This is a true shame to the football world! He should get the boot!

He (the goalkeeper) is the world’s worst actor!

Michelin Tweel is a radical new tire design by Michelin, tire with no air!

These tires are airless and are scheduled to be out on the market very soon. The bad news for law enforcement is that spike strips will not work on these tires. This is what great R&D will do and just think of the impact on existing technology:

• no more air valves
• no more air compressors at gas stations
• no more repair kits

More info and new about Michelin Tweel from Michelin press release.

I’ve talked about the all cool South Park Character Creator where you can customize your own South Park character.

This (Mini-Mizer) is more or less like that, but instead of creating South Park characters, it’s a tool to customize a picture of yourself (or someone) in plastic! Yeah…some kind of lego characters.

More than two million people have made plastic versions of themselves and their loved ones…can you do any less?

OK, grab this link, or if you had problem with the display size, try this link.

This toy (that’s what the creator calls Mini-Mizer) comes with a feature which lets you generate a randomized character! (cool)

Here are some characters generated:

Note: There is no option to save your character as a image, as it is impossible to convert flash pictures into image files (.jpg, .gif, etc). So, the trick is very simple. Grab a screen capture tool to capture the character, one of them is MWSnap (freeware).
