Destruction in Motion

Again with the high speed photography. Some very nice looking images - looks like some people got together in their hotel room and shot a bunch of random things. Here are a bunch of other great hi-speed photos for your enjoyment. Please note Atari sm124 monochrome monitor getting obliterated.

All your MIDI are Belong to Us!

I am… Locutus of BOOOOORG!! Uh.. yeah. Perhaps the Borg were simply really advanced human musicians trying to write a really hardcore jungle track. The Gipsy Motion Capture Midi Controller lets you translate your body movements into midi messages, creating all sort of exciting compositions. This is not some art project or exhibit piece… it’s a serious product. Get one now! But don’t be surprised if you get assaulted by Trekkies flinging Borg jokes. Videos are funny.

Watching You Watching Me

The search for a new wrist timepiece is on again. While the ever ubergeeky binary watch is still in the running, this understated chunky DKNY Square Digital Watch sure is looking good! It’s got some of that retro yummyness without the gaudy metal, requisite LED matrix, and weird doo-dads.

CSI Foley Antics

I grind teeth together whenever I hear a dot matrix printer sound used for a modern inkjet printer on CSI. For a show that likes to think it’s using cutting edge special effects to look cool, I think that’s pretty sad. Well, it turns out that their foley artist doesn’t restrict themselves to only dot matrix printers to shape the sonic mind-scape (yuh huh, you heard me!) of the CSI lab… Some of the Miami lab’s ‘New fancy gear’ sounds just like a Spectrum ZX - an early computer in the era of Amiga & Atari ST. Jeez, everything these days is retro-modern ;) Interested how sounds are foleyed?

Lazy Sunday Iterations

Well, it’s very obvious that a whole lot of people loved Lazy Sunday, the SNL digital short. Now some very not-lazy people have been creating the requisite iterations of the hilarious skit. This is the wonderful genius that is set free when material is released under a Creative Commons license. ;)
