New Car for the WIRED Editor
February 21st, 2011
This is a pretty wild new car, and it has a few bells and whistles. My kind of car, but will say, when will this guy be using all of this technology?! (Hopefully NOT while driving!)

Blaise Aguera y Arcas: Jaw-dropping Photosynth
January 17th, 2011
Saw this, and have seen other paradigms for images like this before, except this one may be primed with some traction, that allows for some new ways at looking at designing for the web, and beyond. Blaise Aguera y Arcas leads a dazzling demo of Photosynth, software that could transform the way we look at digital images. Using still photos culled from the Web, Photosynth builds breathtaking dreamscapes and lets us navigate them. Very interesting piece, and worth the watch.
GM does it, Masters the “HYDROGEN FUEL CELL”
December 3rd, 2010
OK this will be the last car post in a while. It seems that I make a lot of these. I just had to post this one, as it looks like GM is on the right track, I just wish that this type of tech would come into automotive faster. This is a great idea.
Nanogenerators Grow Strong Enough to Power Small Conventional Electronic Devices
November 11th, 2010
ScienceDaily (Nov. 9, 2010) — Blinking numbers on a liquid-crystal display (LCD) often indicate that a device’s clock needs resetting. But in the laboratory of Zhong Lin Wang at Georgia Tech, the blinking number on a small LCD signals the success of a five-year effort to power conventional electronic devices with nanoscale generators that harvest mechanical energy from the environment using an array of tiny nanowires.
