BigDog Robot
Monday, March 17th, 2008This is the most amazing robot I’ve ever seen by far. Dubbed the BigDog by its creators at Boston Dynamics. It has a 340 pound payload capacity, plenty to carry ammunition and bullets galore, or water and food for humanitarian missions. I would sh*t my pants if I came upon one of these in the woods!

Raytheon Silent Guardian
Tuesday, September 25th, 2007Raytheon has developed a new “non-lethal” weapon called the Silent Guardian. It can shoot a microwave beam 1/2 mile and scatter people by causing extreme pain. The crazy thing about this gizmo is that it doesn’t leave a mark, which leads me to believe that this is going to become the most prolific torture device the world has ever seen, making full-scale torture able to fit in an agent’s pocket, torture can be conducted anywhere/anytime. I’m sure this device will be put to good use keeping our troops safe, but I am also certain that it will be widely misused. Here’s more information. The picture below is a sample device at a trade show, the full sized version is the size of a plasma TV.

Friday, June 29th, 2007Million dollar idea: a glass toaster! You’ll never burn another slice of toast because you can see it’s progress. The outside of the toaster stays cool, so it’s safe to touch. So simple… so brilliant.
