My Vacation

I now have all my vacation plans. Wherever this is, and doing it.

Half Life 2 using the Wiimote

I love it when people take existing technologies and meld them into a pile of awesome. Nintendo Wii remote technology + a powerful PC game engine = Possibilities.
You crazy people and your crazy mods using crazy technology.

Running from Camera is a blog about a photographer who sets his camera on a 2 second time delay and tries to get as far away as possible. It adds a new element to all the settings.



I previously posted about this last year, but now CBS did a great piece on it.

The Internet Loves You

Tadeo is a fearless adventurer who decides to face a challenge, a great challenge. He's going to enter a very complex pyramid where he's going to find curious and dangerous surprises.
Tadeo has won numerous awards and is a really enjoyable short.


And now a word from your host, Bruce Lee. This screen test from 1964 shows a new side of Bruce Lee-- scaring old American businessmen.



The Jeep Waterfall is an innovation in jaw-dropping water-art I want to say. The aesthetics of a fountain mixed with the technology of a new media artist... I love it.

Fads, Robots, and Kittens!

This post brought to you by Neatorama.


Fads - A post of a previous article from Mental_Floss has a recount of "37 fads that swept the nation" From Hula Hoops to Goldfish swallowing, we have all done some pretty silly things.





Robots - This "Counter Crafting" robot is a prototype for a new type of robot that will supposedly be able to build entire houses at 1/5th the price and in a fraction of the time.




Kittens! - Who can resist a troop of kittens doing "ballet"?

The Artist, The Visionary, The Art

Todays post is brought to you by The Athanasius Kircher Society.



The Artist - Étienne-Jules Marey was a pioneer in photography, but I am most fond of his "Movements of Air" shots.








The Visionary - Evgen Bavcar is a phenomenal photographer and artist, and all without his sight. That's right, he's the blind photographer.







The Art - One of my favorite modern artists is of course Bansky. If you don't know Bansky you should check him out and see what you think. If you do know Bansky, then now is your chance to get a lot of his artwork in huge file formats for free!

The Internet Rainbow

This is very cool. The Internet Rainbow is a website that assigns you a color when you visit and adds it to an ever growing rainbow of visitors. I'm number 125,028. I'm Purple.

You're sisters paper doll's got nothin'

Danish artist Peter Callesen makes sublime paper cut-outs that make the mind giggle.









Sam Buxton over at Mikroworld makes fantastic metal cut-out sculptures that you can buy and fold yourself. Cheap too.








Carlo Giovani has a very impressive portfolio site, including some incredible paper craft.

For the city oriented, a new and beautiful photo of New York right after a sunset.

Zee Robots!

It's Robot Day!

First, the wonders of American Science & Surplus. Where else can you get Remote Controlled Spiders, or Glow In The Dark Maggots for two bucks?



Next, the fantastic Flaming Lotus Girls. You got to love people that make giant fire belching robots.





And, in case you are having a bad day, have a chuckle at the expense of a Furby in a microwave!



How can I show that and not show you his twisted brother. Tickle Me Elmo... ON FIRE!
Funny, creepy, and cute all in one smoldering fuzz ball.
