Army's New ‘smarTruck’
Equipped With Laser Gun and More
Inspired by 007
Dennis Wend's team created what is now called the "smarTruck," an 11,000-pound, 8-foot-wide, 22-foot-long behemoth of a vehicle. While it looks like an SUV with a glandular condition, the smarTruck is more of a truck, built on the bed of a Ford F-350.

Gehet hin und lomographiert!
Es begab sich zu Prag im Jahre 1992, da einem jungen Innsbrucker namens Matthias Fiegl eine kleine russische Kompaktkamera in die Hände fiel. Er brachte sein Fundstück mit nachhause, in seine Wiener Wohngemeinschaft, wo alsbald alle begannen, wild mit der Lomo drauflos zu knipsen. Die Ergebnisse der Herumknipserei wurden in der Küche aufgehängt und entfachten ein Lomo-Fieber bei all denjenigen, die die Bilder zu sehen bekamen.
