Infinite water {Hack a Day}

Jul 5th 2008 2:35PM well, this is interesting, but heres how i would improve it:

use a tube to fill the tub from the bottom, rather than pouring it in from the top, possibly with a diffuser over the end of the tube, to minimize the sound and motion that might scare a cat away

If you do that, restrict the flow to something extremely low, to further reduce the disturbance in the water. your cat likely will not be drinking large amounts of water quickly, so you don't need a huge inrush of water to fill it back up.

That should sufficiently reduce the cat scaring qualities of the thing.

As far as all the other stuff about making it double-redundant etc, that seems like overkill. Just use a Normally closed valve and a robust sensor and i think you'd be fine, though you may want to put this in a place where overflow will cause the least amount of damage, just in case.

Casio touts "Blanview" transmissive LCD for outdoor use {Engadget}

Jul 2nd 2008 3:00PM Wow...
"Blanview"

WORST. NAME. EVAR.

It sounds like bland or blank, neither of which are positive for a display, and has no other meaning i can think of.... Who the hell thought that was a good idea? I KNOW someone will realize it and change the name, but seriously, why give it that name, ever? Whoever thought of that was seriously not thinking...

Dash Express now officially $300 {Engadget}

Jun 20th 2008 3:35PM @MasterCKO

My (3000GT) dashboard doesn't have any place that this thing can just "drape". That is kind of part of the reason i don't have one - i don't know where i would put it... "genious".

Volkswagen debuts zero-emission Tiguan HyMotion in the U.S. {Autoblog}

Jun 13th 2008 6:35PM Yeah, i was gonna comment on that too...
Autoblog, how could you make that mistake? You realize fuel cells just produce electricity, right? And that the fuel cell's electricity is used to drive an electric motor? So it's not "Fuel Cell or electric Motor", it's "Fuel Cell and electric motor", or "battery and electric motor", or both. Not sure how you could have missed that distinction... :/
