This guy is awesome
Pendleton Ward is possibly one of the most creative/imaginative artists I’ve seen on the internet. I wish I had thought of this movie.

Wired 15.02: RoboCop, PhD
Peter Weller (RoboCop/Buckaroo Bonzai) left Hollywood and went to study Italian Renaissance in Italy. He liked it so much, he’s on his way to a PhD. Now he teaches classes on Ancient History and Hollywood and hosts History Channel Shows.
I wonder if I could host History Channel shows if I get my PhD? Maybe Discovery HD?
Possible Summer Cabin? - A Low Impact Woodland Home
A guy in Wales built a house in a hill. No big surprise…people have been doing that since the 70’s. The cool thing is it cost around $3000 and looks like a Hobbit house. I’m not sure I could live there permanently, but, it would make a sweet vacation home.
Not quite a jetpack...
but I’d still take it!

Unsafe is Safe: European Cities Do Away with Traffic Signs
Some towns in Europe are taking the bold move of removing all street signs in order to foster personal responsibility and increase courteousness while driving.
What's more, the glut of prohibitions is tantamount to treating the driver like a child and it also foments resentment. He may stop in front of the crosswalk, but that only makes him feel justified in preventing pedestrians from crossing the street on every other occasion.
I doubt the US could follow due to our tort laws and income generated from parking tickets/ traffic violations.
