Holy Tech!

I’m quite surprised at now my blog is turning out.  I’m not really into techie stuff (although I was once in the IT industry).  But I find myself increasingly drawn to news and information on technology.  Ok, maybe not the heavy duty stuff, but still tech stuff, you know.  Go look at my archives for several other posts on technology.

This post mixes religion and technology.  I had to highlight these products because I think that they are just too cool!

1.  The Radio by Ewa Bochen

2.  USB Digital Bible thumb drive keychain

3.  Black Cross MP3 player

4.  Virgin Mary thumb drive

5.  iPod headphones

6.  iBelieve (love the name!) MP3 player

Hallelujah!

Amen!

The Unbreakable Umbrella

I had always thought that an umbrella would make a good weapon for self-defense.  Well, I’m half-right – an ordinary umbrella would not do.  We’ll need The Unbreakable Umbrella!

Check out this video demonstration given by Thomas Kurz.

This umbrella is used by the Presidential Security Group (PSG) of the Philippines President, so says The Real Self-Defense website, with pictures as proof too.

I found the video hilarious, particularly the part when the umbrella was used to split the water melon.  Kurz, dressed in cool, all black clothes, whacking the life out of the punching bag, and splitting the water melon somehow made me laugh out loud.  But with a price tag of USD 180, this certainly wasn’t supposed to be funny.

Now I know how Aunt May in Spiderman 2 managed to hold on for dear life with her umbrella.  She probably had one of these!  Hmm… and no money to pay rent?  Looks like Peter Parker is not the only one in the family with a secret?

 

Creepy Cool Robots!

The robots from Boston Dynamics are simply fantastic.  Take a look at the videos of two of them (BigDog and LittleDog):

Go to their website for other equally fantastic robots.

For some reason, I got the creeps while watching them move.  I mean, if I were out for a walk alone and encountered these, I’ll probably go all weak and pass out.  The way they moved made them look like breathing, living things!

It feels good to see how far technology has come (pity about the whirring noise, though).

 

Uber Cool! I want! I want!

Just take a look at this sport plane (no, it’s not a toy!)!

It’s the ICON A5 from ICON Aircraft and can go on land, sea and air.  See more pics here.  Super cool, right?!

And play around with it here.  Super cool right?!

Ok, ok, I’m gonna have to stop saying that.

Read more about it at this site.  It costs about USD139,000.  Not too pricey isn’t it?  You can even order it online!

I’m so gonna order one now!

But wait!  I don’t have a pilot’s licence and would the stuffy government authorities allow this?  ERP and COE takings will drop?  Or by the time they allow this, I’ll already be a great-grandma?  And it’ll already be model ICON A500?

Hmm… I think I can be very happy with a remote-control toy version of the same thing.  I will be the envy of all when I take it to the park.  Super cool, right?!

And hands off, Little Guy!
