Yamaha Deus Ex Machina Motorcycle Concept, Feel Like An Alien Bot With The Exoskeleton - Gizmo Watch


Yamaha Deus Ex Machina Motorcycle Concept, Feel Like An Alien Bot With The Exoskeleton - Gizmo Watch: "You know what I like most about concept vehicles? The possibility that they might not make it onto the streets at all! Which is why I’m all geared up to wax eloquent about this exoskeleton-ish Yamaha-branded Deus Ex Machina concept motorcycle created by Art Center Pasadena student Jake Loniak. Its so super cool to see a guy take all his impressions of sci-fi movies and create a monstrous bot-like bike that looks very good on paper (only) with its ultra-capacitators and nano- phosphate batteries; a body made up of 36 pneumatic muscles along with a spine consisting of seven artificial vertebrae, and the fact that the green vehicle can recharge itself in 15 minutes and last for a good hour with top speeds of 75mph! Of course I’d be really disappointed if this thing ever hit mainstream production just because of the fact that this thing defies everything we so love about bikes (heard of something called aerodynamics, Jake?), including the fact that they don’t make us look like parasitic, blood-sucking aliens!"

Obviuos: Norman Bel Geddes, o designer do futuro ( Design Moderno Industria Bel Geddes Streamlining Projectos ): "O moderno design industrial é uma disciplina fascinante onde as ideias mais loucas podem vir a ser realizadas. Surgido efectivamente no início do século XX, rapidamente floresceu e se impôs como indispensável, sobretudo no período que decorreu entre as duas guerras, os anos '20 e '30. Nesta época, poucas pessoas houve que tenham sido tão influentes como Norman Bel Geddes, prolífico criador de objectos que são hoje tão comuns no nosso dia-a-dia que julgamos que sempre existiram. Foi ele 'apenas' o autor de conceitos que permanecem actuais como também estabeleceu um padrão estético que dominou grande parte do design do século XX: o streamlining. Mas tinha também um espírito imaginativo e visionário que o levou a ir mais além e a propor grandes e fantásticos projectos..."

Paying to Suffer a Peace of Mind


Insurance companies are suckers.

The whole system is rotten. Corrupted.


Let's talk about car insurance for instance, the biggest bug bear of all.

You cannot even get your car on the road without one.

When you have one, you then wished you didn't. But you CAN'T.


If let's say you had an accident and YOU CAUSED an accident, OK, you yourself is fault and you'd have to foot the bill for damages incurred on the other party.
And as a result of an insurance claim, your premium goes up.

Now, what about a situation where you were at the receiving end of a errant driver? And an insurance claim is made? You WILL STILL have a RAISED PREMIUM to foot.

I mean , W. T. F ???!!!


Why should any ONE pay for damages caused by others, besides already being the very victims themselves?


It makes No Sense.

It is NONSENSE.


Q

>> We're just paying for the mere existence of these f**kers. :*

Blame the Parents


I was put in a Situation where I had to encounter and deal with what is possibly the most violent set of juvenile delinquents this side of the Law.

I was in a position to either break or held in esteem.

I managed the later . A pat on my back indeed.

The vulgarities and the crudeness.

A shocker definitely . And in retrospect, Blame the Parents.

Their lives are screwed because the parents only know how to procreate and not create.


I realized straight away that I needed to step up to be the calm and fatherly/brotherly figure and not reciprocate violent behavior . Because violence begets violence.

I nailed the 'Indian Chief' and all settled. :-)

I pity these street kids. They need the attention.

They really do.

The only Break is Death itself


A sudden lost of my Dearest. A culture shock brought upon by a change in working environment. A financial wreck.

This period in my life right now Messed up.


I'm Messed Up.

It's like everything has been overwhelming and undermining this Soul.

My nerves are frayed and my heart is weakened.


Every moment right now is with a batted breath.

I find myself pacing and racing.


When will I find Peace Ville and Comfort Zone?
(There is no progression. There is no efficiency. Things I need RIGHT NOW.)

Held back and stalled... is frustrating to keep a brave front.

Who will understand?

Q

PS: I'm possibly on my spiral way down to depression or complete insanity...

Asus To Launch Eee PC 901, Bettering The 900 Maybe! - Gizmo Watch


Asus To Launch Eee PC 901, Bettering The 900 Maybe! - Gizmo Watch: "The sub-notebook space is getting hotter! With MSI announcing the release date of its Eee PC 900 killer - the Wind, it wouldn’t have been hard for us to guess that Asus is not going to take things lying down. Despite the rave reviews for the 900, Asus is not content. Taking the model to the next level of functionality, the company is soon releasing the Eee PC 901. Apparently, the design will be retained, albeit with improved features like a new row of buttons between the keyboard and battery. A power plug on the left side would also feature in the new model. Watch this space ‘coz we are expecting Asus to announced additional features on its new sub-notebook.
