The Big Dog Quadruped is being developed for the US military as a load-carrying robot that’ll handle various types of terrain.
First check out this one:

Then check out the new, slightly improved version….
Undaunted by the failure of its original Highway Hi-Fi, its promoter cooperated with one of America’s leading electronics firms in a project involving the application of a more conventional phonograph to automobiles. The new phonograph is a 45-rpm automatic record changer of special design (Fig. 911) to enable it to be used in the family car.

Imagine DJing with this setup:
A 2 Vu Dual Screen Laptop, all your virtual instruments and Ableton Live on the screens, a couple of MIDI controllers, say a Trigger Finger and an X-Session Pro.
You’d be rockin’ the spot.
A neat desktop gadget that has customisable “widgets”: you decide what goes where on the display, so you can make it look how you like and show information that’s useful to you.
It’s Wi-Fi enabled, so you can send it new content from your computer.
Back in 1995 I posted about some video camera glasses. I’ve always dreamed of constantly recording what I’m seeing so I can play back all the crazy things that no one believes later.
Well it’s 2 years later and they don’t sell the ones that I posted about before, but they now have some for nearly a tenth of the price which look a lot better too.

Not had a chance to go through it all properly yet, but this looks like it’s got some good extra info on top of what the manual covers.
(Also has manuals for Nikon 950, Nikon 990, Nikon 995, Nikon 2500, Nikon 5700 and the Panasonic DMC-FZ 10)
If you don’t need portablilty, this has got to be the keyboard to own. Sounds like it’s not going to be cheap, but hopefully the price will be down and there’ll be some competition in a year or so.
This has got me thinking… I’ve been meaning to get a Bluetooth headset for some time now, not to actually use, you understand, but so I can walk through Brighton’s Churchill Square without fear of looking uncool…
But really- they’re cheap and useful enough to justify getting now, so I will be soon.
I’d also been thinking about getting a headset for use with VoIP (Skype for example). These things have wires and tend to cost about as much as a Bluetooth headset for anything half-decent.
Then I saw a link to the article “Getting Your Bluetooth Headset to Work in XP” and suddenly it all fell into place. I already have a hi-power (100m) USB Bluetooth dongle, so just need to decide which headset to go for now and that’s 2 gift horses killed with one broth…
