Not just a load of tree-hugging hippie crap. This guy studied at MIT and his firm is working with NASA.

"Mitchell Joachi insists that his plans are not futuristic. As the Executive Director for Terreform, a “philanthropic design collective,” he is responsible for progressive solutions for current problems. Save for the overt reliance on CGI imagery, the plans he presented at Postopolis! seem robustly conditional on collective goodwill, but still grounded on hard statistics and grounded feasibilities."

If you find this interesting, check out the 49-minute video dealing with sustainable and ecologically-sound ideas for cities, including transportation, food production and buildings at the address above. Intriguing stuff.

p.s. is there really no channel for environment or ecology?

"If you aren’t in love with Stephen Colbert by now, regardless of gender, what the hell is wrong with you? I—I shouldn’t have to explain this to you. I can’t. There are no words. All I can do is show you this and hope you understand."

Nissan is following up its 2005 journey into weirdness, the Nissan PIVO concept, with an updated version that'll be on display in Tokyo. The innovatively-named, Isetta-doored PIVO 2 is a shaplier and more colorful take on its rotating-cabin predecessor, and this time around, the PIVO 2's driver gets some company in the form of the "Robotic Agent," a disembodied monkey head on the instrument panel that speaks English and Japanese and is able to help out with things like directions.

Compact Lithium Ion batteries power in-wheel motors, and the PIVO 2's wheels themselves rotate 90 degrees as well. Tight parking spot? Turn the passenger compartment sideways, turn the wheels, and slide right in or out. Then aim the cabin in the direction you want to go, straighten the wheels, and you're off, chatting with Robot Monkey Friend all the way. Welcome to Japan.

From BBC3's Man Stroke Woman sketch comedy. Men are wusses when it comes to the common cold. There's no homme channel!

Amazing acrobatics around Montreal

FFWD directly to about a minute in (4 minutes remaining on the counter), when it really gets started.
Montrealers will recognize a lot of these locations.
The acrobatics in here will blow your mind, despite some cheesy production. Sort of a preview of the Traces show by circus troup "Les 7 doigts de la main", made up of students who graduated from the École Nationale du Cirque in Montreal.

"'The Device' is the world's first all-in-one beer making machine. Just add the right ingredients, press the right buttons, twist the right valves and after two weeks you'll have gallons of the amber nectar. I make use of another invention that provides me with beer, with even less hassle - it's called a bar."

Mario and Luigi take the turn-off for Vice City and end up marinating in their own ragu.
