Are you afraid to commit to a tattoo for the rest of your life? Looks like you can finally have your cake and eat it too. Company Freedom-2 in NYC has come up with a new type of ink that still lasts a lifetime, yet can be removed in one fell swoop of a laser.

“I was the first recipient of a Freedom-2 tattoo. I wore it for several months and then had it lasered off. Now my arm is completely clean,” said Martin Schmieg, president and CEO Freedom-2.

The technique uses a standard needle to inject plastic beads that contain bioabsorbable dies. Just like regular tattoos, those particles will be stored in the upper dermis of the skin. The difference is that this microencapsulated ink can be dissolved by a single pass of a laser. The laser actually bursts the microscopic beads open to be absorbed by the body’s immune system.

Like most new technologies this wonder product does come at a price, four times that of regular ink. They say it will be ready for the marketplace this fall, just in time for your next Vegas wedding. Innovation: making regrettable decisions that much easier!

BioDiesel can be made as cheap as $0.90 per gallon in the comfort of your own garage. This processed fuel comes from vegetable oils and animal fats. It’s usually mixed with market diesel and 5%-40% biodiesel, with some cars running at 100%.

Etruk, a UK based company, produces several sizes that allow you to home brew a high quality biodiesel for your own cars. It’s simple, they say, you put virgin feed stock or used cooking oil in, you get excellent quality, cost-effective fuel that produces 60% less CO2.

Be careful not to go blabbing about how much money your rolling in to everyone. If your state finds out that your creating your own fuel they may try to hit you with back taxes. The idea is that if your not paying taxes at the pump and using public roads that they still want their cut.

Sizes come in 10.5 gallons – $1,825, 21 gallons – $3,050 and 53 gallons – $3,660. Like most renewable energy sources, an investment needs to be made until you start cashing in on the savings. Yet oh how sweet it will be when you can finally stick it to the gas man.

If you’re anything like me you vividly remember Back to the Future’s promise of hover boards and flying cars around 2015. The problem is that I still haven’t seen a flying Delorean overhead with T-Minus 8 years to go; until now.

The Moller M200G Volantor is entering production at a whopping height of 10 feet and max speeds of up to 50mph for 90 minute flights. Although this bad boy won’t be turning heads on the highway just yet, it is being marketed as a form of off roading. Dr. Moller is quoted,

It’s not a hovercraft, although its operation is just as easy. You can speed over rocks, swampland, fences, or log infested waterways with ease because you’re not limited by the surface. The electronics keep the craft stabilized at no more than 10 feet altitude, which places the craft within ground effect where extra lift is obtained from operating near the ground. This lets you glide over terrain at 50 mph that would stop most other vehicles.

It seems as if the crafts have ample orders, counting in at 67. Maximum payload is 250 pounds at a cost of about $90,000.

Maybe we are on track, now if we could just dig up a prototype hover board.
