The idea of an airplane landing on a perch like a bird is an interesting one, and researchers at MIT have begun studying the possibility, producing a foam glider with a single motor on its tail that can land on a wire. They are currently looking at incorporating the idea into robotic aircraft, with the goal of increasing their maneuverability and possibly allowing them “to recharge their batteries simply by alighting on power lines”.

find-it

It’s Friday—the kind of day where you half-ass it and daydream until quittin’ time. These “Find It” desktop games will make the time past faster and ensure that you are never tempted to do any real work. Inside each tube there are 40 items hidden among a mass of multi-colored plastic pellets. The items to be found in each tube focus on a central theme, like sports, the zoo, the beach and birds. The game also includes a check off pad to keep track of your findings. An additional image is available after the break.

Alessi’s “Birds & Clouds” Sushi set is an odd combination for a cool gift. I am not sure how clouds and birds fit in with sushi. But it shouldn’t really matter when you have a cloud for a plate, soy sauce bowl and chopstick holder. Nothing like a serene setting when eating raw animals. At least the silk placemat sounds authentic to it’s origins.

Your kids get time each day to play on a playground, shouldn’t your birds get the same opportunity? Someone obviously thinks so. I think they are putting a little too much thought into amusing birds. Did the bored look on their faces force the designer to look for ways to put that smile back?

If your homeowners association doesn’t like pink flamingo lawn decorations, just think how they will feel about this Skel-E-Flamingo. These things look like pink flamingos that have been left out for far too long. Great for any time of year, skeletal birds never get old.
