camping :: how to get eaten by a bear

Eiko Shizawa created the Great Sleeping Bear - a sleeping bag that looks like a real black bear!
About her unusual sleeping bag Eiko writes: this bear sleeping bag is the metaphor of the changes between being eaten by a bear, being a bear, who killed a bear and wearing a bear skin, or who sees it and wants to hunt the bear.

 I don't know about you but I won't be sleeping in a bear anytime soon. When I was just a wee baby, my brave five year old brother saved me from the jaws of a big old bear in Yellowstone Park. It wasn't Yogi or Boo Boo either - it was the real deal! So I'll pass on this JUST COOL sleeping bag and word to the wize - don't sleep in this while camping in bear infested campgrounds. May attract attention...

Technology :: answers through the looking glass

If only searching for information was this easy! The Looking Glass is a design concept by Tokyo resident Mac Funamizu that would provide all the answers you're looking for via a see through tablet. The user of the device essentially "frames" his question by using the device to frame a picture. The device takes a picture of what the user sees through the glass, analyzes the image, and then outlines key parts of the image, adding information from internet sites. Not only would it work from internet pictures but it would be used in real life applications as well (such as the apple)








A concept that I hope becomes reality soon. It's JUST COOL!
