Sapphire is an uberliciously new liquid designed to fight fires, without killing the electronics. It’s high tension structure beads off of any surface pretty much making it a dry liquid . You can sink your laptop in a pool of this liquid and type away with no worries. I’d love to have a big pool of this stuff, go swimming in it with my cloths on, walk out, let it all bead off in a few seconds, and continue on with the same cloths….anyhow, I’m still trying to get my hands on this stuff, but apparently you have to be affiliated with the fire department to order it.

Chit Chat is a scruptiously delicious and whimsical project by Steven Blyth and Matty Sallin. Each seat in a restaurant is connected to a microphone and projector. The Microphone takes your voice as infomation to display words such as “blah blah , BLAH, ba blah, la la.” The size, speed, color, and words are based on your conversation with the person next to you. Basically, your voice becomes the ambient environment in the space surrounding you in a non-obtrusive manor. HOW SWEEEEET is this project. It’s like living in a comic book but living in reality at the same time. yeahyea! Watch the videos.chit chat
The “All season shirt” concept is uber delicioulsy cool and geeky in some designer way. It’s one shirt that functions both as long and short sleeve on the same shirt. Feeling hot, no worries, just tuck your arms in like a turtle, rotate your shirt a few degrees, and extend your arms back out the short sleeves. Whala! Now the long sleeves are just ornamental designs dangling off your chest. HOW COOL!!!!
Bytrico has a bunch of other cool shirts as well. If your in Tokyo, ya gotsta stop by and check them out. They are a little pricy, but I dont know anywhere else that you can find unique shirts like these.Go shop!
Ever wonder what your pimp name could be…well, this url lets you have a bunch. Just type in your name press a button, and whala! My Pimptastic name is: Ice Master Tang Jazz. Buh Yeah! How sweet it is!

Are you asian, or think you can tell the difference between someone thats japaneses, chinese, korean, etc? This is a great classic site thats been up for years to test your asian awareness-ism. They give you 20 some images, and you vote for what ethnicity that person looks like. I got 13/20..not too bad…do we really all look the same to some people? There needs to be a european version of this test..take the test!
update: They have expanded the “looks like” test with extra cultural test ranging from Food, Art, Architecture, and much more in their new Exam Room. I got 15/18 on the food test 😉

I dont know what this guy is saying, but, I wish fishing were this fun, krazy, weird and easy. Watch the full video, it gets ridiculous towards the end!

Hyper Sonic Sound, HSS, are uber cool directional speakers invented by Woody Norris. What are they, well, basically, if I stuck a flashlight in front of the speaker, only people within the lights cone would be able to hear what I was broadcasting. It’s the strangest feeling. First you hear it, then you dont . The other wow factor is you cant tell which direction the sound is coming from. I don’t quite understand how it works, but I’ve had the chance to play with and have never seen or heard anything like it. When someone points the speaker at you, it sounds like there’s a speaker inside of you, playing through your lungs or sum something. It’s mad weird!!!!! but uber cooool!
There’s another invention like it called the audiospotlight done by a MIT graduate. Anyhow, I’m not sure what the future of sound is, but this is for sure one revolutionary step for it.Hyper Sonic Speakers

The TED Conference(Technology, Entertainment, Design) is perhaps the most unbelievable gathering of mind-provoking, astonishing, inspirational, diverse, and life changing conferences I have ever been to. I could rant on for pages about it, but check out their webpage and look at the speakers list and imagine if all the attendees were just as amazzzzing. Only about 1000 people are invited each year. I’ve been extremely fortunate to work for and attend the conference since 2003. The TED conference is a mind-boggling experience taken place in Monterey CA each year.TED conference
