A Nice Post-Apocalyptic War Wagon
This thing looks pretty badass. Let's just hope it's diesel. I wouldn't mind some submachinegun ports on the sides for clearing out zombies. It probably won't matter, because ammunition will run out pretty fast. If the cannon is a flamethrower though, that might help a bit. Of course, flaming zombies bring with them a different set of challenges.

Bicycle Generator
This handy, portable bike generator is something you could build yourself. Or, you could just order one assembled. I'm thinking about building one, but if I ever got a big cash payday, I'd grab one of these. With the optional powerpack. That way you can store the energy in a battery and then use the battery to charge small devices. Devices which steal all the energy in the office here. Energy which I have to pay a portion of. If I could power my laptop, cell phone, media player, camera batteries, gameboy, and even charge batteries for remote controls and such, all from the comfort of a bicycle, I'm game.

Set in a barren, futuristic Tokyo of highways and wastelands, a rowdy group of punk bands and their fans gather to protest the construction of a nuclear power plant. Riot police and the factory owner's yakuza friends soon move in to break it up. However, the arrival of a pair of mysterious, metal-clad bikers and a revolt among the disgruntled construction crew makes for a situation that spirals dangerously out of control...
Directed by Sogo Ishii (Electric Dragon 80,000V, Gojoe, Angel Dust), Burst City boasts an impressive lineup of early 80's Japanese punk bands, including The Stalin, Battle Rockers, The Roosters, and Inu. An eclectic mix of Mad Max-style imagery with yakuza elements, filtered though a punk sensibility, Burst City reveals the seeds of many of the developments in contemporary Japanese cinema and beyond. Brimming with incredible energy and first-rate rock `n' roll, Burst City is a lost masterpiece of extreme cinema that has influenced everyone from Takashi Miike to Shinya Tsukamoto.
