On-Off clock from Lexon

I love buttons. It’s really that simple. However, this new On-Off clock from Lexon just rocks to the off position – no buttons required. Designed by Nina Tolstrup, the On-Off LCD alarm clock can have its alarm activated by tilting it into the on position, and the alarm can be turned off by tilting the clock to the off position. Not sure how the snooze feature will work…

It’s been three long weeks since Australia, but the next GP is this weekend. This race, in Imola, is Ferrari’s home race. In recent tests, they’ve stated with some confidence that they’re ready to battle Renault for a victory.

The F2005

When thinking about this post (before I wrote it), I decided to investigate how fast a F1 car is compared to a regular streetcar. I found this entertaining 3-minute video clip on Google Video. It’s a little dated, however, it still presents the differences well.

I need to give Scott Hansen some credit. I don’t know him and I’ve never seen him (I don’t think). I’d like to give him credit for his artwork. I’ve purchased almost every print he has for sale on his site. (see example below)

I’m not sure why I like his stuff some much – maybe it’s the mix of illustration and photographic imagery? I’m not an art critic, but I know what I like when I see it. Check his site out, he creates some fantastic work: iso50.com

At first, the title may not make much sense – it will by then end of this post. I found this gadget online this morning.

This thing is called the, “Wattson.” It provides a method of understanding how much energy your home consumes. It has a sensor, which takes a measurement of the overall domestic energy consumption (as well as assessing individual appliances). It displays the reading as a number – such as a how many dollars your spending or watts your using (to name a few).

The red light will dim according to how much power your electronics are consuming through the outlets. The devise works wirelessly and stores the energy data. It can be downloaded onto your computer for long-term chronological reports on your home’s energy use.
