The Ingenious Design of the Aluminum Beverage Can

I'm sure some are not interested in this, but I find it much interesting. without engineering, we would still be in the dark ages, and I find it highly interesting to find out about all the ideas which make it work.

Girocopter girl

Girocopter Girl, a video combining the pleasure of small-craft flight with the pleasure of a pretty woman in the buff.

I find this highly interesting: Quell, a pain relief wearable.
It's already used by prescription in the US, but it is now release for over-the-counter sales.

Michelle Jenneke rocks (and sways)

I'm not a sports fan, but I'm a fan of Michelle Jenneke! What fitness, what grace and beauty, what joi de vivre!




Michelle professes confusion as to why her usual warmup routine would cause millions of people to tune in on youtoob to see her. But I'm not, she is simply attractive as hell, and attractiveness, well, attracts people!

It makes so much more sexy and interesting that she is not trying to be sexy or interesting.  The latter makes anybody seem a degree of scheming and self absorbed. 

And she's good too, winning everything. And it's easy to see how she takes the hurdles with such an effortlessness.


The Pilot's blonde

Does anybody know who this model/actress is/was? She is so excessively stunning that I think she just has to be famous.

It is the time for big robots after all

Looks good full screen.

Even Russia has moral battles

My friend Igor in Russia, who has been an invaluable help during the years when I regularly did business with Russians whose English was limited to a Windoze translator app, sent me this, but I think I'd have heard about it sooner or later anyway, for it's going like a wildfire. It is an amateur video of a custumed group dance of young ladies who have taken the advice "shake your booty" literally.
If you are disturbed by seeing teens moving suggestively, don't wath the video here.
As usual, while I can understand the concerns (getting pregnant at 14 is no great fate, and if intimacy is forced it can be quite traumatic), I am a bit amazed at the sheer level of rabid hysteria which raises its head at anything mixing sensuality with anything under a specific arbitrary age, currently usually set at 18 in most countries.

The Artiphon instrument One

I'be been singing since I was a kid. Later I got praise from highly trained people, and sang briefly in a band.
But I never learned to play an instrument. I don't have any discipline.

But the Artiphon Instrument 1 is a drastically different instrument from anything I've seen before, I think if I could ever use an instrument, that would be it.

HDD and Floppy Music: Nirvana - Smell Like Teen Spirit




Actually not a bad rendition at all!

The Cranberries - Zombie. 4 Non Blondes, What's Up




And from the same period:




It nice when a person is so beautiful that they can dress basically in rags and still look great.

A good interview from later with Linda Perry.
