I have always been impressed by hybrid vehicles and in my opinion, hybrid vehicles are where the future lies. Randy Chlids has designed the strange ‘Apex’, which imbibes the qualities of a truck, a car, motorcycle and even a helicopter. The vehicle runs on 4 or 6 cylinders with engines that generate 300hp. It also comes with hydro-formed chassis framework.
The body of the Apex is made of carbon, stainless steel and aluminum. The concept looks futuristic and interesting but I can’t help but wonder if it will ever reach the markets. Such fantastic sounding vehicles usually end up being a file in a computer and forgotten. However, if ever manufactured, it promises all weather suitability, a modular design, and would appeal to both the masses and the elite.

After “Michelangelo, The Dotta Mano” (Michelangelo, the main scholarly), it’s “La Dotta Mano” (the learned hand) for art lovers. The name ‘Michelangelo’ is being refreshed in our minds with the efforts of Marilena Ferrari, its Italian publisher who thinks books are losing their identity due to the Internet which is acting as its nemesis. An extravagant, 62-pound handmade tome depicting the life and work of Michelangelo has arrived at the New York Public Library, fresh from publication in Italy. The book is filled with photographs of Michelangelo’s drawings and sculptures — creations from the Sistine Chapel ceiling to his very personal poetry. The velvet- and marble-bound, most expensive book – “La Dotta Mano” will go on public display this coming Tuesday morning through Dec. 8.
