DARPA creates flying Humvee with the TX

Posted: 03 Dec 2010 04:34 PM PST

Every once in a while, you see DARPA flexing its military and scientific muscles, and you’ll see some sort of cool device that looks like it has leaped out of a science-fiction story.

Take this particular vehicle that is half Humvee and half helicopter, and the TX (which is what this vehicle is called) has the ability to do 65 miles per hour on land and 150 mph in the air.

It is hard to believe that this thing can actually fly, but it is apparently made from a composite anti-blast armor and ballistic proof windows.

I don’t really know if this particular vehicle has retractable wings or if those long appendages are permanently there, but it really looks like they can’t switch back. If nothing else, you got some sort of vehicle that looks straight out of the next G.I. Joe movie. Yeah, definitely blast some Cobra with this one with the machine guns and cannons.

Of course, this always brings up the still futuristic notion of the flying car. In other words, why should the soldiers have this helicopter Humvee with machine guns, when the average person is still having to deal with two-dimensional driving.

This TX should cost about $203,000, and it will hopefully be ready by 2015.

Ark Encounter park in Kentucky attempting to build a lifelike Noah’s Ark

Posted: 03 Dec 2010 03:55 PM PST

It’s always a matter of finding the coolest attractions when it comes to amusement parks. That Ferrari roller coaster certainly looks thrilling, as well as the Harry Potter ride.

However, this particular new exhibit in Kentucky goes back to biblical roots for inspiration. The designers fully intend to create a full scale Noah’s Ark, with live animals on it.

Clearly, these designers have been hearing the call of Evan Almighty to create this exhibit straight out of Ned Flanders’ Praiseland. Yes, I realize that those are two comedic references, and to make this report even more comedic, this Ark will have dinosaurs.

That’s right, it will apparently have dinosaurs. After all, most Creation scientists seem to agree that those big bones in natural history museums had a place on the ancient world. Of course, they cannot get live ones. I’m going to guess that these will be animatronic.

Apparently, that dinosaurs on Noah’s Ark is going to be a source of some controversy. However, I think if you are going to go for some realism, then you should try taking care of all these real animals for forty days and nights. Then we’ll talk about how realistic the legend of Noah really is.

Don't deny it, every family has at least one, the relative who thinks that everything is supposed to be fun. He might even be all grown up, but he acts like a child. Everyone loves him, except his wife.

SkyKap – It’s like a caddie in your hat

Posted: 02 Dec 2010 09:22 PM PST

Let's face it, to some of us golf is more than just a game. Okay, to some of us, it's a lot more. Some of us are completely addicted to it. In fact, I can't tell you how many times I've sat around on a Sunday and wondered just how long it was going to take that golf loving husband of mine to come home. Geez.

Maybe the SkyKap Advisor, is just the thing to get him home faster. A hands free, voice activated microcomputer GPS system contained in the brim of a regular golf hat. With some pretty amazing technology, The Advisor provides personal audio responses activated by the golfer’s commands. The Advisor gives the distance to greens, bunkers, water, boundaries and a whole lot more.

First, your completely devoted and unselfish spouse (who just happens to play golf every single weekend) searches and downloads course information by hooking their hat to the PC using the supplied USB cable. Incidentally, if your beloved's course is not mapped, the hat will actually record green distances to be shared with other um, lovely golfers.

I for one refuse to buy anything that encourages  any more golfing, but maybe this thing would make the game a little quicker. Then again if he played better, he would just play more. I cant win can I? Available from  www.rangefinders.com for around $300.00.

Handheld Attack DVR – Personal protection, and a witness all in one

Posted: 02 Dec 2010 07:39 PM PST

I live in New York City, so I guess I am used to being pretty vigilant about my personal safety. I mean, you never just walk down the street in the big city and not pay attention to whats going on around you. And lets face it, what's going on around you isn't always good.

Actually, we have reached a point in our society where we all need to be just a bit more careful, but what are our options? Well, the Handheld Attack-Dvr offers one you may not have heard of. When made active, the Attack DVR will produce a blinding led light as well as a piercing 90 plus decibel noise, all while recording video at the same time. Thats right, a witness to the crime scene hidden in a unit that looks like pepper spray.

The unit is small enough to be held discreetly in your hand or attached to a keychain. It records audio and color video, emits a blinding light and a loud sound that can easily attract attention or scare off a potential attacker. Equipped with a  built in rechargeable battery and a video resolution of 640 x 480 the Attack DVR supports up to a 32Gb SD card.

I have to be honest and say I'd feel better about it if it shot real bullets, but I'm funny like that.

Available for  www.amazon.com for around $92.00 Contents include: 1 Attack-Dvr 1 usb cable 1 wall adapter 1 instruction booklet 1 software disc.

LG STEAM DISHWASHERS – GOOD FOR YOU AND YOUR DISHES

Posted: 02 Dec 2010 06:41 PM PST

Theres a big difference between what I wish my dishwasher could do, and what it actually does. I guess if I'm trying to be honest, I pretty much wash my dishes BEFORE I put them in the machine, and my grandmother's china has never even seen the inside of a dishwasher, until now.

The folks over at LG have revolutionized dishwashing with the advent of the Steam Dishwasher. No longer do you need to run separate cycles for crusted pots and pans and delicate glassware. This baby lets you choose different spray settings for the top and bottom racks with their Dual Intensity Mode. This line of LG dishwashers also has a cycle that will quickly and carefully rid your precious china of all the dust it has accumulated because you never wanted to actually use it. All the while using less water and the gentle power of steam.

It has an adjustable 3rd rack built in food disposer and an incredibly quiet operation. The new LG Studio Series Fully Integrated Steam Dishwasher can be in your home for around $999.99 from  www.bestbuy.com Now that my husband doesn't have to soak the pots and pans anymore, I'm going to have to find something else for him to do. Hmmm.. They don't  make a self cleaning refrigerator, do they?
