The WalkCar. Something The World Really Needs...

We've had roller skates. Remember the first ones that were attached to your shoes with straps. And then the more advanced version that were attached to boots called roller blades. Then there were inline skates, various Segways, electric bikes and scooters, skateboards and now, looking more like a laptop on wheels,
we have the WalkCar.
Apple will probably produce one called iwalk.
It's a tiny platform that you stand on, you turn it by simply transferring your weight from one side to the other and if you weigh less than 265lbs it might transport you, if you're lucky, 7.4 miles at 6mph. At a cost of around $800.
Remember good old fashioned walking...

On A Pigs Back...

The strange sight of a seagull riding on a pigs back while it swims in the crystal clear waters off the secluded island of Big Major Cay in the Bahamas. Around twenty of the swimming porkers make their home on a beach
the locals call Pig Beach.
There's a baby turtle on a bullfrogs back, a couple of frogs who were playing 'leap frog' when one forgot how to do it or had other ideas. A brave little bee lands on a lizard's head. Watch out for his tongue little bee. A blackbird on the back of a red tailed hawk, a lazy damselfly on a swimming grass snake, a preying mantis dancing on a snail, a frog wondering if it would be quicker to get off the snail and walk, a brown noddy atop a pelican and a flying frog telling the wood boring beetle to get a move along.
There's more here.
Photographers at the right place
at the right time...

Jay Nelson's Very Cute, Very Tiny, Copper Clad Suzuki Camper...

Camper Vans don't get much smaller or more cute than this copper clad over ply custom built 4WD Suzuki camper.
The delightfully quirky little 'bed on wheels' is another from the imaginative mind of Jay Nelson, featured here and seen on Lloyd's Blog recently.
Those who know Lloyd's books published by Shelter Publications on living in small spaces will be familiar with Jay's work and also Foster Huntington whose Suzuki SJ 410 the tiny structure sits on.
If you can dream it you can do it...
