Indy 500 - New world record - Driver Yellow Hot Wheels

This was amazing to watch - But make sure to watch the follow up videos on how they practiced this jump for months before today (May 29th 2011’s) big jump at the Indy 500. The way they made the jump look just like the Hot Wheel Race Track I used to play with as a kid. I think I attempted this same jump from the living room couch many time before. But it never looked this cool. Way to go Tanner Faust - From Top Gear.  Tanner is the Yellow Driver. They have been keeping him under wraps until today. Todays jump was 332 feet - A little over the length of a foot ball field. I like how he described it as flying thru the uprights.

Now Enjoy the videos:

Here is Tanner Faust talking about the practice and leading up tod the jump today.

and finally the teaser video presented by Izod and Hot Wheels:

This has to be the ultimate Lego Block - and proof that geeks can sorta grow up and marry.
This Lego Ring (Via - Color Me Katie) - You must check out her blog - It is so interesting and full of life - I love it.

Not much can be said about this ring - other then it is really cool and a great way to incorporate your life and love into one meaningful moment.

I went to a wedding recently and the groom built the wedding topper for their cake out of Lego and I loved it

Congrats to Thomas and Roxanne! - May you have many Happy Years Together!

and one alternative look at the Lego Ring - In use.

LaCie XtremKey 16 GB All-Terrain USB 2.0 Flash Drive

Just overhear this being talked about on one of the PodCast I listen too. But I forgot to write down which one I was enjoying at the time. But this LaCie XtremeKey 16 GB All-Terrain USB 2.0 Flash Drive seems to be the cat’s meow.

With many features such as a 2mm thick full metal casing.  It is hot, cold, water, pressure and drop resistant. But only when closed. This Drive has fantastic write and read performance. And this comes with a wear-resistant braided metal cable ring. And this device performs equally between PC’s and Mac’s.

As I mentioned the metal casing can withstand a truck up to 10 tons.

And this sturdy drive can survive 200° C or 392° F or survive the frigid temps as low as -50° C or -122° F

Plus up to 333 ft deep water resistance.

This is just a really cool drive and a 16GB Drive is $74 (9/13/2010)

I can’t wait to try one of these drives out. With the speed rated at 40MB/s Read and 30MB/s Write this could be a really nice drive to have with you. Having this when you need a some files or need to save files that you need to take with you or take back home can be a really life saver knowing they are really protected.

This can also be a great place to store all your confidential info and keep it with you at all times. What a better way then with something that is this disaster resistant. Yes you can keep some of your info in the clouds but what do you do when the connection to the clouds are severed.

Simple iPhone Speaker Enhancer - Low Tech

Posted on January 17th, 2010 by Merlin.
Categories: Anything Else, Cell Phone, Communication, Hack, MP3, Music, Toy, Weird Stuff, iPhone.

I could not pass up sharing this simple smartphone ( Blackberry, iPhone, Droid etc) Speakerphone Enhancer. I wish I would have thought of this - This really is a quick and dirty (only if you leave the glass dirty) Solution that really works. I can’t believe how well this works. I tried it today and the sound is increased - Now this is not hi-fi - But it works in a pinch when you need a little extra boost. Make sure to put the speaker side down - The bottom of the iPhone down. This causes an echo chamber and increases the volume of the sound. Just a little quick and easy solution. Great from when you are away from your regular speakers or dock.

But if you want a little (Well a lot better speaker system for your iphone - I would suggest checking out this page at amazon: Iphone Speaker Docks.

Info From UnPlugged.
