It looks like another drink needs to be added to the list of the five major foodgroups. Coca Cola is releasing a new drink next year called “Coca Cola Blak”. This drink is apparently a fusion of Coffee and Coca Cola. They describe it as having an ‘invigorating and stimulating blend’, that combines the ‘effervescent tast sensation of Coca Cola and natural flavours with real coffee.’ The drink is being initially released in France with other countries to follow.

On the subject of drinks, I do not drink. I do not mind being with people who are drinking, but I do not drink myself. If I did I would probably try out some cups linked to from O’Reilly’s MakeEZine. They are IceShot Glasses. That is they are small Shot Glasses made from Ice. I guess they would be great for something like vodka. Cute project – but there is a warning not to hold onto the glasses for long periods of time. But they do point out that people do not tend to hold onto them for long periods of time.

InventGeek has an article on how to repair LCD monitors for $20-30 when the backlight fails. And probably what is one of the coolest projects is the Cubatron which is a 9x9x9 pixel 3D matrix of multi-coloured LED’s in an 8 foot cube. And they have animation playing inside it. I have yet to see the videos, but it looks like a really really cool scuplture. Perfect for a modern building or huge open space… If I only had the talent to program something like that artistically rather than just build something like that.

Finally, a LEGO fan has built another Escher scene out of, well, lego. Looks cool.
