Light Touch projector makes any surface a touchscreen
A previously little-known company from the UK called Light Blue Optics has demoed a projector at CES which allows users to interact with the light image as if it were a touchscreen. The Light Touch throws a 10-inch image at WVGA resolution at incredibly short distances thanks to the holographic projection technology involved. At the same time the infra-red touch sensitive system allows users to interact with social networks, multimedia sharing and any other applications that can use the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth support in the device to connect to the Internet. It comes with 2GB of onboard flash memory, a microSD card slot for expanding the storage and the battery life will last 2 hours. UPDATE: Two years on and although Light Blue Optics doesn't seem to have come up with the goods, others have. - Prodigy projection keyboard iPhone case turns any surface into a keyboard
Pictures of Pennies
Hi, I'm Mitch Fincher and these pages are from a talk I gave while a Civil Engineering student at Texas Tech University. The following is the basic pattern for building cantilevered structures with Pennies. Although it looks trivial, we can build amazing structures with these pillars. All penny columns are ten pennies high, a "stack". Now, I'll show you how to build a simple bridge. Carefully filling the space between with pennies, we create a one penny-span bridge. Repeating the process by putting an extra triad on top of each stack, we can create a two penny-span bridge. Although it looks weak, it will actually hold quite a bit of weight. We can move on to a three penny-span bridge. And finally to six and seven penny-span bridges. Click "Next" to move on to "The Big Tower". Submit your amazing coin stacking pictures. Note: All stacks of coins were done without any glue.
The Webtender: Drinking Games.
Have fun with The Webtender's collection of drinking games, but be extremely careful if you play any these games, especially the ones with high buzz factors. The collection was created as an aid to responsible adults who know their limits (and not to cross them) when it comes to drinking, and not to promote this kind of drinking behavior. You should of course be of legal drinking age if you want to play these games with beer or drinks, but anyone can play these games with non-alcoholic beverages as well.

On The Issues Magazine The Progressive Womans Magazine Winter 2011: The Rise...
Is the ‘F’ word co-opted by conservatives & consumerist media? Where are real icons & core values? On The Issues Magazine, Winter 2011, considers feminist icons, feminist values and feminist cons. The Rise of Enlightened Sexism by Susan J. Douglas Today, we once again have what Betty Friedan famously called "a problem with no name." At the same time, these young women get the message loud and clear that the absolute last thing they should embrace is feminism. After reviewing the media fare geared to girls and women since the early 1990s, I came to see a rather large gap between how the vast majority of girls and women live their lives, the choices they are forced to make, and what we see -- and don't see -- in the media. What the media have been giving us then over the past fifteen years are fantasies of power. Today many young women regard feminism as the ideological equivalent of anthrax A New Brand of Sexism With women's equality supposedly won, sexist stereotypes are considered amusing
Famous Oscar Wild quotation | Our Funny Planet
No man is rich enough to buy back his past The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast I don`t like principles. I prefer prejudices One should always be in love. Life is never fair… An perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not I can believe anything, provided that it is quite incredible Experience is the name everyone gives to his mistakes Humanity takes itself too seriously. Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood I am not young enough to know everything We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell I can resist anything but temptation Life is much too important a thing ever to talk seriously about it Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them as much A kiss may ruin a human life I am always astonishing myself.

12 Things Youll Wish Youd Never Seen Under a Microscope
If you shrink yourself down to microscopic size, you're suddenly living in a completely alien world. Whatever you're picturing, perhaps based on your experience from Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, is way, way off. At that scale, everything is unimaginable horror. WARNING: THESE PHOTOS ARE UNSETTLING AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED. At normal size ... Before we show you the close-up, let's ease you into it with a regular picture. They're vile little creatures, born into corpses and garbage, and they feed on things that we would rather see buried. But close up ... What the hell, nature? We're not looking to offend members of any one religion, but we think all of them can agree that this proves God is freaking insane. You can't see them. You find them in freshwater, so if you went swimming in a pond and a bit of water went into your mouth, maybe you swallowed one. Is ... is that its eyes? Man, screw that thing. You don't need a picture. ... Whoa, that thing is pissed off. Oh, bullshit. Yes, that's real.
