Cardboard, as a medium for sculpture, has some very clear advantages and disadvantages. Namely: cardboard is very cheap (free, even, if you are able to get up super-early on garbage day); crafting cardboard into the shapes you want requires less energy and training than doing so with, say, marble; cardboard, raw or sculpted, is very easy to transport; but, it doesn’t last very long, especially in bad weather; it’s also much harder to work with if physiological realism is your goal.

The last time Jaguar made a supercar available for sale was back in the early 90s with the XJ220. That vehicle was powered by a twin-turbocharged V6 engine developing well over 500 hp, accelerated to 60 mph in less than 4 seconds, and had a top speed of 200+ mphNow, Jaguar has unveiled its C-X75 Concept which picks up where the XJ220 left off. The vehicle uses an advanced powertrain that mixes lithium-ion batteries and electric motors with two gasoline turbine generators (80,000 rpm) which recharge the battery pack…more

From a mortician's point of view, they are big and cumbersome to move around, but people with a scintillatingly morbid sense of humor are finding caskets to be fascinating decorative pieces and unique conversation starters.

It's not just creepy goth people that enjoy this sort of underworld humor, either. if all you have lived for in your life is your love for automobile, maybe you want to leave the world lying in an amazing car as well. Take a look at the coolest caskets for auto nerds.

Sculptor Fan Xiaoyan has created several part woman, part metallic warrior pieces that I would not want to run into in a dark alley. Clearly the ‘Terminator’ movie franchise did not have the market on kickass half man/half machinery cornered.

Despite the overtly fetishistic quality of the sculpture with its pronounced sadomasochistic overtones normally associated with male fantasy, it is the work of a woman. This gives rise to interesting cultural and sexual issues, raising questions as to whether men and women project differing significations onto a visual artifact. Is the comment "It would have a completely different meaning if it had been made by a man“ justifiable? Does an object retain distinct significance due to original intent or does it attain independence once released by its creator? Is an artifact endowed with meaning by the viewer or by the artist? Whatever the answers, this is a remarkable work of art which would be hard to ignore on any level.

Donald Duck, a cartoon character created by the Walt Disney Company, is today the star of dozens of comic-book and comic-strip stories published each month  around the world.

Donald Duck has so far mesmerized most of us all over the world with his quack voice and funny comments on the television. The car was constructed by Donald Duck himself with the help of various spare parts. The car used to breakdown very often during the series of the cartoon, which used to add to the humor. Hope the real car doesn’t breakdown so soon as that won’t be taken as a humor.The tiny car is painted bright red and is only suited for one person in the front and a couple of small people in the back seat. The wheels are white and there is no roof. Driving around in the Donald Duck car will surely get you attention.

Diffusion of Innovations is a theory that seeks to explain how, why, and at what rate new ideas and technology spread through cultures.

Only a slice of the population qualifies as early adopters of technology – just 13.5% according to author Everett Rogers, who coined the phrase. You know the types – preordering cutting-edge gizmos before anyone else has heard of them, obsessively scanning industry and product development web sites, comparing notes with fellow geeks and trendsetters on what the next big thing will be.
