Remember David posted about this cool tripod?

We are still spitting out some stuff from the Maker Faire. Here’s a cool tripod for your camera called, gorillapod. It can adhere to any tree, pole, and other hard to reach surfaces. Awesome. Will they send us a sample?

The Joby Gorillapod firmly secures your camera to just about anything — anywhere and everywhere! Unlike traditional tripods, the Gorillapod has flexible, gripping legs which can wrap around almost any surface. It is now available in three sizes!

Check out this cool biological containment art from Philip Ross. It’s a hydroponic garden which allow just enough light using LEDs for the plants to survive but do not grow bigger. Very interesting. This might be good for saving our planet by controlling light plants receive and thus use less energy if we are ever in a closed environment due to wars and what not. (not that i’d want that happen… impeach Bush!!!)

I love motorcycles in general since I own a Gixer but WOW; I was amazed at these really cool electric motorcycles at the Maker Faire. These things have like 30 batteries hooked up to it!

But never fear there is always help at hand, and this time it comes in the form of the All Terrain Tripod from red envelope, this unique design means that the legs of the tripod can be twisted around the anything suitable to give you’re camera the right height and a secure footing, no more watching your expensive camera falling to the ground as it takes photos of you running towards it.

After work, instead of taking the usual elevator, stairs, or escalator, you can simply slide down the Funny Escalator and save some time too. If we ever get a chance to build our own building, this would definitely be one of the features. But you’d probably need to pay a lot of money for insuring it.

Here’s a cool little tool you can use to edit pictures online. It works flawlessly with Flickr hopefully… (well it says…)

But I’ve always thought we need somethin’ like this. Using a Photoshop is an expensive option for most people and takes way too long to load.
