Mr Deity is a bimonthly video podcast featuring a bumbling, capricious and conceited version of the Christian god as he creates the Universe. Watch him try and get a book deal for the bible, sign on a co-Deity (Jesus) and discuss the torments of hell with his girlfriend Lucy(fer).
The show strikes the careless mood of Mr Deity just right and we get his amusing and random decisions about what will be allowed in his universe.
From the last show:
Larry: Bestiality?
Mr Deity: Ahh.. that’s no good. That’s gotta be a capital offense for everyone involved.
Larry: The animal too?
Mr Deity: Especially the animal
Larry: …boy… that’s a really bad day for the animal, sir
Their goal is to turn it into a TV show, but I think it’s perfect in its current format.

According to The Future, the door hinge will go the way of the horse and buggy. All doors will open by sliding into the wall, regardless of how inefficient or space-occupying that may be.
Today, we are one step closer to that reality. A company in Southern California sells what they call a disappearing car door. A snooty English narrator on the company video tells us that, rather than use a door hinge like the hoi polloi, rich people need a door that descends vertically into the base of their car. The technology is really quite impressive and worth a look, despite the cheesiness of the website.
