Bus-a-Bus: Verdier is a local design firm that has created the concept car for the real road warrior: a Volkswagen Westfalia bus for the future, based on the retro sixties design beloved by hippies, surfers and hot-rodders. For the uninitiated, the Westfalia shoehorned a pop-top, sink, stove and 2 double beds into a Volkswagen bus, creating a micro-motor home. Verdier ups the ante with solar panels, hydraulics, an outdoor kitchen and two tents. The result is more spacious that your apartment. Check out the Michelin-award winning design at www.verdier.ca.

Real man: This pair of 3D models show what a man would look like if his body parts were sized in proportion to the area of the brain concerned with its sensory perception or its movement. Big hands, big lips, big tongue, big, um, lips. One of them kind of looks like Aerosmith frontman and Liv's dad Steven Tyler. The other has a lot of trouble picking his nose. Hands up at http://jwz.livejournal.com/422384.html.
