Awesome track

As I'm quite known to do, I have my winamp playing while sitting here at work and this came up and reminded me how much I liked Wale's debut album...especially when he switches it up like on this track; it has such a fun, 70's, funk vibe to it.
For those that haven't heard this before, it was an iTunes bonus track. Enjoy.




Keep up the good work Mr. Folarin

Nils Guadagnin designs working Hoverboard



French artist Nils Guadagnin has created the ultimate gadget, the hover board from Back to the Future 2. The board floats using simple electromagnetism and a laser stabilisation system that corrects the board’s balance. Towards the end of the clip when the artist pushes the board it easily recovers using this stability system.

Unfortunately the only problem with this board is that it’s an artistic installation and cannot take the weight of a rider.The electromagnetic system which levitates the board is integrated into the board and the plinth.


Check out a video presentation below:



All I know is that as soon as something like this becomes available for consumer use (and it will; they still have 4+ years to develop it...lol...c'mon Mattel), I am SO getting one...and yes, it'll be in the very fluorescent BTTF color scheme.

Sony Bracelet Computer Concept



Designed by Hiromi Kiriki this Sony Concept Bracelet Computer is constructed from flexible OLED plastic which allows the device to be worn around the wrist for transport.
Once required the bracelet is removed and flattened out to provide access to a slide away qwerty keyboard. The display comes in the form of a holographic projector which projects the screen display in front.

With the advancements in OLED technology I’m sure it will not be long before these type of designs are capable of production and become main stream devices.


Personally, I can't wait to see this tech in action. Since watching stuff like Iron Man, I'm really looking forward to being around to see more portable tech and more technology we can be much more interactive with.
