Winning Web Sites Drawn You In

It’s been some time since I’ve linked up a site merely for it’s design. This one is incredible. It’s so good, I predict you’ll tell someone.

Flying Cars on the Horizon

Flying cars are coming! Flying cars are coming! Just ask the Department of Defense!

The Defense Advanced Projects Agency (DARPA) has cleared the Transformer (TX) program for takeoff. If it flies, by 2015 U.S. soldiers will be able to ride into battle aboard a four-person flying car that can cruise in the air like an airplane, drive on the ground like an SUV, rove 250 miles on one tank of fuel and not require a runway to get airborne.

Check out these specs!

Technologies that DARPA told companies it was interested in seeing incorporated in their proposals include hybrid electric drive, advanced batteries, adaptive wing structures, ducted fan propulsion systems, advanced lightweight heavy fuel engines, lightweight materials and advanced sensors.

Nutricious Food Simply, Fast

Do you get tired of picking out what to eat? Does it seem like the same things over and over? Would you rather just have them stick an I.V. in you and be done with it?

Never fear! Our brightest minds are at work on this very problem. The wunderkind at MIT have created Cornucopia. The bad news is that this project is just getting underway and I won’t be able to buy on at Bed, Bath & Beyond this weekend.

Great Hotel on the Cheap

Just returned from a great trip with my two oldest boys to Indianapolis for an AAU basketball tourney. The boys had fun too (thanks for asking) but maybe the most memorable part of the trip was our astounding surprise to find that this placed called Hotel Indigo is about as cool as it gets. And!… at a price that compares favorably to the Holiday and Hampton Inns of the world.

Check out these pics! We highly recommend.

Giant Office Slide Speeds Productivity

Chuck ‘E Cheese meets Wall Street, or… in this case, the Sheffield business district.

Talk about your fringe benefits! I wonder if there’s a limit to the number of times you can play slide work on this piece of office equipment per day?

Best Ever Home Media Room

If you came to our house and I showed you our “media room” you wouldn’t be impressed. Don’t get me wrong, we have a wonderful, large TV but the rest of the room is severely lacking.

You might have a very nice media room in your house. I don’t know. You’ve never invited me, but I’ve seen a great number of them, even on HGTV.

But this one by Steve is the granddaddy of them all and deservedly wins the award of Best Ever Home Media Room. I’m literally speechless… make sure you look at all the photos on his site.

jDome Sounds Promising to Avid Gamers

Certainly one would need to try this out in person, but in theory, it sounds grand. And by saying that, it’s now obvious to everyone that I’m a massive nerd. [via Kotaku]

Innovative Architecture Examples Abound Abroad

While America is not wholly devoid of innovative architecture, take Museum Plaza for example, most leading designs are coming from Western Europe or places like Dubai where billionaires build skyscrapers like little boys build toy towers.

(BTW, how about that title for some tongue-twister alliteration?)

Design vs. Evolution: Where Do the Facts Lead Us?

Take a couple minutes to watch the short trailer that’s promoting some new DVD’s on the topic of Intelligent Design. It’s very well done. cheap turbotax software byy
