Science Comedian – the Heat in Arizona
September 27th, 2010
I had a fantastic time performing at the Sacramento Comedy Spot this past Friday. We had a packed house in an intimate room – and they were just the perfect science-loving crowd. Or, I should say, science-comedy-loving crowd.
The opening act was the hilariously geeky Nick Pettigrew (link is to a previous set of his), and I did a whopping hour and forty minutes, including some Q&A. I’ll be putting more clips online soon. Here’s the first.
My fever-dream inspired by the unbearable heat of an Arizona summer. Some might fantasize of bikinis and water sports; I can only imagine global devastation, mutation, human extinction…
Toilet of the Future!
January 21st, 2010
If it were biologically necessary for movie characters to go to the bathroom, this would be the toilet in Blade Runner and 2001. I half-expected the designer to be Syd Mead.
For futurists and conservationists (and other people who use toilets)! Sleek, integrated design – compact enough for an apartment in Manhattan or Tokyo. Plus, it re-uses water from the sink to flush the toilet! It’s the all-in-one loo:
The Home Core concept integrates the toilet bowl, sink, mirror and a vanity table into one. However, this is not the central theme for this all-in-one-loo. There is a water storage tank right below the sink, where you can choose to store the currently used water or allow it to drain off. (The stored water is meant for flushing the pot) Also, the water pressure from the tap can be moderated to four different levels, giving you the satisfaction of conserving some resource.
