Uh oh...

I found the Popular Mechanics Website. This could be bad.


1. Hybrid Dirigibles! I so want to write a story with these guys.

2. Bionic Eye! Who needs a HUD on a jumper when you can see everything in your contact lens?

3. Polaroid PoGo - Eeenteresting... looks more like something my little sister would buy (hrm, Christmas idea!), but no ink photos? (ZINK?) Kinda cool.

4. Hrmm... the article claims the image quality in this guy is more on par with an SLR, citing sensor size as part of the reason those cameras take such good pictures... of course, that's not the only reason. It claims this guy takes pretty good pictures though. For those into sweet looking photography but needing portability, this guy is definitely cool. I don't think it completely beats out SLRs, since you still can't swap out your lenses, and it's not superfast (no three frames per second on this guy).

5. Microsoft Photosynth? Never heard of this one before. Supposedly it can take a series of photos, analyze them, and generate a 3D environment from the overlap points. This is one that I'll believe when I see (and also believe when I see it doesn't slow my computer down to a snail's pace.) However... if it works as advertised, could be very cool. Question is, can it do the same for screen shots? (Virtual tour of Atlantis, anybody?)

6. Okay, maybe not so cool, but the thought of filling up a jacket with leaves and whatnot amuseth me greatly. I guess it would be the sort of thing that comes in handy if you get lost in a very cold forest with lots of dead leaves lying around.

Okay, I have to get back to work now. Popular Mechanics bad.

Interesting gadgets... I'm waiting for a fic that includes one of those jackets!! Maybe McKay bought one thinking it'd be useful offworld? After all, his fashion sense can be, um, not-so-cool at times! *g*

I just don't see the use of that jacket *g* I mean, really, how warm are pine needles? Wouldn't they poke? Itch? Wouldn't it start to smell? (Okay, supposedly it allows you to adjust your warmth, but still...) I can only begin to imagine Rodney's comments on the thing ;)

[leesa_perrie]

Yeah, I guess it's not so practical, though leaves might work, sort of! Though Rodney's comments on it - now someone should write that - really you should!! *bg*

*whine* But I'm already writing so much else!

[leesa_perrie]

Ah, but you're such a good writer, that's why I always want more!!

In answer to your answer to my icon - John's plotting a way to get it back, 'cos a non-caffeinated Rodney is so not a sight to behold! *g* (Love the icon, btw!)

Aw, you're making me blush!
