2k3 still has two months left in it but the "Best of" articles are already hitting the Internet. These are some of my favorite items.
Bushnell Instant Replay: the closest thing to Tivo for the real world that I've seen. Press a button and it saves the last 30 seconds.
VisionCare Implantable Miniature Telescope: cyborg eye lens.
Emo-Gear Airboard: yeah, going headfirst down the slopes!
Skyray: the uber-flugtag entry, the only one guaranteed to get you tricky.
Shanghai Transrapid: it goes only 19 miles and cost $1.2B, but it also goes 267 mph and connects the airport to Shanghai downtown 8 minutes.
Toyota Sienna: I'm including this here b/c a co-worker of mine has one and, man, do I want to borrow that mini-van for a road trip.
Remote-Control Electrostimulation Capsule: I had heard before about capsules you could swallow that photograph your innards, but what is cool/scary about this one is that it delivers small shocks to force your intestines to push the capsule forward or backwards.
Dodge Durango Frame Rails: a bumper on a huge truck that's designed not to kill the compact car in front of it.
Popular Science was silly enough to call the G5 the first 64-bit desktop computer, but I guess you can give Apple the award for best marketing department of 2003.
