Check out this NOVA DSLR!

500x_nova_dslr_1_cropI really wish I could afford one of those fancy-schmancy DSLR cameras, and I really wish I could buy the NOVA DSLR.

Sadly, this NOVA DSLR is a concept by designer Erin Fong, and certainly breaks the mold when it comes to your typical DSLR design.

The handle of this thing is doubled up so that both hands can hold it steady. It can also fold up into one handle if that is how you want it.

Well, let’s hope it sees the light of day. Until then, I’ll give it the proper press that I can give it.

These Christmas Tree Lights are pedal-powered

biketreeI love all the decorations that come at Christmas, and the ones with lights are my favorite. Of course, no one wants the extra fee on the energy bill during December, so these guys in Copenhagen came up with an alternative energy plan.

As you can see, there are several people on bikes that are powering these lights. There are fifteen bikes powering these 700 lights, and it looks like it is done on a volunteer basis.

So, I suppose that these people are dreaming of a “Green” Christmas.
