I was just outside trying to shoot a water rocket I bought at a science museum, recalling the
heady days I once spent shooting a similar rocket into the air when I was a young lad. Sadly, the
poorly built rocket failed and the pump started just sucking in water, leading me to the Internet
for solace.
The sweet Internet doth offer succor, friends, in the form of the Aquapod Bottle Launcher. While you could just make your own water rocket
out of a water and some piping, this $24.99 kit allows you, with the aid of a soda bottle and
bicycle pump, to become a mini Goddard in your own back forty.
The Aquapod is the most exciting and safest bottle launcher available. This intriguing hobby toy
requires no
assembly and is ready to launch with the addition of a regular 2-liter plastic soda bottle and an
ordinary
bicycle pump. The Aquapod has a florescent orange futuristic one piece design that captures the
eye instantly.
Not only does the Aquapod launch a bottle up to 100 feet in the air, but no other launcher out
there has a built
in safety valve that releases pressure at 60psi in order to keep everyone safe from
over-pressurizing the entire
system.
Just fill a 2-liter plastic bottle half with water and secure it over the white launch tube
upside down. Using
any ordinary pump, pressurize the Aquapod through the valve stem until the check valve inside the
front leg
releases pressure and water. Then, stand back with the strap in your hand that is attached to a
15 foot string
and give a short, quick tug on the string to launch the bottle high into the air.
The Aquapod is built with high quality thick durable plastic and is designed to last.
The Aquapod is also available in bulk in case you want to start your own hamster space program.

Remember mood rings? Do you have one but often forget it at home?
Do you wish you could use your mood ring to instantly take the mood of your friends and family --
and share those moods on Facebook!
Then this app is for you.
The Mood Ring App uses complicated facial recognition algorithms* to analyze the moods of people in
photos you take.
Just take a picture of someone and the app does the rest. You can find out if you or your friend is
feeling red, blue, green, etc. Ten moods in all!
Don’t have an iPhone with a camera? Don’t worry!
On your iPhone and iPod Touch the Mood Ring App uses the same complicated facial recognition
algorithms to analyze the moods of people in the photos from your photo library.
And you can also find out what’s on your dog or cat’s mind -- Just take a photo of
them!
Don’t want to take a picture? Don’t worry, this app can also analyze moods by touch. It
does this by taking advantage of the galvanic skin response technology* that comes with every
iPhone and iPod Touch!
And best of all, you can share your moods on Facebook!
In addition, you can also do a little ‘magic’ with this app. Want to
‘prove’ to your friend that he/she is feeling ... let’s say
.... orange? On the settings screen select the mood ‘orange’ and
then analyze your friends mood (by photo or finger). When the
‘analyzing...’ screen appears just press the word
‘analyzing’! It’s that simple. When your friend’s mood
appears it will be orange (or whatever color you picked).
Have a little fun with your friends! A great ice breaker at parties and a cool app to show off your
iPhone.

Le skipper et son équipage ont fait le tour du monde à la voile en 48 jours et 7
heures, à la moyenne de 18,76 noeuds. Ils ont coupé la ligne d'arrivée, samedi
soir, avec plus de deux jours d'avance sur le record établi en 2005 par Bruno Peyron sur
«Orange II».
I was 18 years old when they’d captured the first howlers.
Mom and I stayed up to see the first footage of them flash across the TV screen on the 11
O’clock news, blurry images of hollow-eyed men and women wearing orange jumpsuits, their
arms hanging limply and obediently at their sides. I felt a pang of disappointment. From all her
stories I expected them to be fierce, savage, proud creatures struggling and straining at their
chains. I expected them to be warriors. They looked no more savage than my science teacher at
school. Mom said I shared a connection to them. I didn’t know what she meant.
On the screen, three figures stood proudly at a podium adorned with microphones from various news
agencies. My mother spit down at her feet when the camera panned over their faces
– two men, one woman, all impeccably groomed. One of the men wore a military
uniform decorated with medals, and it was he who spoke to the camera.
