According to a national study in the US, drivers lose on average 5 days per year in traffic.  Now how crazy is that? If you live in a big city then you know what it means to be stuck in a traffic jam, waiting for the line to move,  wishing you were somewhere else. If you haven’t already done so, now is the time to trade your car for an eco-friendly city rider.

Sustainable living calls for innovative means of urban transportation. Besides being ecological, the personal vehicles are a lot of fun to ride on. Check them out!

1. Unicycle

   Lets start this list with the oldest FUN vehicle there is: a unicycle. Dating back from the late 19th century, its design was very simple. The pedal and cranks were connected directly to the front axle, so the rear wheel would go up in the air and the rider would be moved slightly forward. Over the years, unicycle enthusiasts have inspired manufacturers to create new designs, such as seatless (“ultimate wheel”) and tall (“giraffe”) unicycles. During the late 1980s unicycle got back in trend with extreme sports (off-road unicycling).

   

   Today, unicycle has become the extreme urban transporter. Watch this video to see two skilled unicyclers find their way in Manhattan traffic.

2. Heelys Nano

   Heelys, the creator of the popular shoe with a wheel in the heel, has introduced a product so revolutionary that it’s already defining a new sport. ‘Freeboarding,’ as it’s called, has been building momentum ever since Heelys released the Nano™ in August.

   

   

   Developed in-house, Heelys Nano is a fast, skateboard-like contraption worn on one foot with a Heelys shoe – minus the wheel. The other foot wears a traditional Heelys wheeled shoe. This hybrid skate system creates a stable platform for the front foot, allowing the user’s rear foot to build momentum, carve sharp turns, and perform a wide variety of tricks. It’s this unique combo of skating and running that allows the user to freeboard through an environment, using obstacles and the landscape as creatively as possible.

   The Nano is much faster than Heelys shoes, but you don’t get as tired. It is far more versatile for doing tricks, and it’s small enough to fit in a backpack or school locker.

3. Strida Bike

   Strida Bike is an elegant, triangular bicycle design that gets lots of attention. With a single-speed drive, it won’t let you go much faster than 10 miles per hour, but it’s fun to ride, nimble and so easily maneuverable that it’s perfectly suited to crowded streets, zipping around cars and pedestrians.

   
   The extraordinary asset that Strida offers is its five second fold; it changes the way you use a bike. It is so easy and quick to fold, and folded up, you can push it like a stroller. And it weighs only 10kg, so you can carry it around if you like.

4. The Three Wheel Recumbent Cruiser

   This single-speed, three-wheeled cruiser is not a speed monster, but it is fun to ride. The steering is tight and it get lots of looks wherever you go. Can get you around town, in the park, at the beach, very easy and cool to ride.
   The Three Wheel Recumbent Cruiser has a dual-joystick steering mechanism that is responsive and exhilarating to use, providing smooth maneuverability. The sturdy steel frame can be extended or contracted easily and is suitable for riders from 4′ to 6’3″. With a seat height of just 11″, this cruiser maintains a low center of gravity, making it especially stable and safe for younger and older riders.

   Unlike chain-driven bicycles, this cruiser’s propulsion system requires minimal maintenance because it uses a front flywheel mechanism connected directly to the pedals; there’s no chain to come loose or to smear grease on pant legs. Caliper handbrakes provide smooth, controlled stopping and slowing for even little hands. Supports up to 250 lbs. Comes in Blue, Orange, Silver, and Red.

Surprise yourself! Take a look at the top 10 unusual and innovative personal transportation concepts available for the commercial use today. Most of these are aimed for recreational use, although some have found their use and application in various industries. Once concept vehicles, these are now all available for a price. The question is, can you afford it?

1. The Flying Car

   The Transition is the vehicle that converts from a street-legal automobile to a Light Sport aircraft in 30 seconds. A 100 horse power, four-cylinder engine powers both the craft’s propeller for a maximum airspeed of 115 mph and rear-wheel drive to above 65 mph when on the road. The Flying Car can use its front-wheel drive on roads at ordinary highway speeds, with wings folded, at a respectable 30 miles per gallon.

   

   

   Once it has arrived at a suitable take-off spot – an airport, or adequately sized piece of flat private land – it can fold down the wings, engage its rear-facing propeller, and take off. The folding wings are electrically powered. When they are folded, the craft easily stores in a home’s garage. Requires a Sport Pilot Certificate to operate. Price: $350,000

   The Flying Car

2. The Personal Submarine

   Right out of a James Bond movie, this mini submarine is designed for just 2 people, and can descend to a depth of 1,000 feet. Safely and comfortably seated in a completely transparent, climate-controlled acrylic pressure sphere, you can enjoy the view of coral reefs, shipwrecks, and the sea floor, dipping even into the mesopelagic zone, with a chance to see exotic, bioluminescent species such as lanternfish.

