Wow - those giant robotic wheelchairs (i-unit?) are the rickshaws of the future! I wonder how fast it could zip me down the 404 to Yonge & Eg…. Although, those non-human magnetic powered cars are pretty cool too… they make petrol, electric AND hydrogen cars look like dinosaurs!

That science centre place you went to was pretty damn cool. Don’t think I could have done the ferris wheel though - it’s a combination of my worst nightmares: stuck in a glass bubble/high above the ground/in a land where no one can understands me :)

Yeah, they’re made by Toyota. There’s one that is supposed to have a fast mode that uses GPS or something to take you to where you want to go with no intervention.

There’s even one with legs!

The Center for Emerging Science and Technology is definitely cool. There are two other floors I didn’t have time to even get to… but that’s Tokyo — everything is big.

That museum is awesome!! Why oh why don;t we have something that cool here? The science center seems rather bogus in comparison
