Google Earth

Google Earth!! What more can I say. This is an Amazzzing program. I used it before Google owned it (Keyhole) and have been hooked ever since. I cant stress how much I love this program. I rarely use google maps anymore. There are a ton of great features, and the list will only get better, though, I was dissapointed that google got rid of the vectored abilities that keyhole allowed.DOWNLOAD IT, USE IT, and travel around the world within a few twitches of your finger. You’ll be amazed, hooked, and looking up everything.

ElekTex

ElekTex is one of the pioneers in electronic fabrics. I have a real soft spot for their technology because I’m getting tired of plastic and metal tech products. There’s something about soft electronics that’s soooo freakin cool.
Personally, I think softer electronics will bring a nostalgic sense and emotional value that most electronics don’t have. I mean, seriously, you throw away cell phones, laptops, tv’s, mp3 players yearly, but there’s something about those old t-shirts, blankets, teddy bears, baseballs, and other such soft items that easily attach to you.elektex

Aerogel

When it comes to innovative materials, i’m a total sucker for them. Aerogel is a ridiculously amazzzing material that weighs next to nothing and feels like your holding a frozen piece of smoke in your hand. This is the same stuff NASA uses to catch comet trails in space! This material is 99.9% air, reflects all heat, is super cool looking and has some great future application ahead of it.aerogel
