Harp Made With Lasers

Merging two of the things I’m most thankful for during this holiday season; music and lasers. We�re so glad that [Jared] spent the time to produce such a fine looking body for the instrument. The strings that would traditionally produce the sound on a harp have been replaced with laser diodes shining at Cadmium Sulfide photo resistors. When a beam ...

Michael Jackson Composed the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Soundtrack

This video offers ironclad definitive proof (it IS on the internet, and as you know, everything on the internet is true) that Michael Jackson had a helping hand in composing the music for Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Please excuse the crappy introduction song. Not our video and sadly our mind-control device is in the shop, so we couldn’t alter the ...

Full-Sized iPhone Ocarina

You thought one measly iPhone and one measly app could be passed off as an actual Ocarina? Sorry Smule, we know you put your heart and soul into your Ocarina app, but this is the real deal.

Something about the original castle theme just irritated the hell out of me. That’s probably why it never reached the same iconic level as the other levels themes. Props to the band Nylithia for the ...

The Beatles Deconstructed with a Flowchart

Anything can be deconstructed with a flowchart and almost everything has been. Today, it’s the Beatles’ turn. I still think Hey Jude is at least a little bit about the Holocaust. Come on, think about it. Jude? Jude! Hey Jude! Hey Jew! Heil Hitlah! I’m sick of the Beatles and their Nazi propaganda. Link

Much Ado About Nothing: Google Music to Be a Music Search Engine

So, yeah, that big music service we were talking about earlier that Google was supposed to be launching? Turns out the truth of the the matter is slightly more anticlimactic than we had hoped. As it turns out, the Google Music service is actually going to be the One Box search engine, a search engine that will blend results from ...

The NES Console Guitar

The title of this post is in no way misleading. This is an actual working guitar made using an NES console! This must be the coolest damn mash-up in gaming history. I’ve heard people say gaming rocks, but this is ridiculous. Ridiculously awesome. Awesomely ridiculous. Awdiculous. Including Donkey Kong knobs and Mario switches, check out the video after the jump ...
