For the first time, all 1.8 million earthly species, including those recently discovered, will become available for scientists, students, and the rest of us common folk. Conceptualized by 2007 TED Winner E. O. Wilson, a consortium of educational and scientific institutions, including NASA, is creating an evolving Encyclopedia of Life (EOL,) an online database to help find out about and protect our planet.

Included in the online tome will be images, sound, video, location maps, and a multitude of information. Although individual pages were created in the ‘90s, in January the project received enough funding to research and categorize more scientific data. The EOL should be completed within the next ten years, unless another million species are discovered first.

Don’t ask us to explain it, but apparently people love watching cheese mature. Cheddarvision made its debut in December, and has had more than 1.2 million hits. What is the big deal? A 23-kilogram (~50 lbs.) slab of the dairy product is sitting in a dark storage barn in Westcombe, London, aging as a webcam keeps track of the event. It gets adjusted once a week to keep it’s shape. It also has its own MySpace with almost 860 “friends” and a time lapse of its first 3 months on YouTube.

“People from all over the world are e-mailing us about the cheese. Somebody has written lots of songs about it. It has been invited to a wedding. We’ve had post cards sent to it,” said its owner Tom Calvar.

Mr. Calvar, how about you get in touch and we can discuss the future of your cheese with some of those rabid eBay fans?

Here is a bit more useless technology that looks cool, but does almost nothing, although it may freak out some of your friends if you don’t turn it on until the party has gone until the wee hours of the morning. Using the same technology as those billboards that almost force you off the highway, the Changing Cupboard changes its pixelated images every few seconds. Available from Milan’s Front, choose among three different designs. We are still looking for the handle.

Not merely content to sit by while the highly awaited “Spiderman 3” movie is released May 4, Activision is also planning to release its video game at the same time. The plot is basically the same, as our web-fingered hero has to deal with the Sandman as well as his own dark side. Sales of the first two Spidey games pulled in about $300 million for the company, according to game research company NCD. This one is available for almost every game system out there, so contact Activision if you want to stay in the loop.