“We’ve prepared a small statement regarding the hybrids and then we’ll move to
your questions.”
My mother spit again and took a long swallow of gin straight out of the small glass bottled held
in her hand. I’d never seen her drink before.
“It is with great pleasure that we can confirm we have successfully located and retrieved
all of the hybrids. The last remaining rogue tribes were identified and brought into protective
custody for their integration into the United States Military Evolutionary Hybrid Unit. The
success of the device used to free these hybrids from their condition continues to prove
effective and provide a stability and peace of mind these individuals will not have ever known.
All of them have been offered training and assistance and the opportunity to serve this great
nation, and we can confirm we have 100% uptake on this offer. The public is safe once again
– if not safer. We believe these hybrids will make the finest soldiers in the
history of the United States military forces. My colleagues and I will take your questions now,
on the understanding we cannot reveal information that is classified.”
Immediately, a flurry of questions came from the mob of journalists off camera. My mother turned
off the TV before I could hear any of the replies.
“Why’d you turn it off?”
She sat there in the dark for several long seconds before answering me.
“Because they’re lying, Ben. About everything. All the stories I’ve told you.
All of their history. Does any of that suggest to you that they would willingly give in to
slavery and bondage? That they would agree to serve those who rape the land, and poison the water
and kill the innocent?”
I opened my mouth to speak, to tell her no I did not think they would, but she was quick to
interject.
“And do you think they’ve really caught all of them?”
She looked over my shoulder as she said the words, eyes fixed on something behind me. And that
something began to move, causing the hairs on the back of my neck to stand up like orderly
soldiers.
“Mom?”
I turned quickly to look behind and stood frozen at the sight before me. A woman more bone than
skin prowling forward on bare feet. Her movements were alien and animalistic and savage. She spat
haughty words at me in Russian that I didn’t understand.
I thought her the most beautiful thing I’d seen in my life.
“Meet the resistance Ben,” my mother murmured. “Meet Katja, your mate.”
Tons of sand turned Beijing's sky orange as the strongest sandstorm this year hit northern China, a

Relish the last throes of winter with a simple, warming stew. The joy of these slow-motion
casseroles is that they are fantastic value and the cook is almost redundant
Winter is turning into spring. All my favourite bits of winter are still here: waking up in a
freezing bedroom; the sight of snowdrops at the dark end of the garden; the clear thinking that
seems to go hand in hand with ice-white skies. But here and there are the occasional signs of the
new season emerging, the odd shaft of sunshine on your back or a redcurrant leaf unfurling in the
fruit patch.
Spring is a long way off in the kitchen, and winter food is still what I want on a daily basis.
Thick stews and bean casseroles, sticky puddings, bottle-green cabbages and root vegetables all
the sweeter for spending a little time subzero. Spring may be in the air, but for those who cook
from locally grown ingredients there might as well still be snow on the ground.
All this means there is time to indulge in big food from deep, steaming pans. A chance to bask,
for just a little longer, in the heart-warming glow that comes from cooking cheap ingredients
slowly. The sort of food you need a ladle and a bowl for.
What I really like about this slow-motion cooking is the way so much of it comes into being with
so little help from us. We may spend a little time putting these dishes together, but after that
the food tends to get on with things for itself. The cook becomes virtually redundant. I'm
talking about the sort of recipes for which only cheap cuts will work. Cuts with a bone. A ham
hock or a lamb shank. A row of neck chops or a ring of oxtail. The bits of the animal that come
with jelly and cartilage, fat and sinews to break down in the long slow cooking and enrich
everything they touch.
This is sublime winter's afternoon cooking: a few onions softened slowly in bacon fat, dripping
or butter then used to add sweetness to the bargain-basement cuts of meat and bone, a chorizo
maybe or a Toulouse sausage heavy with garlic, pancetta in the piece or a lump of Polish sausage.
