1. New blog discovered: Sci Fi Tech 

Better than Gizmodo with a 100th the traffic.  Go and enjoy.  Where else are you going to find the transparent car.

2. Cool Thing:

I don't know what it is about this, but it just looks really cool.  It kinda reminds me of the steampunk keyboard.  Wouldn't the set just make your workspace ultimately cool.

This would make you the coolest kid on the steampunk block. The envy of your wire rimmed glasses wearing, top hat sportin' crowd.

3. Cool Website: The size of things.

So this grew out of my last "4 things" post while I was trying to dig up the original source for the size of our world email I got [linky] I found this which shows the size of things ranging from the univers down to the smallest of the small, the quark.  All in flash pretty cool. [linky]

4. Cool Tangible Thing: Fastest Sailboat in the World

47.6 knots! That's about 60 Miles per hour, in a sailboat. Albiet a state of the art hydrofoil sailboat but a sailboat nonetheless.

And it did this in 25 knots of wind.  This can be confusing to some people, "How can a sailboat go faster than the wind?"  You just have to remember that it isn't the speed of the wind but the energy it provides and how it is harnessed that is important.

And OH MY but how the L’Hydroptère harnesses that power!
