Eclectic junk from the four corners of the ‘Net. And pictures too!
My phone isn’t listed, too bad because of the photo you can tell that my phone isn’t in the best of shape these days. But if yours is on the list then you might be able to have at it with a screwdriver and some gaffers tape and make it all better. Then again even if your phone isn’t on the list you should do it. Remember, if it has screws in it, it’s made to be opened!
Now, can someone make a button or light up belt buckle that does the same thing? It would be oh so handy when dealing with people that say “no, nothing is wrong” when it’s clear that something is.
This device allows somebody to remotely connect, and change the emoticons. It plugs into an ethernet connection at home, it can then be accessed from a remote computer (work, school, whatever) via a web browser. You log in, and can then change the emotion to let the person at home know how your day is going.

Just a few days ago I was in the food store (it’s called something else but I forget what) and I saw boxes of bandaids that have silver in them. At first I thought it was some weird fad, you know like Chia-Pets, but it turns out that silver is a natural antimicrobial. I did a little searching around and discovered that you can get all sorts of things with silver in them, shits, socks being the most common. The ‘wound dressings’ (Band-Aid is a trademark after all and this stuff can be used to cover tools as well) were the coolest by far.
The Silver Collagen Antimicrobial Gel Sheet is a hydrated denatured porcine collagen produced by polymerization. It maintains a moist environment at the wound surface that aids in granulation tissue formation, epithelialization, and enables healing to occur at a rapid rate. The sustained release of ionic silver into the wound creates an effective barrier to fungal penetration and is effective as a method to reduce infection of partial and full thickness wounds.

Very clever design company. Saw it over at Ektopa. The little guy reminds me of some coat hooks desugned by a company called Propaganda I saw while in a posh knicknack shop in Krung Threp (Bangkok).

I want one to load the dishwasher and to fold my clothes. It needs wheels do it can move around the house… It should also be intergrated into a household computer network and be called ‘Proteus’… Hold on, I’m getting Demon Seed flashbacks.. Scratch that. Don’t need the arm.
The Kuka KR 40 is a four axis robot that integrates carbon fiber into the design. Three out of the four motors on the robot are built into the base thus reducing weight and allowing for more speed and acceleration.
It really stacks up: the new KUKA palletizing robot is capable of stacking europallets up to 1,6 m net height. State-of-the-art materials (carbon fiber composite CRP) make the robot extremely light, without sacrificing high stiffness.

I know, I know, this is old news but I think people should be reminded just what a great place Cuba is. Oh wait, if it was such a great place people wouldn’t be building boats out of cars and trying to sail them to the United States.
A vintage blue taxicab converted into a seagoing vessel and carrying several Cuban immigrants was intercepted Tuesday off Key West by the Coast Guard, a television station reported.
