I really like POV because of the way it tricks your brain into seeing images. I had a toy when I was younger that looked a lot like a flat “bat” that had a small keyboard on it. I typed in messages and then would wave it back and forth and it would “print” the […]

Classic video games meets ultra portability. MAME (or at least a small portion of MAME) has been ported to the 5G iPod (includes the video and nano). Currently it has no sound support yet and about 70% of original speed but those are small issues they plan to work out. Support for 4G iPods should […]

I originally discovered this by casually clicking through Google Video and found it through the “popular” items. (Why are there so man duplicates??) Anyway, I came across a video that I've been mesmerized by since. What happens when a 500kv switch attempts to open and fails? A terrific light show– in the daytime. A search […]

With the winter solstice (Dec 22, 2005) now past us, we look forward to the ever so slightly increasing amount of daylight. It's always tough to go to work mostly in the dark, only to emerge 8 hours later– also in the dark. The winter solstice reminds me of an elementary science class topic. Can […]

The juxtoposition that David Lachapelle was able to capture with this series of photos is amazing. Look around while you're there, he was also responsible for the highly stylized Burger King commercial featuring Hootie as a cowboy singing the praises of a Whopper. Link. Thanks, James!

An obsessive collection of moist towelettes from around the world. Be sure to play the game of memroy while there. Link Thanks, Button Monkey!

Amazon has begun a service called the Mechanical Turk. What is a mechanical turk you may ask? See an answer here. Many problems that seem easy for humans to solve are sometimes extremely costly in terms of computing time or even worse difficult or impossible to solve, such as transcription of audio or translation of […]

After the successful building of our first MAME cocktail cabinet, we've decided to build another one. The first cabinet was built to look as close as possible to a Ms. Pac-Man cocktail table. The next one will be the same style, but we're loosening up on the graphics, creating a custom underlay and control panels […]
