Not much is known about the above video, though it’s pretty fun to observe. A man has 5 metronomes going at once on a plank of wood. At one point, the plank is placed on top of two soda cans and the metronomes begin to sync up. I have no clue how this was done. Any ideas? Seems like a cool thing to do during a rainy day.
Perhaps you popped a hard one last week browsing the Internet. Maybe it was because you’re into leather, maybe you saw Tera Patrick blowing Peter North or perhaps you were one of the many geeks who saw a Photoshopped picture of Jessica Rabbit turned into a human.
Now, thanks to the wonder of video capture, you can see how the man behind the transformation put her together. It’s only the first hour of work crammed into a ten minute video but it’s well worth the watch. Turns out her face was reconstructed from part Angelina Jolie, part Allison Hannigan and Andrew’s mustache. Oh my…
If you have a pet fish, you understand that they can become pretty boring after a while. They’re nice to look at when you’re in need of some relaxation, but other than that, we’re pretty much slaves to our fish masters, feeding them and cleaning up their shit as they deem fit.
The R2 Fish School Kit is said to be “everything you need to teach your fish tricks.” And by the looks of the above video, you can get your fish to do some pretty cool shit to show off to all of your fellow fish loving friends, including playing soccer, and dodging along various obstacles.
We already let you know that the Maker Faire was this past weekend, so we hope you got a chance to check it out. If not, here’s one of the better highlights from the event. Seems Pleo, the robotic dinosaur toy everyone goes apeshit about, got his ass handed to him by Battlebot, a robot that looks like a lawnmower and chops off limbs like one too.
After the jump, check out the video of Pleo getting placed in the middle of the arena. 30 seconds later, the fun begins.
I decided this homebrew LED coffee table is the perfect way to begin a new week. It’s called Da Table and features a grid of LED lights right below the surface of the table. The grid can also be programmed to display a number of messages and patterns through an integrated micro controller. Something tells me a cheeseball would buy this and propose to his girlfriend via a god damned coffee table.
While it’s not an energy-efficient table, per se, it probably won’t make a huge dent in your electric bill either.
I used to spend hours tapping away at the original Game Boy, hoping to improve my Tetris score. While my score sort of topped out and some point, the Tetris soundtrack will always be stuck in my head.
The funny thing is, that there was a setting in the original game which allowed you to choose from an assortment of songs. The default Tetris song was always my favorite. A fine mix of MIDI and Arabian sounds.This video shows a trio of Tetris fans performing the default theme song using bottles. I always knew blowing a certain way on bottles creates a tone but I never imagined composing a full blown cover song with the damn things.
Jesus was known for a wide assortment of parlor tricks. If I had to choose one of Jesus’ powers, it would have to be turning water into wine, just because I’m a drunk badass like that. Arcstream AV is conquering another one of those biblical tricks with their interactive “Living Image” exhibit at The Science Museum in South Kensington, London.
Living Image uses a 6,500 lumens overhead projector and a variety of sensors that let the 1024 x 768 image of water change in real-time, depending on the visitor’s interaction with the floor display. Special infrared sensors allow for more than one person to interact with the displays at one time. Check out an awesome demo video after the jump. (more…)
U.K. company Clustarack knows exactly how to bring all the geeks to the yard and yes, its ad is better than yours. Seemingly inspired from a Honda car commercial I saw a few years back, Clustarack created a dynamic living advertisement using nothing but the contents of a printing room.
The results can only be described as a disastrous domino effect, which totally manhandles the office itself, yet does a great job introducing their company. Take note graphic designers: this is what happens when you don’t clean up after yourself. Check out some bonus behind the scenes viral footage below. (more…)
Playing racing games can sometimes be pretty one-dimensional, especially on a 16-bit gaming console. This was a time when there were no vibrating gaming controllers, so racing was just about as real as walking with your hands reaching out in front of you, grasping on to an imaginary wheel.
But if you could take the SNES system playing Super Mario Kart, and modify it so that a high-end motion simulator can recreate engine vibrations, pavement texture and high frequency suspension vibration, you have a much more interesting experience on your hands. Check out the video above to see the experience.
Normally, when new USB drive hits the market, it’s not cause for concern in the slightest. But I have a feeling that this particular one-gigabyte drive will not only turn heads like that $300,000 watch you wish you owned, but will also encourage females to hop on your genitalia and ride you like a ferris wheel.
Now look at that box. What would you guess is inside? Take a guess.