Suppers that involve cheap meat made luxurious by slow cooking and a backbone of some sort of
pulse or another – boiled black-eyed beans, butter beans, haricots or
borlotti. Little more is needed in the way of shopping: a bunch of herbs including bay, thyme, a
stick of celery, perhaps, then covered with water or some very light stock. It needs a peaceful
skimming with a draining spoon to remove any froth, followed by a long, slow session in the oven.
Rhubarb aside, there is little to please the fruit lover at this point in the year (though there
are truly amazing pineapples about), so I raided the pantry again this week for plump dried
fruits. Figs will bake to a silky mouthful or sit calmly plumping up on the hob in water, apple
juice or wine. This week I paired them with honey and redcurrant jelly, a sweet, shining sauce to
be eaten as it is, or perked up with a mixture of orange-scented yogurt. Winter food with just
the tiniest hint of spring.
LAMB SHANKS AND BLACK-EYED BEANS
I say black-eyed beans, but you could use haricot or chickpeas if that is what you have to hand.
Serves 4
500g black-eyed beans
2 bay leaves
a little olive oil
4 lamb shanks
3 medium onions
3 small sprigs of thyme
4 plump cloves of garlic
2 heaped tbsp plain flour
750ml stock or, at a push, water
For the crust:
150g fresh white breadcrumbs
a handful chopped parsley
a little olive oil
DIRECTIONS
Soak the beans in cold water overnight to plump them up. The next day, drain them and bring to
the boil in deep water together with the bay leaves and a good glug of olive oil. Boil hard for
10 minutes, then reduce the heat so they simmer merrily till they are tender yet retain their
shape and some bite – a matter of 30-35 minutes or so. Drain the beans in a
colander and set aside.
Season the lamb shanks and lightly colour them in a little oil – 2 tbsp should
do – in a heavy-based casserole. Once they are pale gold, remove them, but
leave their cooking fat behind. Peel the onions, cut them in half and then cut each half into
thick segments. Let these soften in the pan over a medium heat, adding a little more oil if there
is less than a couple of spoonfuls of fat left. As the onions soften, add the thyme sprigs and
the garlic, peeled and finely sliced. When all is soft and translucent, stir in the flour and
leave to colour lightly for 2 or 3 minutes before gradually stirring in the stock to make a
thick, oniony sauce. Set the oven at 180C/gas mark 4.
Tip the cooked, drained beans in with the onions, then tuck in the lamb and any juices from the
plate, and season with salt and black pepper. Simmer for 30 minutes partially covered with a lid,
stirring from time to time to check that the beans are not sticking. Add more stock if you feel
it needs it.
To make the crust, mix the breadcrumbs and parsley with 3 or 4 tbsp of olive oil, then scatter
over the top of the casserole. Transfer to the oven, covered loosely with foil, for 60 minutes or
until the lamb is tender. Remove the foil and let the crust crisp up for 10-15 minutes or so.
DIRECTIONS
Sit the dried figs, cores up, in a saucepan – there is no need to soak them
first. Scatter over the cranberries or cherries and tuck in the vanilla pod. Pour over enough
water to reach the neck of the figs, then spoon in the honey.
Bring to the boil, then immediately turn down the heat, partially cover with a lid (you don't
want the liquid to boil away) and leave to simmer for 20 minutes or until the figs are full and
soft.
Remove the fruit to a bowl or individual serving dishes. Turn up the heat and get the liquid
boiling. Add the redcurrant jelly and continue boiling until the liquid has reduced to a few rich
tablespoons – a matter of 5 minutes or so. Keep your eye on it.
Spoon the warm syrup over the figs and serve with the yogurt cream below.
