World's Tallest Hotel

Did you know the world's tallest hotel is in the city of Shanghai.

I am hearing so many things about this new frontier over in the far east and recently got an email from UrbanDaddy about this hotel.

T3 Motion vs. Segway

This is one of the T3 Motions that we have in Hoboken, NJ which the Police Department uses sometimes to direct traffic for certain occassions.
It reaches speed up to 25 m.p.h. and designed with the input of law enforcement.
T3 Series feature a zero-degree turning radius and compact design-perfect for maneuvering through crowds and tight spaces.

The quiet environmentally-friendly zero gas emission vehicles include an integrated LED lighting system and an incomparable low cost of operation running for less than $.10 cents/day and never requiring any down time due to the T3's two re-chargeable, lightweight batteries.

But it looks like China's SWAT team using Segway? that they are using overseas. A counter-terrorist exercise known as "Taishan 2008," took place for this shot in Jinan, Shandong Province, China. They were training probably for the 2008 Olympics which starts August 8, 2008.




I really can't see them using the Segway but imagine if they had the Motorcyle Mojo that would be interesting but of course not environmental friendly.

I do

These are images of a couple who planned a wedding during the earthquake in Sichuan, China when it hit 7.9 M on the Richter scale. The earthquake according to reports from Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province went for 3 minutes. You will see images of the church tumbling down luckily no one was hurt and everyone was safe and sound.








I think this image really sums it up and should make it as one of the most powerful images of 2008. Just think about it, on one of your most important days of your life and a natural disaster occurs right before your eyes.

The last update is around under 70,000 civilians died.

The earthquake left about 4.8 million people homeless and some say it may go up to 11 million.
