When Wolfenstein 3-D and Flickr wanted to get married, I gave them my best wishes. Just kidding, software and photo sharing sites can’t get married, silly. They can, however, be fused. Thanks to some anonymous geek with Javascript skills, this mashup of the popular FPS shooter game and photo sharing site takes the best from both and allows users to see their pictures hanging in the galleries of the Third Reich. That’s actually kind of creepy, now that I think about it.

It’s simple to use: just enter your Flickr username and let the app collect your photos. It then maps them on to the walls of a 3-D maze resembling Castle Wolfenstein. Awesome concept but it performs rather sluggishly when high res photos are taken into account, or if you just have a slow computer. Hey, it beats having Nazi propaganda on the walls.

Peter Callesen’s website seems to be the holy grail of papercraft. I’ve never heard of him before but his works are absolutely astonishing. I’m particularly fond of this miniature castle Callesen made out of paper. It’s one of the most intricate works of papercraft I’ve seen and it looks very medieval. Be sure to visit his site for the full tour of his works, many of which you’ve never seen before.

You want technology? I’ve got your technology right here, pal. It’s called a huge inflatable bouncy castle at some day camp. When you throw a little girl on it and jump on it, it’s going to launch her in the air, right? Wrong. Launch is the understatement of the year for this video.

Would a piggy bank that can save up to $465.46 dollars encourage you to abandon the console RPG you’re playing in favor of hording your money in this game? Staring at it in astonishment, amazed by the fact that it’s a RPG on a piggy bank. You’ll mindlessly drop coins in it, one at a time, at a slow pace. Before long, you’ll realize that all the gear you bought for your character was for naught; you were playing nothing more than Tamagotchi with a bank account . You’ll want all your money back to go get some White Castle. Then you’ll never touch this machine again.
