San Francisco artist Tanya Vlach lost an eye in a car accident several years ago. And now she wants a webcam installed in her prosthetic presumably so she can catch the Simpsons later on in the night.
Tanya reasons that her aesthetic-only eye could become a source of
"augmented reality," and she's got a list of possible specs up on her
blog for would-be engineers to begin with. Just some of the things
mentioned for inclusion are: DVR capabilities, MPEG-4 compression, a
microSD slot, A/V out, and Bluetooth.
It would be cool to be Tanya now especially if Tanya were actually a guy. You could close your working eye and have the other opened while it records everything. Damn, did I just give her an idea? Monocular San Francisco artist wants webcam installed in her prosthetic eye [engadget]

The laughing thief decided to laugh harder instead of help his idiot friend open the lego safe box as he sat for a good 15 minutes to laugh. Finally they both left with nothing. Lego Safe Box wins!
Five double digit codes protect your valuables, and the dial goes both ways, so there's a left and right entry for each number -- hence, over 305 billion possible combinations. Moving the safe will trip motion sensors and set off an alarm, and bars inside strengthen the structure.

Hirohiko Yoshida, chairman of Japanese perverted-game maker Age Soft, went and pimped out his Lamborghini and Lancia Stratos with several of the hentai girls from the games that made him rich. Itashi is a growing fad in Japan, and consists of slathering one's car in manga characters. Its not a look I'd go for especially if I own a Lamborghini. More below:
