When you're trying to find that perfect card for that special someone, Valentine's Day is the perfect time to express your true feelings.

Chivalry Is Not Dead
Men, we need to prove to women of the world that chivalry is not dead. As this Russian video clearly displays, it is our duty as men to defend and protect our wives. If someone wrongs the woman that we love, it's our responsibility to right that wrong. I don't speak the language, but the video speaks the universal language of manliness. Enjoy.

Toyota's New Concept Car Looks like a Futuristic Wheelchair
"Toyota Motor's concept car "i-REAL" during a pre-event for the upcoming Tokyo Motor Show in Tokyo, 11 October 2007. The one-seat electric vehicle runs at a maximum speed of 30 kph in high-speed mode and moves slowly among pedestrians at similar eyesight in low-speed mode. " Source: AFPMy Two Cents: I think Toyota's new concept car isn't a car at all. Take a look, it's a futuristic wheelchair. Granted, it's a wicked cool wheelchair, but it's still a wheelchair. It goes only 20 miles an hour, so it won't be hitting the freeways anytime soon.
Why can't wheelchair companies create this thing? Wheelchairs are built by people who can walk... and they're afraid of getting sued. So because of that, they don't build cool wheelchairs.
Here are the things that would make this a terrific wheelchair!
- First, this woman is seated at nearly standing height... something wheelchair users would want.
- The wheelchair looks cool, and easily could be painted or customize on the outside to fit the user's personality.
- Big ass wheels. It looks like it could handle small bumps, and maybe even small curbs with ease.
- Cool microphone... I'm assuming that microphone has something to do with the wheelchair. Maybe not, but I'll soon so.
- I'm sure there is USB port and a hard drive in there somewhere. It probably plays iTunes.
- It's wicked fast 20 miles an hour is about 3X faster than the fastest wheelchair on the market.
- If the price tag is less than $25,000, it would be cheaper than a typical wheelchair.
Things that could suck about this futuristic wheelchair:
- Three wheels mean it will tip over on extremely uneven pavement or when colliding with a fat guy at the mall.
- You're going to have to raise your desk up on blocks.
- Too fat for doorways.
- Optional "hot Japanese girl" isn't covered by insurance.
I hope the Toyota power wheelchair will be on the market soon!

Weather Balloon flown 30km into space
A hobbyist flew a weather balloon to near-space, using off-the-shelf parts, with a payload of a GPS, digital camera, 900MHz radio, and SMS module. There are some amazing photos & videos on the site, near the peak of the flight you can actually see the blackness of space. Also, check out the .kmz file for loading into Google Earth.

I like John McCain.
I ran across this videowhen reading about Stephen Colbert running for President. I like John McCain a lot, and if he still involved when the Pennsylvania primary rolls around I'll probably vote for him. Unfortunately, he's probably too much of a straight talker, and is definitely too intelligent to get elected by the Republicans. Our party tends to vote for the charismatic leaders, rather than the deep thinkers.
He's the kind of guy who I think can beat Hillary Clinton in a head-to-head debate, but first he has to get past the primaries.
Anyhow, here's a video of him when he stopped by The Daily Show to visit Jon Stewart.

Friday Funnies: Silly Hats
I like hats, particularly baseball caps. I probably have two dozen baseball caps, and I only have two dozen because I limit myself only to "must-have" hats. I don't wear them every day anymore, but in college I was rarely seen without a ratty old New York Mets cap.
Since this post is not very interesting, and you probably don't care about my hat wearing habits, I'll just post this video that made me laugh.

World of Warcraft Memorial Tribute Video
I stumbled across this video on YouTube. It's actually a memorial tribute made from one player to another, but beyond that the video is awesome if you are a World of Warcraft player. Even if you don't play Warcraft, but you play EverQuest or any other massively multiplayer role-playing game, you're probably understand.
I laughed for about 10 minutes.
Let's hear what you think in the comments.
