“It would take less than the lifespan of the average mobile phone battery for our modern civilization to plunge itself into violent rioting and mass hysteria.”

We tried hard to turn this into a positive story but unfortunately reality wouldn’t let us.
Brace yourself for a grimm look on what our hunger for energy brought us in the past and what lies ahead.Check the site for extra insight on the energy issue.   We’ll be posting our solution to the problem, as far fetched as it may seem, and an interview we did with solar power expert Hermann Scheer.

We liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiike it!

Kegerator is a term used to describe a residential draft (draught) beer dispensing device. A keg, typically of beer, is stored in a refrigerated container in order to keep the keg chilled. The user is able to maintain a tapped keg in such a device for extended periods of time, usually a couple of months, without losing any quality in the taste of the beer. A kegerator may be purchased in its finished form or built from a re-purposed refrigerator or a freezer with special equipment. The term “Kegerator” is a portmanteau combining the words keg and refrigerator.

Wired wanted to pay tribute to the most extreme, tricked-out and awesome kegerators they have come across. Here are 3 of my favorites.  Check Wired for more.

The Octane 120

It has a high-output DLP projector, a 120 inch projector screen and comes with your choice of Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 or a gaming PC. Dream Arcades owner Mike Ware told Wired.com that the company is adding a removable arcade control panel and 200 classic arcade games, including Pac-man and Centipede.

The seat is adjustable, the steering wheel and shifter are leather-wrapped, the pedals have variable resistance, it can hold a full-size keg or two five-gallon kegs and, of course, there is a conveniently located drink holder directly below the dashboard tap so you can refill mid-game. read more

The Juice Box

This is the first portable Craigerator, called the Juice Box, and it’s so sweet that Craig is keeping it for himself. It has four taps (though it could fit up to eight) and can hold ice for two days in 100-degree weather. Locking legs allow it to stand on its own outside the truck bed. The CO2 canisters mount on the back. It even has an LCD light show. Read more.

The Arkeg

The Arkeg can only hold a five-gallon keg, but it does come with 69 classic arcade games including Mortal Kombat, Centipede and Joust. It has a PC, 24-inch high-def LCD screen, surround sound with subwoofer, WiFi, DVD player, jukebox, karaoke and a marquee logo that can pulsate to the music. All this for a cool $4,000.

“The idea for the Arkeg came after finishing an intense battle on a worn out Street Fighter II machine and pouring a beer from our kegerator,” Brant Myers, Co-founder of Allstarcade, said in a press release in August. “The two separate objects took up so much space, yet went together so perfectly, that it just made sense to try and merge them.” Read more

The MessengerMirror is an eye/sunglass-mounted cycling mirror.

MessengerMirror allows you to view things approaching from behind and increases your safety on a bicycle when cars are present. Cooked up by a cyclist who was looking for a cycling mirror and found the available products (T-a-L, 3rdi) were too expensive, had their design flaws, and all were too bulky to have in his face.

The MessengerMirror is very compact so adjust your expectations of field-of-view accordingly. New riders, plus those familiar with other cycling mirrors, will quickly adjust and develop a method to best utilize it. It is designed to be fit on the left side of glasses but could be easily modified for right side use.

Illustrator and conceptual thinker Norio Fujikawa gets full-marks for this radical Jetscooter concept. Based in San Fransisco the designer has a penchant for futuristic ideas, with retro styling, and transport innovation that might become a reality in, say 2025.

Some of his designs I really dig.  Enjoy!

The Inc Calendar

Ink Calendar” make use the timed pace of the ink spreading on the paper to indicate time.
The ink is absorbed slowly, and the numbers in the calendar are “printed” daily. One a day, they are filled with ink until the end of the month. A calendar self-updated, which enhances the perception of time passing and not only signaling it.

The Thinking Bubble

A mirror that takes the cartoon speech bubbles as a reference and acknowledge the fact that we think in front of mirrors. The mirror as a container which filled by our image and thoughts.

The Profile

A simple family of lamps inspired by aluminium extrusions.
All elements on the lamp are clipped on the profile reducing the number of holding parts. The cable, which is clipped on the central channel, covers the fixings on the wall and becomes the central element on the light, rather that something to hide.
“Profile” can be easily produced from an aluminium profile as a freestanding or wall mounted lamp.

“Dry-eye sufferers and glaucoma patients may soon be able to trade their messy eye drops for a contact lens that delivers medication gradually over time.
Researchers have been working for nearly a decade on drug-dispensing contact lenses that could deliver eye medication more effectively, but they’ve struggled to design a lens that releases a continuous supply of the meds. Now, scientists report that they’ve created a contact lens that can deliver a high concentration of antibiotic at a constant rate for more than 30 days.
The main way our lens differs is that it can provide large amounts of drug released at constant rates for long periods of time, which previous discoveries have not been able to do,” said drug-delivery researcher Daniel Kohane of Harvard Medical School, who co-authored the paper published in the July issue of Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science. Past lenses have only been able to release a small amount of drug over a long period of time, or a substantial amount of drug for a day or two, he said.” Read more

The chandelier/showerhead by Tannan Winter Design.

“This candle chandelier sits over a pedestal tub giving elegance and ambiance to the space; but also is completely functional as a showerhead.
The space where the chandelier/showerhead was going designed in a Victorian style bathroom. The Victorian Style has roots in Greek and Roman architecture. I wanted the chandelier to have those same roots; using the statue of Aphrodite as the base from which the chandelier/showerhead was designed keeps inspiration and feel consistent thought out the space.”

“After some 60 hours of wizardry with steel and used parts, artist Andrew Chase has created a mechanical cheetah that evokes the grace and power of its real-world counterpart.
The cheetah is part of an ecosystem in a six-year art project called the ‘Timmy universe.’ The project has, so far, led to a mechanical giraffe and an elephant. Chase who has shown the giraffe at crafts fairs earlier had priced it at $6000. No word on how much the cheetah will cost.”