For the yogurt cream:
100ml double cream
150ml strained yogurt
grated zest of a small orange
Whisk the cream till thick. Stir in the yogurt and orange zest
Attention baseball fans, the date that is no doubt etched
in your brain — the start of the 2010 Major League Baseball Season — is fast
approaching. To get you ready for April 4 (when the Boston Red Sox will take on the reigning
World Series champion New York Yankees at Fenway Park) we’re pitching you five handpicked
iPhone apps that will hit a home run with baseball fans.
If you are partial to America’s national sport — and let’s face it, it’s
almost unpatriotic not to be — then these apps are an absolute must for your iPhone or iPod
touch. However, in case we’ve struck out and missed any of your faves, then do let us know
in the comments below.
Although criticized for its $15 price tag, MLB’s official iPhone app is a great all-rounder
for fans, and an even better option for fans that have a paid-up for MLB.TV because, with
portable access to your MLB.TV account, you can watch live streaming games on the go. As with
last season’s offering, anyone can use the app to listen live to games, as well as get a
virtual idea of what’s happening at the park with MLB’s blow-by-blow Gameday updates.
The app also offers scores and stats, as well as some in-game highlights and a video library
that’s searchable by both player and team. If you really can’t stretch to that $15,
then a free “lite” version (MLB.com At Bat Lite) offers real-time MLB scores,
schedules, news and standings — but no audio or video — that will keep you informed
through to the end of 2010 World Series.
If you’re the type of fan that can rattle off ground ball to fly ball ratios and stolen
base percentages like Rain Man reciting phone numbers, then quite simply you will love this app.
Claiming to offer the most detailed player statistics available on an iPhone app, FanGraphs will
let you look back and analyze every major player in baseball history, as well as look forward
with live win probability graphs based on game data for the 2010 season.
Favorite players can be tracked with full, live box scores that link through to past stats, every
play can be analyzed to see how it impacts the game, and there’s even up-to-date advanced
fielding metrics via FanGraph’s “Ultimate Zone Ratings.”
It could be argued that the stadium is as much a character in baseball as the opposing teams or
the crowd. A celebration of the nation’s ballparks is offered in one neat little app
— Ballpark Envi — spanning baseball’s geography as well as its history from
Shibe Park to the new Yankee Stadium. Browsable by team, or by American and National League,
every current Major League baseball stadium is detailed with stadium pics and slide shows,
seating charts (super useful for booking tickets) as well as the ability to see the park’s
location on a map.
Whether you want to glimpse Dodger Stadium’s wavy roofs on the outfield pavilions or the
orange foul poles of the Mets’ new Citi Field this app will give you an insider glimpse of
America’s amazing ballparks with all their quirks and characteristics.
If you consider a baseball scorebook will set you back $5 at the absolute minimum (and more if
you buy it at the park) then the $10 price tag for this app does not seem quite so steep. There
are a dearth of 99 cent alternatives available in the App Store, but for looks and an intuitive
interface (the app works on an “interview” premise asking you for all the data it
needs to build a complete picture of the game) the iScore Baseball Scorekeeper is the champ.
As well as appealing to those hardcore fans that like to sit and score every game, this is also a
good option for those new to baseball scorekeeping – you don’t have to learn all the
abbreviations and symbols and iScore offers a full set of tutorial
videos to get you using the app like a pro.
If you want to keep your favorite Major League Baseball team in your pocket then FanMisery.com
offers an Index App for each and every MLB team. Working on the basis that being a fan is in fact
misery (the agony of defeat and all that jazz) the apps make sure you are kept as absolutely
up-to-date as possible with a comprehensive set of stats, opinions and news drawn from national
and local papers, broadcast media and blogs.
One nice touch is that if a blog or news source you follow isn’t currently included in the
indexing, the developer (Discover Motion) will add it in for you on request — just the kind
of helpful option that warms the cockles of an iPhone owner’s heart.
