- Suck it, Wal-Mart! (link)
- In this economy, with these gas prices, anything goes. (link)
- After one of my favorite designers, Philippe Starck, denounced his life’s work as “shit” at the TED conference, he’s back with something that is not only beautifully designed, but extremely useful: A consumer-targeted plastic wind turbine that can generate 20-60% of the typical household’s energy needs! I know what I want for Christmas!(link via Boing Boing Gadgets)

I would like to know how to hook that sucker up. The Starck Turbine that is. Did you ever see some of the stuff he made for Target? He was not off in his TED estimation if that was any indicator of his work. Landfill ready it was. But it was very creative. I need to see the dimensions of that thing too! It is very interesting. Not pricey at all of the energy production is true.
WalMart and whores. I got nothing. Sad and predictable isn’t it? Sheesh.
I am sending that turbine link to my pop.
