Well not quite, but the Earthrace boat is up for sale. You can have the coolest biodiesel boat on the block for a paltry US$1.5 million. It is a one-of-a-kind after all. In June 2008, the amazing Earthrace vessel set a new world record for a powerboat to circle the globe, and she did this with 100% renewable biodiesel fuel, and a net zero carbon footprint.

It’s a bit like Adobe Kuler, but instead of creating the colour palette yourself, Color Hunter does all the hard work. Leaving you with a palette and colour codes for use on websites, presentations, artwork or whatever. You can also search Color Hunter via tags, say if you wanted a palette for a sunny sandy beach or the Australian Outback or even deepest, darkest…

Frankly it’s just not good enough. If this is you then get yourself a remote control moon from the Discovery Store. It hangs on the wall, has a built-in light sensor so it knows when to turn on and rotates through 12 lunar phases. It even has…

The K-Box from Kerchoonz is yet another sound generator which promises to deliver speaker quality audio from any flat surface like a table or window.