   
   With a maximum speed of three knots, The Personal Submarine is powered by a 120- and 24-volt battery bank that provide up to six hours of continuous undersea adventure. A VHF radio provides surfaced communication and its underwater telephone communicates while submerged. It is equipped with a suite of standard instrumentation, including a barometer, thermometer, hygrometer, depth gauges, fluxgate and magnetic compasses, mechanical clinometers, pressure gauges, and a GPS receiver. Price: $2,000,000

   The Personal Submarine

3. Martin Jetpack

   If you thought that the flying car was the top innovation in personal transporters, think again. The jetpack has been a major goal of the aerospace industry for over fifty years. Now the first jetpack is available for commercial use. The Martin Jetpack is a result of years of input from a team of engineers and developers worldwide. Originally designed with the leisure market in mind, Martin Aircraft Company has seen strong demand from a wide range of markets, including military, civil defence and recreation.

   

   

   The Martin Jetpack flies for a reasonable amount of time (30 minutes) at a reasonable speed (up to 100 Kph). It consists of a purpose-built gasoline engine driving twin ducted fans which produce sufficient thrust to lift the aircraft and a pilot in vertical takeoff and landing, enabling sustained flight. Extensive safety features include a rapid deploying parachute, roll cage structure and shock absorbing undercarriage. Price:  $100,000

   Martin Jetpack

4. WaterCar Phyton

   The ultimate big boy’s toy, this amphibious car will never go unnoticed. It’s a monster on the road, with smooth lines, grunty performance and gleaming paint. Once you drive WaterCar Phyton down the boat ramp into the sea, it turns into the jetboat that flies across the water.

   

   

   The Python has highway-legal and nautical lighting built in. It needs to be registered both as a car and a boat. Price: $170,000

   WaterCar Phyton

5. Rinspeed sQuba

   Unlike the WaterCar Python, Rinspeed sQuba is the first car that can actually ‘fly’ under water. It is this submerged stabile flight at a depth of 10 meters that sets the “sQuba” apart from military vehicles. While the latter can go under water, they are limited to driving slowly over the submerged ground.

   

   

   It is a sure bet that the “sQuba” will steal the show from any ‘Baywatch’ beauty on the beach. And easily, too: You drive the car into the water and the car floats. That is, until you crack the door to let the water in. Immediately the Rinspeed sQuba starts on its way to the underwater world. The occupants’ breathing air comes from an integrated tank of compressed air that divers know from scuba diving.

   For safety reasons the vehicle has been built as an open car so that the occupants can get out quickly in an emergency. Created by Frank M. Rinderknecht and his partners, sQuba is a truly unusual vehicle. Base price: $175,000.

   Rinspeed sQuba

6. The First Carbon Chassis Velocipede

   This Carbon Chassis Velocipede is the first human powered vehicle made of carbon fiber monocoque chassis, the material used in Formula 1 automobiles, making it ultra light and fast. At a mere 60 lbs. (27kg), this three-wheel vehicle combines the low-impact exercise benefits of a recumbent bicycle with the stability of a three-wheeled cruiser and the aerodynamics of a concept automobile. The cockpit is a slipstream airfoil shape that ensures smooth and consistent speeds.

   Inside there is a recumbent seat with adjustable pedals for a customized fit that maximizes comfort and pedal power efficiency. To give it a real car feeling, it even has some of the real car details such as headlight, tail light and turn signals – these are all rechargeable. Price: $14,000

   

   The First Carbon Chassis Velocipede

7. The Two Person 60 MPH Hovercraft

   A truly extraordinary vehicle, this Personal Hovercraft is able to reach locations traditional watercraft cannot access, traveling briskly over over smooth surfaces such as ice, water, sand, mud, snow, and short grass, in addition to short distances over asphalt, concrete, or dirt roads. Powered by a 60-horsepower gasoline engine and an efficient 12-volt battery, the craft can go at speeds up to 60 miles per hour. A handlebar-style tiller allows the rider to control the direction and speed, with 60 separate nylon/hypalon coated skirt segments providing a durable base. It is even able to climb small, smooth inclines up to 20%. Requires registration as a boat. Two-person, 400 lb. payload capacity. Price: $17,000

   The Two Person 60 MPH Hovercraft

8. Personal Helicopter

   Mosquito XE is the One Person Helicopter, typically used for fun, recreational flight, but can have applied use in ranch herding, running a farm, or getting access to far out fishing spots, among other things. Designed by John Uptigrove, a mechanical engineer by trade, who wanted to make an ultralight helicopter that offers the ability to fly without all the cost and hassle of dealing with air regulations. Mosquito XEL are only permitted to carry five gallons of fuel and hence have a range of just 60 miles. The XE can carry 12 gallons of fuel and so has a range of 150 miles.

