Weird Microwave "Robot" Makes Perfect S'mores

S'mores are definitely one of my all-time favorite snack foods and this weird Progressive International Microwavable S’Mores Maker claims to make 2 perfect s'mores in 30 seconds flat because the little "arms" keep the marshmallows from expanding to much. I still think you need a fire to make perfect s'mores, not some gadget that looks like a melted Mr. Potato Head—but if you insist on throwing your money away, the PIMSM can be had for $6.95.

Cool/Weird Stuff To Do On a Cluster?

Gori writes "I'm a researcher at a university. Our group mainly does Agent Based Modeling of interdisciplinary problems (think massive simulations where technology, policy, and economics meet). Recently, we managed to get a bunch of money for a High Performance Cluster to run our stuff on. The code is mostly written in Java.

Art By General Motors - Radical Renderings - August 2006

We're going to get weird this month. OK, maybe "weird" isn't the best word to use. How about "outlandish," "cutting edge," or "fascinating"? Typically, we cover one artist per issue, and the work tends to be vehicles that are creative, unique customs, or forward-looking OE concepts rendered by someone working on the outside of the auto industry and looking in.

Weird Dual-Screen Laptop for Sale at eBay

I purchased this a few years back as a project but it just ended up sitting in my closet. This is a rare Xentex Dual Screen Laptop. Each screen is 13.3" and one pivots so that one can be facing you and the other one facing the person sitting on the other side of the laptop. This was a prototype and is missing some parts but does turn on so I have no doubt someone can make this work with the right skills.
