The ‘Millennium Falcon’ miniature building set piece used in the Harrison Ford and Ridley Scott masterpiece Blade Runner. This large-scale set piece which began life as a Millennium Falcon miniature constructed by an ILM model maker, appeared in the cityscape overflight scenes of Blade Runner, standing upright and lighted as a building in the acid-rain soaked future city.

Not only does this heavely modded golf cart serve up coffee, but it also offers a way for a person to rebuild their life.
Experience of running the DASH business has taught us that is unfair to expect existing Streetwork staff, who’s skills and primary motivation is to help very vulnerable and damaged young people, to also run a retail business that competes with Starbucks or Costa. Therefore, in order to maximise the social business potential of street-based coffee selling, a new subsidiary company has been formed called Streetwork Trading Ltd.

Anyone with a love of building things out of paper will enjoy this site. Inside this blog you will find links to origami, info on paper Disney castles, way cool japanese ‘make-it-yourself’ paper version of Life, and other coolness.
Go grab your card stock and fire up the inkjet printer and build yourself silly this weekend.
Eh, not the cryptid that they were looking for I’m afraid. Still, it is a good thing that they went a head and ran the DNA and made sure. I personaly don’t think that there are such things as bigfoot or sasquatch or even a yeti. I think that people will see what they want to see and that will never change. But you know, I’ve been wrong before but this time I think I’m right.
Neat, another solar cooker! If your in a place where the sun shines a lot – like the southwest United States – one of these could save you some bucks on gas on y our next BBQ. Good for camping too, you could boil water without worring about starting a forest fire.
The site leads you to one in Italian but you can find there in the US. The Solar Cooking Archive is a good place to start, lots of information there. If your looking for one that is a bit like the Italian one, the ClearDome SolaReflex Parabolic Solar Cooker should do the trick for you. And if your wondering why the heck you would use a big old silver salad bowl to cook with, you should read this.
If your looking to keep up with what is going on with the current Space Shuttle mission and can’t get NASA TV in your area, you should take a look at this list. Dozens of links to feeds with a quality rating next to each one. I like the 350 kb/s feed myself, it’s almost like watching the video feed on cable. I’m watching the crew move the Canada arm around so they can install Raffaello, the Multi Purpose Logistics Module that was hauled up on orbit by the shuttle, to the ISS. It’s simplay amazing to see something like this and know that its happening right now.
Go celebrate NASA’s return to space by geeking out in front of your computer and absorb some hard core space news.
