Dyson Inc.,
which specializes in machines that inhale and
exhale, like vacuum cleaners and fans, prides itself on the number of
attempts its engineers make to get to perfect. On average, it’s around
5000 prototypes to one finished product. I don’t know how many
prototypes went into each of the flying machines created by the Dyson
engineers for this year’s Challenge Dyson, but they sure came up with some strange-looking ones – all made from Dyson product parts.
I’ve got something really special for you today. It’s the first
revolution in eyewear since the contact lens. It’s called Frameri, code
for ‘one lens, many frames.’ That’s right, one pair of removable lenses
that fit several pairs of eyeglass frames. Frameri lets you change
your frames to fit your fashion, your mood, the weather, whatever…!
I was a smoker for
several years. I eventually gave it up
due to an odd habit that I have of thinking with my fingers over my mouth and
nose. The smell-rather like a flesh
ashtray-was just nasty. That and my
finger tips were yellow. But I have to admit
that the Vapourlites electronic cigarettes have a certain appeal for me.
