Sarah Palin’s Record On the Environment: A Closer Look

Palin on the Environment, Beyond the Sound BitesWe’ve all heard the big ones by now: Sarah Palin doesn’t believe in global warming (as a result of human practices, at least), she’s suing the federal government to get polar bears removed from the endangered species list, and she vigorously supports opening the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve up for drilling. But Palin’s stance on environmental issues is far more detailed than those simple, sound bite-friendly talking points. A recent

Awesome Pong Watch Tells Time Through Score

The concept’s so simple it’s pure genius: a game of Pong is automatically “played” on the watch face, with the left side score representing the hours, and the right side the minutes. As the hours and minutes pass by, the appropriate side “loses” to keep the score matched to the current time. Let’s hope John

The concept’s so simple it’s pure genius: a game of Pong is automatically “played” on the watch face, with the left side score representing the hours, and the right side the minutes. As the hours and minutes pass by, the appropriate side “loses” to keep the score matched to the current time. Let’s hope John Maushammer is interested in getting someone to mass-produce his homemade work of art. But in the meantime, fellow engineers are invited to check out his build log and plans.

Proving the Superficiality Behind Exotic Cars

So a Wired Blog recently reported on a study that proves that exotic cars turn women on, specifically featuring how the sounds affect the fairer sex:To test the theory that high-performance cars get people hot, Moxon had 40 men and women listen to recordings of the three Italian exotics and a Volkswagen Polo.

So a Wired Blog recently reported on a study that proves that exotic cars turn women on, specifically featuring how the sounds affect the fairer sex:

To test the theory that high-performance cars get people hot, Moxon had 40 men and women listen to recordings of the three Italian exotics and a Volkswagen Polo. Everyone had significantly more testosterone after hearing the exotics, and all of the women were turned on by the Maserati. The guys, on the other hand, were drawn to the Lamborghini.

Do we really need to spend that much to prove that women—and men—pay more attention to owners of expensive vehicles?

Energy Ball wind turbine captures energy for the home

As much as we prefer a good old-fashioned bird-killin' three blade wind turbine, apparently they cause a bit too much vibration and disturbance for regular home use. That's where the Energy Ball comes in, with its spherical shape that captures wind less obtrusively and yet more efficiently. At least that's what we're told, we're a bit short on details. We do know that it's in the prototype stages and was designed by Swedish company Home Energy, who claims their smallest Energy Ball can provide about 15% of the necessary energy to power the average Swedish home.

In more Nike SB news, we get a more detailed look at the “Gore-Tex” Dunk SB Low. We initially previewed the Gore-Tex based model months ago, but its now we get a better understanding of the composition of the upper. WIth the upper being composed of Gore-Tex the sneaker is now waterproof which can be put to use for those rainy-day skate sessions. Furthermore, a subtle combination of shades of grey and perforated-less toe-box really add a nice touch to these Dunks. A true stand-out in the Dunk SB rotation. Via Colmilludo.

There’s even a way for schools to track their overall impact as a team reducing their carbon footprint through the website....