   

   

   Uptigrove believes safety is of essential importance in aviation and supports this by giving his customers discount of US$2,000 on providing proof that they have had helicopter training from a certified instructor to at least the “solo” signoff, or a minimum of 10 hours dual instruction. Complete Helicopter Kit sells for $32,000.

9. The Crusoe Craft

   This is a high tech, expedition quality, multi-purpose adventure sailing craft made of modern materials, and with ingenious use of space and propulsion methods. The Crusoe Craft is a fully adaptable go anywhere, do anything mobile home and equipment locker.

   
   Powered by a 9.9HP four-stroke motor the hybrid diesel engine charges the batteries and the intelligent battery management system switches the diesel on automatically when the batteries dip below 75% capacity. The practical nature of the lightweight Crusoe 18ft Trimaran, with its multiple sealed stowage hatches and huge deck area is impressive. Its shape is accordingly very efficient in different ways. The combination of fine bow entry, wide beam and flat hull profile enable the boat to travel with little or no wake when under sail or power.

   
   The adaptable design comes to the fore when you see the number of sailing platforms into which The Crusoe Craft readily adapts. If you’re a fisherman, the Crusoe’s large non-slip deck-space is suitable for fly, spinning or sight fishing. Furthermore, it has a spacious 4m wide “walk-on” deck area that spans the mid-ship’s area. Fishing, kite boarding, surfing, diving or other sporting equipment is easily stowed, courtesy of the sturdy racks and numerous sealed hatches.

   
   Last but not least, the Crusoe trailer, is very much a part of the entire Crusoe system, and as such, it is equally as well designed and constructed as the boat itself. Price: from $45,000

10. The Motorized Monocycle

    The first monocycle was invented in Marseilles, France in 1869. It has come a long way since to The Motorized Monocycle of today, made in Netherlands. Powered by a 31cc engine, it propels a single rider up to 25 MPH.

    The wheel is steered by the passenger leaning to one side or the other. It operates by using a centrifugal clutch on its inner steel frame to engage the larger outer flywheel that rolls on the ground with a rubber tire. The frame is made of fiberglass with a cushioned seat for riders up to 275 lbs. The motorized monocycle can run for up to two hours on less than a 1/2-gallon of gasoline. Price: $13,000

This post is not about sex. It is about some of the most amazing mating rituals in nature. The videos below show spectacular footage of rare animal behavior and unique mating customs. After you watch them you will never look at these wonderful creature the same way.

1. Leopard Slug

   The mating ritual of the great slug is is one of the most amazing things I’ve seen in the natural world. Talk about making love to another! When people see this they’ll look upon the humble garden slug with a new eye.

   Limax Maximus (literally, “great slug”), also known as the leopard slug, is one of the largest kinds of keeled air-breathing land slug in the world. Although native to Europe, this species has been accidentally introduced to many other parts of the world.

   This species has a very unusual and distinctive mating method, where the pair of slugs hang in the air, suspended from a tree branch or other structure, using a thick thread of mucus.

2. Angler Fish

   The mating ritual of Angler Fish is just as fascinating as that of the Leopard Slug, but more extreme. The male lives solely to find and mate with a female. They are significantly smaller than a female angler fish, and may have trouble finding food in the deep sea. When he finds a female, he bites into her skin, and releases an enzyme that digests the skin of his mouth and her body, fusing the pair down to the blood-vessel level. The male then slowly atrophies, first losing his digestive organs, then his brain, heart, and eyes, and ends as nothing more than a pair of gonads, which release sperm in response to hormones in the female’s bloodstream indicating egg release. This extreme sexual dimorphism ensures that, when the female is ready to spawn, she has a mate immediately available. As if that wouldn’t be enough, multiple males can be incorporated into a single female.

3. Fruit Bats

   Bats are the only species beside humans to engage in oral sex during intercourse, in order to prolong sexual stimulation. During mating season, it is not unusual for the whole group to participate in a large orgy.

4. Praying Mantis

   Sexual cannibalism is common among mantises in captivity, and under some circumstances may also be observed in the field. The female may start feeding by biting off the male’s head (as they do with regular prey), and if mating had begun, the male’s movements may become even more vigorous in its delivery of sperm. The reason for sexual cannibalism has been debated, with some considering submissive males to be achieving a selective advantage in their ability to produce offspring.

5. The Elephants

   The mating season is short and females are only able to conceive for a few days each year. She will detach herself from the herd. The scent of the female (cow) elephant in heat (or estrus) attracts the male and she also uses audible signals to attract the male. As the female can usually outrun the male, she does not have to mate with every male that approaches her.

   The male initiates the courtship and the female ignores him for several minutes. He then stops and starts again. Elephants display a range of affectionate interactions, such as nuzzling, trunk intertwining, and placing their trunks in each other’s mouths.

