Ever wanted to operate heavy equipement ?

Introducing a «playground» where you get to operate heavy machinery. COOL ! But, they call it a playground for MEN : Männerspielplatz. Geesh. Not fair. And so wrong for business. I'm sure women would really get a kick out of it too ! I would just LOVE to get my hands on the control sticks of this baby !!!

Swim like a dolphin... really !

Quotes from the article:

«This new dolphin-inspired fin promises to fuel the biggest change in human-powered swimming in decades.»

«Using the Lunocet, some swimmers are close to being able to breach completely out of the water, like whales.»

«This design uses the largest leg muscles instead of just the calves and ankles, says DARPA Defense Sciences PowerSwim Program Manager Lt. Col. John Lowell. Top speed is about 2.5 miles (four kilometers) per hour, which still works with scuba gear, but more important, the PowerSwim is 70 to 75 percent efficient at translating effort into propulsion.»

Sweet foot note : In the article, there's a quote from a marine biologist... and his name is Frank Fish !!!

Out of the box...

Good idea. We should first avoid using packaged water as much as possible. But when you're stuck, this is probably the better choice!
