Takara Walkiebits Robot Turtles:

These tiny turtle ‘Walkiebits’ from Takara aren’t much more evolved than the wind-up walking toys Japan loves so well. They do have one new trick, though: you can tap a rhythm out on their shell—up to 15 raps—and the turtles will walk to that beat. Okay, not that impressive, but the 5 centimeter robots are only $13 (and might even show up in the US, as Takara is pretty good about exporting here).

Stanley Kubrick’s Chicago:

Few people know that before he started making movies, Stanley Kubrick was a star photojournalist. In the summer of 1949, Look magazine sent him to Chicago to shoot pictures for a story called “Chicago City of Contrasts.”

yellowTAB – Makers of ZETA :

ZETA 1.0 goes golden!09. June 2005 While we had initially planned to release ZETA 1.0 at the beginning of May, we then decided to delay the release. We did this in order to make some major changes and additions so that we could be absolutely certain to release a ZETA truly worthy of the name 1.0.

cool….

Optware Holographic 30GB Card:

Optware, the leaders in everything holographic (except my limited edition holographic Picachu), have a new type of media. This is roughly the size of a credit card and hold 30GB worth of data. It is called the Holographic Versatile Card (HVC) and is going to join the lines of Blu ray and HD DVD for the throne of the next big media. Right now the HVC seems less practical in home uses because the HVC reader costs $1800 dollars while each 30GB card is going to be under $1. For large server purposes this seems more practical.

I’m wondering if these might not be a good console gaming storage device. Hmmm? Hmmm?

Getting Things Done TiddlyWiki:

Holy wiki, Batgirl! GTD TiddlyWiki tracks all your Getting Things Done lists – Next Actions, Projects, and context lists – in a you-won’t-believe-your-eyes dynamic web page made up of editable chunks.

The original TiddlyWiki by Jeremy Ruston is, without a doubt, one of the most amazing dynamic web apps I’ve ever seen (sorry Gmail.) The GTD TiddlyWiki adaptation is searchable and printable on 3×5 index cards (hello Hipster PDAers), and best of all, web hosting isn’t required to use it. Simply save the file to your computer and open it up in your web browser for a private, local, cross-platform webpage app. Give yourself some time to play with this new toy – it’s fun, addictive and useful.

Very, Very, Very cool