   In a rarely observed display of his affection, he may drape his trunk outside of his tusks during the ritual. The interactions may last for 20–30 minutes and do not necessarily result in the male mounting the female, though he may demonstrate arousal during the ritual. The female elephant is not passive in the ritual and uses the same techniques as the male.

Have you ever wanted to take part in a large-scale  scientific study or in a big international art project? Well, here’s your chance. This list is a growing compilation of websites where you can apply online and participate in various global projects related to culture, arts, technology, and/or science. Have fun!

1. The Genographic Project

   Sponsored by National Geographic, this is a landmark study of the human journey. Where do we really come from? And how did we get to where we live today? The Genographic Project is seeking to chart new knowledge about the migratory history of the human species by using sophisticated laboratory and computer analysis of DNA contributed by hundreds of thousands of people from around the world. In this unprecedented and of real-time research effort, the Genographic Project is closing the gaps of what science knows today about humankind’s ancient migration stories.

   Scientists are collaborating with indigenous and traditional peoples around the world to learn more about where we came from and how we got to where we live today. But participation is not restricted to indigenous and traditional peoples; the general public is also invited to join in on the journey. Participation kit costs $99.95 and with it you can sample your own DNA and submit it to the lab. The purchase price also includes the cost of the testing and analysis.

2. 15×15 – Be Famous

   Andy Warhol stated that “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.” This website is a homage to Andy Warhol and a realization of the artistic utilization of new media technology in the age of digital production. Anyone and everyone can be world famous… for 15 seconds.

   You can contribute to the piece using a standard mobile camera phone that can capture video, and send clips directly from your phone using MMS service, via email or upload from your pc to the online database. The clips can be portraits, experiential, vignettes, experimental, of love, of life, of anything, from banal to downright bizarre.

   15×15 will be disseminated via the web and exhibited in galleries and projected in spaces around the world.

   15×15 – Be Famous

3. Shape The Hive

   Shape The Hive is a remarkable experiment in collaborative production. It is a creative online community, whose members contribute pieces that, when combined with others, will form a whole far greater than the sum of its parts.

4. Peace Shadow Project

   Here is an art project that lets you burn your shadow as a signature to petition for world without nuclear weapons. Everyone’s hope in form of shadows will be exhibited in museums and public facilities around the world, to speak of the hope for a world without nuclear weapons.

   Peace Shadow Project

5. The Point

   Although not a historical project, The Point is an online platform for collective activism, and it operates globally. If you want to make a change, this is the place to start. As a consumer, employee, citizen, activist, parent, or whatever, sometimes you can’t do things alone – you need the power of many. The Point offers a new approach to leveraging the influence of groups and making things happen. It is a website for organizing group actions that are activated once enough participants commit to reach a “tipping point” that ensures success.

   Anyone can create a campaign for free. Whether you’re asking people to do something or give money, people only contribute if they think it makes a difference. On The Point, all campaigns have a “tipping point” — people pledge to give money or do something, but no one does a thing until the conditions are met to make contributions worthwhile. That way, you can gather all the resources needed to be successful before anyone is asked to take action. The Point aims to fix the problems with online petitions, mass letter-writing tools, or many fundraising efforts — it’s not clear how participation translates into results.

   Campaigns on The Point are results-oriented, create real incentives for change, and only ask people to act when it actually makes a difference. The Point rethinks group action from the ground up to leverage the Web, opening the door for solving problems that couldn’t be addressed otherwise.

   The campaign widget allows you to take your campaign anywhere, including your website, blog, or social networks like MySpace.

6. Global Music Project

   Global Music Project represents a collaborative international network of music fans, artists, progressive businesses, social activists, event promoters, and others who believe .. in the power of music to attract, educate, and inspire humanity to participate in making a better world. Their main programs are music preservation and music discovery.

   Global Music Project’s objectives are simple:

The making of this top list was a slow and gradual process that gave me a lot of pleasure. The ten websites listed here differ greatly in theme and structure, but one thing they do have in common is that they stand out with their amazing concept and design, stretching the limits of digital culture and internet art.

Having stumbled upon them while surfing the net, and being the obsessive label-er that I am, the only tag I could think of was “fascinating”. And that is big coming from someone who doesn’t get fascinated easily. So naturally, I made a new folder in my Favorites, titled “Fascinating”, and decided I was going to publish this list the moment it gets 10 entries. That moment, dear friends, has arrived. I hope you’ll enjoy it.

Oh, and by the way, most of these websites are built with rich flash animation, so make sure you have fast internet connection when you check them out.

1. 88 Constellations for Wittgenstein

   Designed by David Clark, this website is an interactive collage of philosophy and art, a poetic film based on the life and work of Ludwig Wittgenstein, an influential Austrian philosopher.

It is a story of Wittgenstein’s life told in fragments, and brought to life in contemporary digital culture.
