Solar-Powered Beach Bag.

We’ve seen The Ghetto Blaster Bag today, the tote that plays music. But what if you already have the music, and all you need is power for it? Then you need The Juice!
We've built the world's first heavy-duty solar beach tote that incorporates our high-tech flexible solar panel.

With the Juice Bag Beach Tote, your phone is good to go, and your camera's always ready for that one great shot - No matter how far you are from a power outlet.

Only $249.99. http://www.rewarestore.com/product/beachtote.html -via Arbroath

Computing the Volume of a Cat.


How do you compute the volume of a cat?

Dunking it in water doesn't work-- you only get the volume of the rat-like creature that lives inside the cat; much like the feeble alien within a Dalek. (And, if your answer had anything to do with contour integrals, get real.)

Find out how Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories did it, and the volume of this cat. Link

What's Opera, Doc?


The Warner Brothers cartoon What's Opera, Doc? is marking its 50th anniversary this week. It was voted by animation professionals as the greatest cartoon of all time. Push play or go to Youtube.
No one who knows and loves "What's Opera, Doc?" will ever hear Wagner's "Der Ring des Nibelungen" without hearing, in their own minds, "Kill da wabbit ... kill da wabbit."


And now you will have the tune in your head all day. Link -via Fark

Find your hobby.

Which hobby best suits your personality? Mine would be travel (if I had the time and money).
Getting there is half the fun and for you the other half of the fun means going even further once you're there. You're ready to travel anywhere at the drop of a hat: your passport is always up to date and you get diphtheria shots as your normal course of a doctor visit. All your clothing is made from thin, wickable, engineered fabric, so it travels light and layers well for any climate. You might like hobbies like travel blogging, backpacking across the globe.

Take the test to find yours! Link -via the Presurfer

Bentley Continental rebranded as a Hyundai.


Autoblog has photos of a Bentley Continental GT adorned with Hyundai badges. Is it a statement, or did the owner lose a bet? Link -Thanks, Bill!

Live Earth Concerts.

Live Earth is a 24-hour, 7-continent concert series taking place on 7/7/07 that will bring together more than 100 music artists and 2 billion people to trigger a global movement to solve the climate crisis.

Live Earth will reach this worldwide audience through an unprecedented global media architecture covering all media platforms - TV, radio, Internet and wireless channels.

Live Earth marks the beginning of a multi-year campaign led by the Alliance for Climate Protection, The Climate Group and other international organizations to drive individuals, corporations and governments to take action to solve global warming. Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore is the Chair of the Alliance and Partner of Live Earth.


To watch Live Earth performances from New York, London, Johannesburg, Rio, Shanghai, Tokyo, Sydney, and Hamburg, click here. I hope you have better luck with it than I did; I only have a very old version of Internet Explorer, which is required for live viewing. Other browsers can choose videos by city. You can also watch various venues on TV. http://www.liveearth.org/event.php
