The new Daisho

In medieval Japan, samurai wore the Daisho, two swords to signify their rank. Today's serving elite wear a cellphone and a Blackberry.

Vision of the near future?

These cars are from the movie Repo Mambo, currently filming on Carlaw Ave, in Toronto.
They're called Zenn, and are electric, apparently. Also appearing are Smart cars, and a Nissan SUV.
The movie is about a near future where people mortgage their organs, and the main character repossesses them. From what I can see, even mortgaging your organs isn't enough to buy you an interesting car in the future. I'd rather dream of flying machines and walking houses.

The Anti Love Equation

If love is life, then we are against it. This Valentine's day the Evil Genii Corporation will be showcasing a series of anti love technologies. The first is a new virus, called the Indifference Engine that we will use to corrupt and otherwise disable the transmission of any and all love songs. Secondly, we will introduce a melatonin inhibitor into the water supply to deprive the people of sleep, thus creating a populace of irritated individuals. The cumulative effect of sleep deprivation is calculated to decrease libido and harmony in couples. Evil Genii Corporation awards its first Anti Love award to Brian Chen-Tam for his development of the Cupid Heart shield, which protects the wearer against love's painful sting.
