And now you must play with him in the woods.

Meet Ira.

Ira is a nice floating head that lives in the woods and also a garage.

Everyone's gotta live somewhere, right?

Ira was made by the graphics geniuses over at Nvidia to demonstrate the very latest and best in computer game graphics.

Here's Ira hanging out by himself downtown by some neon signs. Don't be afraid. Ira comes from a good family, I swear.

Before Ira, there was Human Head.

He didn't have eyes, but no one's perfect.

At some point — we’re not sure when — Sony’s naming scheme for laptops got confusing. There was the C series and the E series. The S, T, Z and even the F (RIP). Fortunately, Sony’s been working to clear things up: its first Windows 8 products all had descriptive names like “Duo” or “Tap.” Now, it’s streamlining its mainstream notebooks too. The company just unveiled some redesigned models for back-to-school season, and they’re all named ‘Fit.’ As the replacement to the entry-level E series and most of the T line, the Fit family includes both lower-end models (the Fit 14E / Fit 15E) and premium ones (the Fit 14 / Fit 15). They’ll be available this month, starting at $ 550 and going all the way up to $ 2,210, depending on how many upgrades you check off during the configuration process.

Regardless, there are certain specs you’ll find across the board – not just on the Fit machines, mind you, but on every Sony PC announced this season. These include NFC, backlit keyboards and webcams with Sony’s Exmor R imaging tech for better low-light performance. They’ll all have 1080p screens, too, with the exception of the 14-inch Fits, which start at 1,600 x 900. Both the Fit and Fit E will be offered with optional NVIDIA GT 740M GPUs (1GB or 2GB), touchscreens, optical drives and a choice of Core i3, i5 and i7 processors (Ivy Bridge for now). Ultimately, then, the difference between the two comes down to build quality: the Fit E is made of plastic, whereas the Fit has a thinner aluminum chassis, with the fans hidden above the keyboard, and a lid that covers the hinge. Also, the Fit will be offered with SSDs, with hybrid drives being the base option; the Fit E comes standard with a regular HDD and can be upgraded to a hybrid drive — and in any event, all of these will be available later this month.

It’s cold outside, but the cars at this week’s North American International Auto Show were positively sizzling — and Inhabitat sent several writers to report on the latest green cars to be unveiled at the show. Among the standouts at this year’s auto show were Acura, which unveiled its sleek new NSX hybrid sports car, and Tesla, which showcased its all-electric Model X. Also on display in Detroit was Cadillac’s 2014 ELR extended range EV with its gorgeous new interior. Want to see all the hottest rides from NAIAS 2013?

While we were mostly preoccupied with the shiny new cars in Detroit, there were also plenty of exciting green architecture developments this week. Ronald Lu & Partners just announced that ZCB, the first net-zero energy building in Hong Kong is now open to the public. Meanwhile in China, the 2013 Harbin Ice Festival just kicked off in Zhaolin Park near the Songhua River — and it features some absolutely stunning castles made entirely from ice. And Wendy, the spiky blue pavilion from NYC-based architecture firm HWKN, made its debut in Abu Dhabi, and an Inhabitat reporter was on the scene to tour it.

Last week was a good one for renewable energy news. Japan announced that it will soon build the world’s largest offshore wind farm near Fukushima to compensate for scaling back its use of nuclear power since the 2011 meltdown. Electronics giant Panasonic unveiled the next-generation Ene-Farm, which is the world’s most efficient home fuel cell. Researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory developed a device that detects weak or defective silicon wafers, which could save the solar industry billions of dollars. And the California Public Utilities Commission announced that California installed an impressive 1 GW of solar power by the end of 2012 — the most of any state in the country.

Inhabitat also reported on a wide variety of green products last week, starting with the iRock, an ingenious rocking chair that recharges your iPad using kinetic energy. Industrial designer Max Gunawan unveiled the Lumio, a hardbound book that opens up to become a gorgeous low-energy lamp. A group of University of Toronto grads launched the NanoLight, which they claim is the world’s most efficient LED light bulb. Rethink Robotics, a Boston-based robotics firm created a $ 22,000 humanoid robot named Baxter, which the company thinks can help revive American manufacturing. And finally, in case you missed it, Inhabitat recently launched a photo contest with LightCollector — enter now for your chance to win $ 1,000!

Today, Mars rover Interest began its analysis of a rock called “Jake Matijevic.” The rock was named in honor of the surface operations system main engineer for every Mars rover purpose so far, who passed away in late August, simply 2 weeks after Interest efficiently landed on Mars. Interest will review “rock target Jake” hasing its arm-mounted Alpha Fragment X-Ray Spectrometer and its mast-mounted, laser-firing ChemCam, which has currently seen one test so far. Mars Science Lab project expert John Grotzinger informed Universe Today that the rock is fairly average and will provide a great basis to test Interest’s instruments. Grotzinger included, “to honor Jake and his contributions we have actually named the very first rock where we’re …
