if you give it a good oxidizer.
