Bettine Lamp is made from 315 Ping Pong balls and my PC is made from 10 Golf Balls!

Bettine Lamp is made from 315 Ping Pong balls and my PC is made from 10 Golf Balls!

Okay my PC is not made from 10 golf balls, that was just a joke but here’s Bettine Lamp, made from 315 Ping Pong balls.  Isn’t it great?

The Dutch designer Diaz Kleefstra meticulously put together this hanging lamp so you can have diffuse light while toeing the line between über chic and über geek. It’s called the ‘Bettine’ lamp because it’s named after famous female Dutch table tennis player Bettine Vriesekoop.

DIY - How to Make an LED USB CD Lamp!

DIY - How to Make an LED USB CD Lamp!

Want to be really green?  Try this DIY on how to make an LED USB CD Lamp made from of course your useless CDs and some ingenuity.

The USB powered LED CD lamp is a very useful gadget. It’s powered by the USB port, so you don’t need any external power supply. The stiff mounting wire, I used acts as a gooseneck and lets you bend the light source in different angles and directions.

The time capsule DVD left on Mars for future Martians

Posted in Consumer, Funny, Gadgets, Stupid by max on the May 28th, 2008 at 2:16 pm

Lol, special silica-gel DVD (that lasts up to years) has been left on mars for future Martians to pick it up and load it onto their PCs… Who’s working at NASA? Where is my tax money going to? Some dumb folks?

Okay, that was kinda pointless to assume an alien could understand DVDs.

The disc - being described as the first interplanetary library - is made of a special silica glass designed to last hundred, if not thousands, of years into the future.

It also holds a collection of Mars-themed artwork, including a poster from a 1936 Flash Gordon film Mars Attacks the World and Orson Welles’s 1938 radio broadcast of War of the Worlds. Patrick Stewart as Star Trek’s Captain Picard also makes an appearance on the DVD.

The idea is to give future Martians a snapshot of how they were viewed on Earth - though, considering some of the content, it may not be met with the most favourable reception.

Electricity from Cow Poop!

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Earth, Educational, Energy, Entertainment by max on the May 28th, 2008 at 12:46 pm

Electricity from Cow Poop!

Wow, Brothers Kevin and Daryl Maas of Washington State are working on producing electricity from cow poop!

How cool is that?

I think the world is changing and it’s a great thing when you can produce electricity from some excess animal waste.

We use a proven, commercialized technology called a manure digester to harvest methane gas from manure. We burn the methane to create electricity, while sending the processed manure back to the farmers as an organic fertilizer now free of pathogens and odor.

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Gadgets, Golf, Sports by max on the May 28th, 2008 at 10:19 am

E-Ball bring Golf Simulator to your Home!

Man, if I had enough money, I’d get a big fat house with a big fat ceiling office where I can blog and play golf right in my office during break.

E-Ball brings you this cool Golf Simulator to the market.  Basically it’s the similar to the commercial ones you see at the arcade.

Will someone get me one please?

E Ball’s golf simulator offers the most realistic golf experience on the market today.

Players see a huge visual image of a real life situation at a major golf event. They hit the ball at the visual image and highly accurate ball sensors measure the ball’s speed and trajectory accurately as it passes towards the huge visual image of a golf course. In real time the virtual ball takes over and continues its path on the screen. Golfers experience the thrill of making the shot in the big game.

Ever wanted to have your own in-home golf driving range, win a closest to the pin competition with the accuracy and power of your golf swing, or smash your drive down the fairway to win the longest drive competition?

E Ball’s golf simulator allows players to satisfy their golfing dreams.

The golf simulator is used for wood and irons so that players can practice their driving, long iron and short iron game.

The unique ball sensor technology is very accurate and realistic. Users continually comment on the quality and speed of response when compared with other golf simulators.
