Equal parts Sydney Australia Opera House and Airstream [ site here ] the Opera Mobile Holiday Home Caravan/Trailer unfolds to show two beds, hot and cold water and an all-important toilet as well as LED lighting.

It is not a tent, not a caravan and not a motor home. The new mobile holiday home designed by Axel Enthoven has been christened Opera for its striking shape, reminiscent of the Sydney Opera House. The subtitle chosen is Your Suite in Nature to suggest the best of hotel rooms, but in the heart of nature in this case. The Opera allows you to stay in the most beautiful places, but with the luxury of a wine cabinet, warm-air heating, espresso bar and an enclosed teak veranda. This nomadic, contemporary living tent offers the quality of a luxury yacht combined with the outdoor feeling of camping under canvas.

For all of that, I’m willing the price will be quite expensive. The Opera will be presented for the first time at the Design at Work trade fair in Kortrijk from 8 to 10 December.

Reportedly coming out for the Sony PSP fourth quarter 2009, Motorstorm: Arctic Edge. I will finally have a chance to get the dust off of my Sony PSP since the 5.03 upgrade. I love this series on the PS3.

After Megatron, there was no greater villain than Laird James McCullen Destro XXIV, or just plain old Destro. He had a metal mask that somehow moved, had the Baroness on friggin’ lock down and despite being Scottish in origin, had a baritone voice fitting of a Barry White’s long-lost third cousin and was an arms dealer that had access to some of the most harmful pieces of weaponry on the planet. And was basically on his own side at all times.

And somehow… this upcoming GI Joe movie puts the old Doctor Who, Christopher Eccleston as Destro. I won’t even start to rant about their choice for Cobra Commander – who I never really liked in the cartoons.

You could have made Destro the villain I always saw him to be. But… no. I am not looking forward to this movie.