I love blues mixed with oranges. I have ever since I watched Jawbreaker for the first
time, and was desperately jealous of Julie and her funky bedding. And, lucky me, I've been able to
enjoy this combination all over the place these days. It's a popular modern color combination, and
has become a beloved contrast in Hollywood's world of film-tweaking. However, as blogger Into the
Abyss points out, it's overtaking Hollywood.
Abyss writer Todd Miro has shared a pretty excellent account of how this teal-orange phenomenon
came to be, and some of mainstream cinema's worst offenders. He explains how Oh
Brother, Where Art Thou? was the first feature to get scanned into a computer and put
through a Digital Intermediary (DI) process, which allows filmmakers to control the color of every
element in a film. This lead to complimentary color theory (where flesh tones thrive with teal)
being implemented in many big-screen flicks, no genre being safe -- the horror and gloom of
Wolfman, the superhero ways of Iron Man 2, the digital wonder of Tron 2,
the retro laughs of Hot Tub Time Machine, and the prize for "one of the worst examples of
unchecked teal and orange stupidity" --
Transformers 2.
So, keep an eye out next time you pop a disc into a player or hit the cineplex, you may just find
yourself drowning in a sea of teal and orange. If you've noticed the phenomenon before, what flicks
do you find to be the worst offenders?

Bouger notre Education Nationale pour l'adapter à l'économie numérique, n'est pas
une mince affaire...
Mais Jean Paul, dans son petit coin, s'y est attelé. Il n'est pas le seul (il y en a
quelques autres). Structures hiérarchiques lourdes, syndicats ... Mais telle une poule
qui a trouvé un couteau, notre Education Nationale observe...
Jean Paul est enseignant à Lyon. Il est professeur de gestion en section "design de mode"
(Lycée La Martinière Diderot). Il intègre des mondes virtuels dans des
dispositifs d'apprentissage en présentiel... Pourquoi a-t-il choisi la
plateforme Assemblive
(déjà passé au e-billautshow) ? Est-ce vraiment un cours qu'il fait dans ce monde
virtuel ? Comment fonctionne la mécanique ? Ses étudiants sont-ils intéressés
? (oui car ce sont des digital natives, pas besoin de leurs expiiquer comment cela
fonctionne...). Etc
A l'avenir n'y aura-t-il que des classes virtuelles ? Quel serait le rapport entre
l'éducation traditionnelle et l'éducation virtuelle ? Jean Paul en virtuel a des
participants qui viennent d'autres pays ... Pourrait-on mettre en oeuvre une université
francophone virtuelle ? Peut-on adapter la mécanique de Jean Paul à d'autres
matières ? Le virtuel est-il plus "productif" que le traditionnel (les éléves
apprennent-ils plus vite et mieux ?). La visiophonie apporte-t-elle un plus ? Quel serait
l'impact d'un système éducatif virtuel sur l'environnement durable (bonne question -
merci de l'avoir posée..).
Différences entre le e-learning 1.0 et l'enseignement en monde virtuel 3D ? "Quand j'anime
des cours virtuels le soir, ce n'est pas prévu dans mes statuts"... Que pensent les
syndicats de l'Education Nationale de tout cela ? Quid du temps statutaire et du temps
numérique... Si vous étiez à la place du Ministre de l'Education Nationale, que

I caught up with Kieran Hannon the other day. He was in the Bay Area for a meeting with the Irish
prime minister (he's on the board of Enterprise Ireland) and I realized it had been a good few
years since I had last seen him.
He used to be co-managing director of Grey Advertising, then had gone off to Texas to work as VP
of Marketing for Radio Shack, and then moved to Santa Monica, in Southern California. He's now
working as COO at a promising startup called Sidebar, which has
an interesting mobile technology that recommends content based on what people like, very useful
for online retailers and others.
Kieran and his family had spent 18 years living in San Francisco, and I was curious what life in
Southern California (SoCal) was like.
