That SEIKO watch is amazing! It doesn't seem to be an actual product, however. It seems like plausible technology, however. A roll-up flat-screen monitor, in full color, was shown off at SIGGRAPH last year...

Superbe, especially the vintage ones made by Haruo Suekichi, they remembered me about the movies La cite des enfants perdus (1995), seemed like stuff made out of Jules Verne books.
And then the alarm clock that you could smack to stop the alarm, I became nostalgic remembering Pink Panther, how she broke her alarm clock in the morning and orTom si Jerry cartoons:-) So long time ago.
Spendid design. Hard to find them though on the market.

whom ever said "these cars are terrible" has no artistic talent no latent abilities and is destined to work the same dead end job for the rest of his life, not because the car is terrible but because you have no appreciation for the work that is put into these pieces of art. also you are not required to like them because there are those of us that still do and have for nearly 80 years.

Whether you think these are beautiful or not is a matter of personal taste. However, facts dictate that, of almost any car, this is the one you buy if you don't want to lose much money. I have a 12 year old Plus 8, bought it new for £35k and I am reliably informed its worth between £25k and £28k now. I can't think of any other car that retains its value so well.

i really enjoy this site - if i'm at home. unfortunately at work i'm behind a corporate firewall/proxy which blocks any traffic from flickr - which is where you host your images (i see your webpage, but not the images).
you're unfortunately losing a lot of potential traffic, unless you'd consider an alternative - its standard practice these days (and with good reason) for corporates to block access to facebook, flickr, youtube, etc..

I used to know a bloke who'd ridden on the Bennie Railplane as a young man. Sadly, he died last year, and I wish I'd talked to him more about it. Although, frankly, I don't think there was much to tell: as you say, it was a test track, and didn't actually go anywhere. He did say that it sounded - as you would expect - exactly like a plane. And at 20-30 feet from the ground, that must have been quite a racket. Not to mention the wash from the propellers (one at the front, one at the rear).
By all accounts, Bennie wasn't much of a businessman, but I can't help thinking that the technical issues doomed it as much as the economics.
