Kind of weird stuff but I guess it gets the brand out there.

Sound Wave Powered Phones?
OMG, this technology would be perfect for my girlfriend who has her cell phone permanently glued to her ear and is always low on battery. Just imagine a self-powering cell phone that never needs to be charged because it converts your own sound waves into the energy it needs to keep running. It’s not as far-fetched as it may seem thanks to the recent work of Tahir Cagin, a professor in the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University.
Amazing materials known in scientific circles as “piezoelectrics,” Cagin, whose research focuses on nanotechnology, has made a significant discovery in the area of power harvesting – a field that aims to develop self-powered devices that do not require replaceable power supplies, such as batteries.
I nominate my yappy girlfriend as the first beta tester for these.

Cyborg Eye Implant Wanted
Tanya Vlach, a San Francisco-based artist, lost her eye in a 2005 car accident, and now keeps a blog chronicling the “monocular life.” She’s got a real-enough looking prosthetic peeper, but Tanya’s a self-described “sci-fi geek,” and, with the approval of her doctor, she’s put out a call for engineers to build her a camera… for her fake eye.
Likening her possible future self (the one with the eye-cam installed) to a cyborg, Tanya reasons that her aesthetic-only eye could become a source of “augmented reality,” and she’s got a list of possible specs up on her blog for would-be engineers to begin with. Just some of the things mentioned for inclusion are: DVR capabilities, MPEG-4 compression, a microSD slot, A/V out, and Bluetooth. In other words, Tanya Vlach will be insanely cool and kinda weird? I think this should be a go!

Very Expensive Book, WoW!
If you have an extra $115,00 CAN lying around you might want to pick up a copy of this book.
The velvet-and marble-bound book will go on public display next Tuesday.
It takes six months to make each book, using Italian artisan skills dating to the Renaissance. The copy on display was donated to the library but more than 20 books have been sold.

Take a whiz with that prosthetic penis
Here is a new twist on an old appendage! wo men whose company sold a device known as the Whizzinator that helped men cheat on drug tests have pleaded guilty in federal court in Pittsburgh.
George Wills and Robert Catalano each pleaded guilty Monday to two conspiracy counts.
They owned the California-based Internet company Puck Technology.
The Whizzinator is a prosthetic penis that comes with a heating element and fake urine.
U.S. Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan’s office says the goal of it and another device called Number 1 was to help people pass drug tests. The devices were sold from 2005 to 2008.
The California men are scheduled to be sentenced in February and face up to eight years in prison, a half-million-dollar fine or both. I would rename this product as the pee-pee machine.
