Designer Series CCTV Cameras


Tired of the same beige "eye in the sky" cameras watching you day in and day out?

Now you can spice things up with the Designer Cameras from Dallmeier.

Available from Swanky (burled walnet) to garish (colored snakeskin) you can be watched in style.

Wouldn't you feel more secure knowing your every move is being recorded by a lens swathed in Colored animal hide print?

Radioactive Consumer goods


The LA Times reports that Radioactive waste is being recycled into all kinds of consumer products we use. Elevator buttons in France (how many times have you touched an elevator button without thinking about what is made from), Cutlery (!), sinks, & handtools, for starters. Why does the News keep getting Stranger and more Surreal?

Yikes!

Obama Wins 2008 Election by a Landslide


The Election is over. The votes are in.

Barrack Obama is President.

What a strange Campaign Season it has been. Hillary Clinton Who? Joe the Plumber? Nailin' Palin? Presidential Nominees on SNL? W.? Graffitti Artists endorsing a presidential candidate?

Was Bush a Lameduck President? I bet he is relieved to pass his problems off onto someone else.
Now we can wash our hands and make some change, we need it!

Is this an Electric Vehicle 300zx in SoCal?




I snapped a cell phone pic of this car in a parking garage in the South Bay with what appears to be an EV symbol on the gas cover lid. Is it a one off Electric / hybrid conversion or just a hoax? no other info was on the car, and a google search bore no fruit.

If you know anything about this car, please share.
