The Brothers Bloom

The Brothers Bloom has the exuberance of an Oceans’ 11 movie and the stylish nonsense of Wes Anderson.  The best thing about it is Rinko Kikuchi (on the right).  The film is Rian Johnson’s next directorial effort after Brick, which I also loved to pieces.

Tweenbots are an experiment about the power of adorable as a motive force. “The journey the Tweenbots take each time they are released in the city becomes a story of people’s willingness to engage with a creature that mirrors human characteristics of vulnerability, of being lost, and of having intention without the means of achieving its goal alone.”

Article: Yeast-powered fuel cell feeds on human blood

NewScientist writes about a team of Canadian scientists that created fuel cells that are powered by yeast feeding on the glucose in human blood.  It’s a first step, but the cells could eventually be adapted to work as batteries for medicial implants.  This is how I want my future subdermal iPod powered.
