♫ Flintstones, Meet the Flintstones... ♫

Well not really, but this is a human powered car.  You sort of pump the handle and that gives it power.  It looks like it goes pretty fast and doesn't seem to hard to steer.  I read somewhere that with multiple people it can go up to 60 mph.  They are expected to cost around $15,000.  Pretty cool.

Sharpie Liquid Pencil

Sharpie has come up with a writing implement that writes like a pen, but it erasable like a pencil.  At least for the first 3 days, after that it becomes permanent ink.  I think this would come in handy for writing in my checkbook register, or doing crossword puzzles or sudokus.  I haven't seen them in stores yet, though the article says they were coming on the market in September.

Space Invaders Love Seat

This designer created a love seat in the shape of one of the little guys on the old Atari game, Space Invaders.  I wonder if it's comfortable?  I think it would be something cool to have if you had a game room.

Etsy Favorites

Things you can tell about me by looking at my Etsy Favorites:

• I like flowers (especially Daisies).
• I like trees & leaves.
• I like green things.
• I like things that are re-used (especially if it's not the original intended purpose).

Elliptical Bike

I saw this and thought it was pretty cool.  It's called the ElliptiGO 8S and it's the world's first elliptical bike.   Here's a video, so you can see how cool it is.  The best part is that it "provides a low-impact alternative to outdoor running that maintains the core running experience without the damage to the body."  Looks fun!
