Thanks to Sharma for telling me about the Time Magazine 2002 Best Inventions website. This gives me the theme for my like/not like list for the day:
Time 2002 Best Inventions I like:
-Hy-Wire Car: This is the best concept car I have seen. Ever. It doesn't just take the car in a evolutionary step forward, but changes the way we think about cars. I hope this is how cars look in 10-20 yrs.
-Date Rape Drug Spotter: I think it is really sad that it has become so bad at bars that this product is neccessary, but if it makes women safer from the jackass with ketamine, then all the better.
-Roomba Vacuum: I admit that this is probably a bit of a over kill, but since cleaning the floors is my chore, I have to like this.
-AeroGel: The lightest solid on earth. Wow.
-Here are some others I like.
Time 2002 Best Invention I don't like so much:
-Dog Translator: What a load of crap and a total waste of money. We all know the dogs are just saying "Hey!".
-Tooth Phone: Ok, I know that cell phones are getting small, but this just creeps me out.
-SputMik: It is a cute microphone. Too cute. I just can't imagine this being passed around a city council meeting.
-Tomato Vaccine: One small step for pharms, one giant leap towards Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!
