Bellavista’s Biodigesting Treehouses Are Endor on Earth

Finca Bellavista is an Endor-like treehouse village in the making, with paths and platforms perched on 150-foot trees. Located six miles from Golfo Dulce, Costa Rica, this sustainable rainforest community doesn’t have stupid Ewoks or shield generators, but cute monkeys, site-wide Wi-Fi with internet sat link and biodigestors running on solar power.

2010 Pontiac G8 Sport Truck: The El Camino Is Back!

In January we reported this re-bodied Holden Ute would be called the 2010 Pontiac G8 ST, and like a Phoenix rising screamin’ from the ashes of a bygone era of car-platformed trucks, this new heir to the truck-car throne would emerge from the over-built and over-spec’d world of modern haulers.

Sleep, Obey, Consume, and Watch “They Live”

 If you want to spend your Friday evening contemplating the joys of alien-based paranoia, plus a little wrestling, then there’s nothing better than a nice heaping of They Live. Released in the late 1980s, this ironic-paranoid classic was John Carpenter’s giant fuck you to the Reagan Administration and social conformity of all types. Aliens have taken over, and are controlling all of the United States (and perhaps the whole world) by beaming a signal into everybody’s mind that masks the true aliens, as well as the “obey” signs they’ve planted everywhere. In this awesome scene, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper puts on some sunglasses that allow him to see the truth. It’s like the “taking the red pill” moment — suddenly the extent of his manipulation becomes clear.

I whole heartedly agree, “They Live” ROCKS! I can’t wait to get my copy from when they showed this on MonsterVision with Joe Bob Briggs and Rowdy Roddy Pipper commenting on the whole movie.

NES Cartridge, Retooled as Harmonica

Anyone who lived through the ’80s and had any semblance of cool had their own special technique for blowing in Nintendo Entertainment System cartridges to coax the gray boxes back to glorious 8-bit life. Now one precocious modder has taken this blowing to the next level by gutting an old game and replacing its innards with a harmonica. Consider the dumb video our way of saying don’t think so hard now that you’re back at work for the week, and that we’re sorry you never grew up to become a baseball player/astronaut/cowboy.
