Believe it or not but elephants can really paint! Today I came across a video on Youtube about an elephant artist painting with his trunk. It’s amazing to see these wonderful mammals painting original works of art. I have to admit that they are really better than I do at paining. Their talent has fascinated me…so I thought I share with you all some of their amazing works in the videos below. Prepare to be amazed…

The genius inventors at Microsoft are at it again with their high-tech innovations. They are developing the Microsoft Surface which is a new technology that allows one or many users to manipulate digital content by the use of natural motions, hand gestures or physical objects (i.e. camera, pda, cellphone, etc). The company plan to add this new technology in the hospitality businesses such as restaurants, hotels, retail stores, public entertainment venues and the military for tactical overviews.
The Microsoft Surface has five cameras inside the table that record reflections of infrared light from human fingertips. The Surface has been optimized to respond to 52 touches at a time. The most interesting features in the Surface are the direct interaction, multi-touch contact, multi-user experience and object recognition. The direct interaction allows the user(s) to launch and use an application without using a mouse or keyboard. The multi-touch contact enable multiple contact points with an interface which several people can interact with an application simultaneously.
The Microsoft Surface is a 30-inch (76 cm) display in a table-like form factor, 22 inches (56 cm) high, 21 inches (53 cm) deep, and 42 inches (107 cm) wide. The Surface tabletop is acrylic and its interior frame is powder-coated steel. The Surface runs on a custom version of Windows Vista and has wired Ethernet 10/100, wireless 802.11 b/g, and Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity.
The price of the Surface will be around $5,000 to $10,000 per unit and it will be available in 2011 for commercial purposes. However Microsoft said it expects prices to drop enough to make consumer versions feasible in 2010. This is not just a cool gadget to get people to interact and socialize, but it also is a great investment for businesses. I think it’s just a big version of the iPod Touch. What do you think?

If you ask me what can I do with the empty Red Bull cans, I will tell you that I could create a unique piece of art. It’s what Red Bull have been doing with their exhibition “Red Bull Art of Can” since 1997. The exhibition have been held throughout the world from Europe to New Zealand.
This year the exhibition will take place in Houston,Texas US from July 11 to July 25. This is actually a competition that is open to everyone. Whoever can build, sculpt, weld, glue, hammer, bend, fold, print, tape and paint can enter the competition. The artists around the world are asked to create works of art using the Red Bull cans as the primary medium. For more information on this competition click on this link Red Bull Art Of Can. You will see below some pictures of the amazing works that have been done in London, England back in 2005.
