Nanobama: Barack Obama in Nanotubes
8:20AM Mark Wilson | A technique known as nanolithography was used to build these Obama faces, combining 150 million carbon nanotubes to construct each individual half-millimeter visage. Depending on your political leanings, the result is either the cutest wittle powitician ever or proof that science, in the wrong hands, will engineer miniature robotic Democrats who distract with a message of hope while eating our flesh. As for the undecideds…I’ll be honest here. I’m so sick of hearing what those dudes “think.” [Flickr via Wired] More »

Democrats and Republicans Get Special Edition Zunes For Their Conventions
9:50AM Jason Chen | digg_skin = 'compact'; digg_bgcolor = '#f1f8fa'; digg_url = 'http://digg.com/gadgets/Democrats_and_Republicans_Get_Special_Edition_Zunes'; Microsoft’s just slapped together a pair of special edition Zunes for both the Republican and the Democratic National Conventions and they look pretty damn great. The one for the DNC is awarded for the winner of the “Green Delegate Challenge”, which is contest for delegations that “demonstrate the highest level of commitment to offsetting their carbon footprint from attending the Convention.”. Theirs has a nice looking tree on the back. The RNC’s, on the other hand, just has the blurb about environmental stuff as well as the picture of the RNC logo. Oh, and it’s red, not green.
