The Exoskeleton is The US Army’s answer to Iron-Man. With a second week of amazing receipts at the theatre, the idea of Iron-Man is not as far fetched as you might think. A lightweight aluminium exoskeleton is a reality and was tested in Salt Lake City. The robotic exoskeleton gives soldiers superhuman strength and will accelerate production of this idea that will maybe in ten years slim down to something like a Tony Stark prototype. I don’t know about flight, that is a long shot from now. The idea is entertaining and maybe safe lives or just trap bodies in the suit. See suit in action >>

Flogos are out of this world. Flogos? What are flogos? They are the newest rage coming to a city near you. They are cloud like shapes that float in the sky with company logos.

The future is now. One day you will be able to login to any channel and watch what you want when you want. No longer will you be dictated to when you can watch your favorite show. WB is relaunching a ?digital network,? in beta next month. It will broadcast their old shows. More and more costly ventures are finding there way to the net. Newspapers are retreating to the net for advertising and TV is headed there for viewers. It’s the new way to do business, fall asleep behind the wheel and you could easily lose your core audience. With such short attentions spans, people want quicker access to products. The new online channel will also carry new content.

Not since Cornelius and Zira first touched down on earth on Planet of the Apes that chimps will once again grace the silver screen in years. There is so much bad publicity as of late on various sites about this movie. The movie is produced by the duo of John H. Williams (Shrek, Shrek 2) and Barry Sonnenfeld (Men in Black, The Addams Family). Seems animal space flights is the flavor of the month. Nick Abadzis’s graphic novel "Laika" is one of the first in the past year to examine this side of the animal world experiments by man to conquer the stars. As much as we want to glorify the animal achievements both dogs and chimps did die in these flights. Heralded as heroes by the space community, these poor animals went through torture in space. Cartoons are always on a light side of reality and with caution because of the young audience.  This movie is all in fun but one must remember the blotted out stories of over 50 years of animals that suffered in the exploration of space. This will be a great movie but it just is a bit tainted because of the true realities of the early space program and Nick Abadzi’s bold telling of Laika’s 5 hour flight that lead to his death. This movie is cliched at best as you might noticed from the trailer, but I highly recommend it for the family.

There is not much one can do with tin cans, but there is one little company in Italy that is churning out cans licenced characters from piggy banks, pencil boxes, and waste bins with colorful concepts. Their canisters caught my eye and the clinging of coins and pencils will be the envy of many a collector. See site>>

The Love Guru is Mike Myers new comedic vehicle to ridicule his Canadian roots. Seems Mike is paying homage to a famous skit from John Byner’s Bizarre TV show from the 80’s when he meditates and pulls his legs all over the place. John Byner was notorious for using famous midget actor Billy Barty on his show. I wonder if that was the inspiration for Mini-me? Bizarre was one of those shows that dared to be different and had a politically non-correct bit called the "Bigot Family" that has since been cut out in syndication. After watching the trailer of Love Guru I am left with a sense of nostalgia for Bizarre. There was a famous actor that was on that show that went on to bigger things. If you guessed it was Mike Myers, you would be right. He played John Byner’s nephew on the show.
