Fire station with all the accessories; helicopter, engines and a fire pole.
Always wanted to be a firemen/women go play...

Quite simply, one cool horseless carriage

I walked out the door on a winter's morn

Seriously, this cross-continent walking gets boring. I don't know if it was the time of day or the regions I was wandering through but I hardly saw a soul or a little green radar dot the whole day. Anyhow, found this huge gothic/robot/cyberpunk malls, it was all quality stuff (barely a gold bling necklace in sight ).


Found this little shop selling just one product - a finely crafted calculator.
Is this madness? is this art? We will probably never know, but one thing is for sure; you can take a calculator to
 second life but you can't make it drink. 
 



After hours of walking I took a well deserved break at a lecture theatre for TED videos. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design and it is a conference of top specialists in their field to share ideas. Each presentor is given 18mins to demostrate their ideas to other delegates. You can browse through various videos from the conference at your leisure. I particularly enjoyed the optical illusion talk, having thought M.C. Escher's 'waterfall' illusion was good, the pictures and videos in this piece will really twist your mind.
