This is a short video of QBO the robot seeing himself in a mirror, then learning to recognize himself. Because if there’s one thing the world needs, it’s vain robots. Ugh, you probably think this song is about you, don’t you, QBO? Haha, IT IS! *cranks volume*
When I think about you I touch myself ♫
Ugh, obviously that was THE WRONG F***ING TRACK. Let’s try this again. *queuing CD player*
That something wasn’t right here? ♫
Okaaaaaaaaaay, now I’m embarrassed. What if I told you this was my sister’s CD?
Hit the jump for the cutie patootie [GW's roommate's note: haha -- he never proofreads!] in action. View full post on Geekologie – Gadgets, Gizmos, and Awesome

While this is an accident waiting to happen, Chinavision’s “Complete Car Bluetooth Rearview Mirror” certainly has managed to cram everything and the kitchen sink in there. Their replacement mirror features the following: GPS, wireless rear-view parking camera (camera kit included), Bluetooth calling, DVR and yes even a media player. The idea is that in DVR mode it will record what happens inside or out (presumably more than the rearview parking camera can be hooked up to it) while in other modes it can either give you GPS guidance or even play back videos for you. We’re guessing you have to be stopped with parking brake engaged for this particular feature to work, though we’re sure enterprising folk will quickly find a way around that. Everything is displayed on a 4.3 inch, 480 by 272 resolution screen and the internals are powered by a Centrality Atlas 4 Dual-Core 500 MHz processor and 64MB of RAM. Yeah, HD files might be out of the question.
Storage is handled via SD or Micro SD cards, of which two are included (4GB each). It’s $205 for one and prices go down with larger order numbers as this appears to be a wholesaler.

Joey Ruiter is a designer. As people are bound to do sometimes, Joey’s designs can wander into the artistic, where form takes precedence over function in sometimes elaborate efforts at crafting a message or a vision. What he’s done with this project, called Moto Undone, is to strip down what makes a motorcycle to its bare essentials. In his own words:
[We wanted to] re-set the definition of a motorbike by stripping away historical attributes that make them so great. It’s hard to image a motorcycle without fancy paint, overpowered motors, exposed mechanical genius, and sweet exhaust tones. Moto Undone is pure generic transportation and by motorbike category definition it isn’t very cool. The motorbike references are small and when someone is riding, they are all you see. The bike almost disappears. The rider just floats along the streets silently.
Silently because the motorcycle is powered by a 1000w 48v electric hub motor. Moto Undone has a range of 90 miles or about 3 hours. All gauges and riding information, like speed and gps, is displayed through a smart phone.
Sadly the motorcycle doesn’t appear to be for sale. It was on display at the Gran Rapids Art Museum recently. Would you want to buy it, though? Doesn’t look all that comfortable…
