Eclectic junk from the four corners of the ‘Net. And pictures too!
Holy crap! Its a 40(!) DVD boxed set of all seven seasons of the series. You get some extra documentries for your $200US, but you have got to be a serious Buffy fan if your going to buy this.
BTW, if you are a serious fan, get the boxed set, it should save you a lot of shelf space

Finally! Clever looking USB memory keys that are over 256MB! I wonder if I could open a store here in Phoenix that sold stuff like this and actually stay in business…
Agent Greg has this to say:
25 watts is pretty impressive. Three of them could run a 75 watt light bulb.
I’m looking forward to an LED light powered by methanol. Just the thing for camping.
I believe this will be the future of electric cars, by the way. Methanol fuel cells with regenerative braking and eventually battery banks and some solar assist.
Some info from the article:
Fuel cell developer UltraCell has come up with a new fuel cell power source for portable electronic devices that it says has twice the energy density of lithium batteries. That’s potentially very good news for power-hungry mobile gadgeteers…
UltraCell’s reformed methanol fuel cell, or RMFC, technology uses a micro reformer to generate fuel-cell-ready hydrogen from a highly concentrated methanol solution. The new portable power system has the density of a hydrogen fuel cell but uses readily available, low-cost methanol fuel in a compact package.
This is just super cool! Take an old dead hard drive (not totaly dead, it needs to spin up), cut a slot in the top platter, add some LEDs and a microcontroler, and you have yourself a very unique clock. You have to see the videos of it running to fully understand how it works.

New hearts, new livers, kidneys, paws, tails… Just about everything except brain. Whatever this is that the scientists have isolated and adapted for use on mammals I can only hope that it can be used on higher primates, namely us.
Ooo…. These and the vending machines found in Japan should be mandatory in all airports and should line the city streets. When will america realize that if there are self serve machines on every corner that will dispense a dozen different drinks and foods that we will be a happier and more productive place?
