Glass House
Imagine that you can lie in the bed watching the night skies.
Or you can have breakfast inside your house enjoying the ocean view.
The only problem is that everybody can see you from outside.
But I think there will be an upgraded model with mirror walls from outside.
Anyway it's a very good concept house by Carlo Santambrogio and Ennio Arosio.

The World's Most Pathetic Computer Thief (6 pic + 1 Vidoe)
On Friday, December 18 some guy robbed small computer store. But interesting is how he did it.
He crashed his car into the store and then grabbed all the store displays.
But he didn't bother to unplug any cords, so he had to struggle to get the monitors free.
Then he loaded everything in the back of his truck and drove away.
All of this was caught on surveillance video (watch it in video).
He stole Apple equipment for around $6,000, but the damage to the building is probably around $10,000, says the owner.

Century Egg
Known also as preserved egg, hundred-year egg, thousand-year egg or thousand-year-old egg, the Century Egg is a Chinese delicacy used in many traditional dishes. Fresh duck, chicken or quail eggs become Century Eggs after weeks, sometimes months of preservation in a mixture of clay, ash, lime, salt and rice. The process of “cooking” Century Eggs is believed to date back 600 years, when someone apparently found some old eggs preserved in a pool of slaked lime. Upon tasting them, he decided to produce some more, but this time with some added salt.
After the preservation is complete, the hull mixture and egg shell are removed to reveal the now dark-brown egg-white and a dark-green, creamy and pungent yolk. It’s the alkaline that raises the ph of the egg from 9 to 12 or more and gives it a strong smell of ammonia and sulfur.
Century Eggs are consumed either raw, or as ingredients in other Chinese foods. There are those who associate them with smelly cheese, pungent but really delicious. Sadly there are others (myself included) who just can’t get past the disgusting colors and smell.

The latest Japanese Sports Car
This "Maniwa" was produced not by a car company, but by a small furniture factory Sada.
The sports car has three wheels and three seats. The car was built by hand and consists almost entirely of wooden parts, even its rims are made of wood. The car can reach 80 km/h.
But the main advantage of "Maniwa," is its design without a doubt.
The interest in the Japanese wooden design is huge, Sada is already taking plenty of orders for this wooden sports car, demanding for their services a little less than 44 thousand dollars.
And now, let’s look at the photos.

A Truly Radio-Active Vehicle
It’s amazing what a passion for cars and amateur radios can create.
Scott’s 1985 Plymouth Colt can simply be described as HAM radio heaven. He has mounted HAM radios, police scanners and other video devices all throughout his vehicle and it’s really quite amazing how he can still find his way around them when he just needs to drive it.
the HAM radio enthusiast says it’s amazing what you can listen to when you’re inside his Radio Active Colt, but I fail to see how you can actually listen to anything when all those things are turned on. According to one of the photos I found the 1985 Colt sells for just $500 while the HAM equipment is worth $25,000.

Stargate Atlantis Home-Theater
Featuring a fiber-optics stars cape ceiling that shows galactic clouds and comets passing every few minutes, air pocket doors and faux finished walls complete with backlit panels, the Star gate Atlantis home-theater looks like it came right off the filming set. The circular screen is a perfect replica of the star gate and has a 10-foot diagonal.
Yarmuth equipped his futuristic screening room with two Sony mega changers able to accommodate 800 DVDs, Atlantic’s THX speakers’ series, two Polk Audio in-wall subwoofers and a JVC light amplifier for HD imagery. Oh, and the air pocket doors are triggered by motion sensors.