He said life was good, and that the startup scene was healthy and that there are a lot of
media/technology centers there. I often write about how Silicon Valley has become Media Valley,
because of all the media companies here (Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Twitter, etc) so it makes sense
that SoCal, with its rich media history, would be a fertile breeding ground for media technology
startups.
...LA [is] the second largest city in the country with a population if 16 million. We have
universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and many more. We have many seasoned entrepreneurs who have
built successful companies here and made a lot of money for investors and themselves. But LA is
not Silicon Valley and we don't need to aspire to be so. We will never be Silicon Valley in the
way that Toronto will never be Hollywood. But we have a great city for building technology
companies.
He goes into details about how LA is not like Silicon Valley.
- Funding is different, there are smaller "A" rounds of around $3m rather than $10m here.
- Recruiting is different. There aren't huge pools of engineers, but it is possible to build 100+
sized teams.
- Commuting isn't as bad as people think it is, most people live close to where they work. And
hey, commuting isn't that easy here.
- Lots of content creation skills. This is an interesting point to make because software
engineers can be found almost anywhere in the world today, but content creation skills are very
culture specific, you can't outsource this work.
- There are now larger numbers of successful entrepreneurs, many are on the their second and
third successful company.
Here are a few success stories:
There is a lot of innovation happening in LA from places like Eqal, Deca.TV, DemandMedia's
studios, Clicker, Filmaka and other initiatives.
. . .
The whole category of "sponsored search" came from a successful LA company, Overture. (my firm,
GRP Partners, was an investor). LA produced Applied Semantics that created AdSense and was bought
by Google. We were also an investor in the early local listing company, CitySearch - an LA
company. LA was a leader in lead generation (LowerMyBills), comparison shopping (PriceGrabber,
Shopzilla), social networking (MySpace ... I know, I know - Facebook won - but it was still a big
business). If we extend a bit North up the coast line we have many affiliate marketing innovators
including ValueClick, Commission Junction and FastClick. They also produced GoToMeeting and
CallWave.
. . .
A great team from MySpace has created Gravity. Gil Elbaz from Applied Semantics has now created
Factual. Zorik Gordon is tearing it up at ReachLocal. TechCoast Angels backed GreenDot should be
a major IPO this year. Frank Addante has created Rubicon Project. Douglas Merrill, the former CIO
of Google, is building his next company in LA. Scott Painter, founder of
CarsDirect has created two new generation LA startups (Zag and TrueCar, both backed by GRP
Partners). Brett Brewer (ex MySpace) has AdKnowledge, there is Adconian, Legal Zoom and many
more. Hautelook, Gogii, Magento - all very high potential companies building in LA.
Mr Suster is one of the organizers of Launchpad LA V2, which was announced today. This is a project aimed at helping
first-time entrepreneurs and helping to educate them and guide them in building successful
companies.
We will be selecting 10 startup companies to participate. There is no cost but you must
physically be based in or move to Los Angeles for the 6 months of the program. Applications are
due April 6th, 2010, the form is on the website and the Twitter address is@launchpadlad
A West Coast corridor of innovation...
It won't be long before we have a West Coast corridor of innovation stretching from Silicon
Valley to Southern California, and beyond.
In fact, if you fly from San Diego heading north along the coast you pass over tons of innovation
centers:
- The communications and biotech industries of San Diego;
- The electronics industries of Orange County;
- The media centers of Hollywood and Santa Monica;
- Then you reach San Francisco/Silicon Valley with its electronics, software, media tech,
biotech, cleantech industries;
- Then Portland with its thriving startup scene plus Intel's big presence there;
- Seattle with a thriving tech scene mostly spun out of Microsoft, and Amazon;
- Vancouver and its software industry.
Wow. 1400 miles of innovation. There's no other region like it, hundreds of
miles of world-class, industry leading, innovation and creativity.
Interestingly, it's all built on top of one of the most unstable fault lines in the world. A
disruptive reality. Is there a connection?
I've always said that innovation has to be disruptive otherwise it's not innovation.
