Bamgoo: electric car built from bamboo

This doesn't quite look like the most crash-safe vehicle ever designed, but electric power plus bamboo construction does provide a dream-like level of sustainability:

(video found via G4TV)

Any guesses on what epoxy/resin they're using to hold the bamboo together?

Thanks to Ecofriend for finding some specs: "the 60-kg electric car can run for 30 miles on a single charge."

Couple this with your bamboo bike, and your only transportation problem will be outrunning hungry pandas!

Lyrics box for practice/gigging

Lyricsbox 3-Up
From the MAKE Flickr photo pool

While visiting family over Thanksgiving I witnessed this device in use - "Mark's Magic Box" displays song lyrics and note changes to simplify band rehearsals. The setup uses a laptop + LCD for storage and display - controlled via foot-pedal which was built from a mouse and housed in a handmade metal enclosure. A teleprompter for music - very cool!

Kevin Kelly on technology as the 7th kingdom

On O'Reilly Radar, Joshua-Michele Ross has an interview with the always-original and thought-provoking Kevin Kelly. The discussion covers various topics related to biology, technology, and net-connected culture. As Josh says:

This last section (at 7mins 30 secs) is the deepest and most provocative. Kevin assumes the point of view of technology to assess its needs and wants. This line of inquiry leads to some surprising conclusions. My favorite quote from the conversation: "We are the sexual organs of technology" Indeed.

I really like the observation that, unlike biology, technology is almost impossible to make extinct, and that it's hard to find any technologies from the past that aren't still being used in some fashion today. For instance, there are more human beings making arrow heads today, Kevin claims, than were making them in pre-historic times.
