Hello everyone, this week I've noticed that its been raining quite a bit, and the one day I didn't have a hood, I also didn't have an umbrella. So...I found this website that had tons of cool and futuristic umbrellas that people have invented, they not only solve the problem of wind blowing out your umbrellas, but they also create new features, like built in Bluetooth and lighting. The picture to the right doesnt have Bluetooth, or special lightning, but its unique design and overall coverage will protect you from the rain any day. If you Click Here you will be brought to the website with all different kinds of umbrellas and maybe be inspired to create your own. Although I haven’t seen any of these umbrellas around on the streets, I hope that by spreading the word, then maybe I will start to see them.

This week, I want to share a cool and futureistic new way of living. If you Click Here you can see more pictures of how this futuristic house works. The purpose of this cylinder shaped room is to have all your necessitys of a regular room, but all in one small space. The reason I felt the need to share this invention, is because I love futureistic ideas and inventions, and ever since I saw Back To The Future 2 (The one in the future) I've been obcessed with new technology and inventions.

For my Web Gem this week, I felt that I had to share with all of you, a type of artist that most of us have never heard of. As you can see in the photo to the right, it appears that a man in on the side of a building. Its really all an illusion, shh!. Some of these artists use chalk to create this art, what you see in the picture looks different as seperate angles. For example one artist portayed a woman with her leg in the air and from a side view, the illusion looks streched out as if it were mistake. Its no mistake because it looks porortional from the correct angle. I have a great apriciation for atrists who do these illusions, because it takes a great deal of time and effort to complete. If you Click Here you can see more art done by these specially gifted illusionists.

Becuase I am allways on the go, I find that leaving files behind on my home computer dont really help when theres an important deadline. Logmein is a FREE, yes FREE, remote application for your computer, smartphone, or portible device. I use this program all the time whether its on my iPad or on my Laptop, it all acts the same way. With this program, you can do about all the same things you would be able to do as if you were at the computer your self. There are multiple versions on this, there is the FREE version, which is what most people just need for the basics, then there is the Pro version, where you can do more luxuious things like listen to music thats playing on your other computer. I would recommend this to anyone who is usually on the go, or would like to allways have a back up way of getting your files.

This is a cool video I found of a Prius parking its self. Since I drive a Prius, I thought this was pretty cool. The prius in the video is the (2009 and below) Touring edition, which you cant get 'Self-Parking' on as an option. But dont be disaapointed! Toyota added this Self-Parking feature to its 2010 Package 5 Prius' that have the Advanced Technology Package included. When I found out about this new feature I was extremly excited...until I saw the amount of money Toyota charges for this Advanced Technology Package.
