In another installment of “WANT NOW”, here’s a concept über-boat from some folks in Turkey.

Volitan Concept Boat Uses Wind Power and Solar Energy

Ecotard philosophies aside, I’d get one (that is, if I had the option and ability to)  just on its sharp looks and the number of illegal hacks that can be performed. Of course, the ultimate hack would be to brace up the wind structure such that it can actually fly, or at least hydroplane. The solar panels are a great touch for cruising around in the open ocean.

There’s not enough details for me to figure out where to stick the giant outrunner(s), though.

More photos from the affiliated website! Where can I get some giant 1920px renderings of this sucker?

MITHenge

Well, the last good day for MITHenge in November was today. I didn’t get to it the previous good days (around Nov. 9th to today) because most of the weekend was cloudy and I… well, forgot.

So here’s my best attempt with my not-too-calibrate-able Kodak camera. The quality and visibility of the effect is poor because

1. I did not have any sort of stabilization device, and it turns out the ground isn’t really smooth

2. About 80,000 other people were present and situated down the hallway.

3. There’s a fucking piece of paper right smack in the middle of my frame!
