This seems to be the year for high-tech gadgets. The Washington Post has an article about inventor Dean Kamen who is "a physicist and engineer, he holds more than 100 patents, several for quality-of-life devices, including the portable dialysis machine" that discusses why Harvard Business School Press is paying him $250,000 for a new transportation concept nicknamed "Ginger." Sounds like we're getting closer to flying on brooms. You can view the alleged patent and 11 patent images as well. (To advance images, click on the first hand from the left that is pointing right.)

MetaFilter had a link to this Singer with attitude that, besides looking like the bastard child of an iMac, lets you hook up your Game Boy and use a special cartridge that has 84 pre-programmed stitch paterns. Also found on MeFi this week was a link to VW's concept of a new Microbus and the La-Z-Boy/Microsoft team-up resulting in a wired easy chair. Pretty cool stuff.
