then. See you all soon!
Amateur video of an insanely big 728 ton stabilizing ball
at the 88th floor of the Chinese Taipei 101 building. This
video was taken during the May 12th Sichuan Province
earthquake and that humongus ball starts moving quite
a bit, not to mention the entire building but you wouldn’t
know it by watching the video.
Creepy.

has actually been admit-zero. I presume we had a server
problem or something but hey! it always fixes itself, woohoo!
Make luigi holding his plate of spagetti or one
of several other little folded paper people. Make
one, make em all. I’m sure there are more on the
way too.
Try this, make one and place him on your cubical.
Then make a new one the next day or week and
display that one for a while. Soon you’ll have the

Honda’s Freewatt provides heat for the home with
the added benefit of electricity production.
The ultra-quiet MCHP unit produces 3.26 kilowatts
of heat and 1.2 kilowatts of electric power. Further,
it allows homeowners to reduce their utility bills and
curb carbon dioxide emissions while improving
overall energy efficiency and comfort.
Honda’s Freewatt also allows homeowners to literally
sell unused electric power back to the power grid in their
community.
Initial sales of the heat and power units will be targeted
at customers living in the Northeastern United States
in conjunction with select local utility providers due to
the cold climate and high heating demand in the region
which allows the system to provide the greatest benefit.
1.2 kilowatts doesn’t really seem like a lot of energy but
if your unit runs all night when your house power use is
down, your meter will probably run backward… Nice.
