Real Nausicaa Glider

A certain Kazuhiko Hachiya from japan has taken it upon himself (and a team of artists and engineers) to actually build the Mehve jet-powered glider from Hayao Miyazaki's film Nausicaa. I really don't know what to write about this. The shear level of nerd godliness displayed hear has left me without words to convey its breadth.

Real Life Sixth Sense

Have you ever wanted a sixth sense ? Ever wonder what it would be like to be able to actually feel magnetic fields? As it turns out you can ! A couple of body-modification artists came up with a way to make it so you can actually FEEL electro magnetic fields. All it takes is an earth magnet, a finger, and a painful little cut to equip with this ability. Jarrel now says that he can actually feel magnetic fields even as weak as his laptop hard drive!

He can even tell how strong the fields is by how much the earth magnet oscilates within his fingertip! Kind of a neat concept. But I think I'll pass. There's something about coming to close to a particularly large magnet and having your finger ripped off doesn't sound to pleasant to me... Though I still think it's pretty cool.


I wonder what it's like to go into an airport for this guy ... ?

The New Guy In Town

Hi guys! I'm the new blogger in town and I'm glad to be here. Things I like to do include: Long walks on the beach, pretty flowers, lengthy poems involving all kinds of symbolism I can never quite seem to understand, .... Okay so not really. =P Anyway, I'll be the one bloggin' bout games and cool technology stuff. I'll post something cool as soon I find something.

Breakthrough: Computers Generate 3D Models from 2D Images

I don't completely understand how this works but I didn't invent it so that's not surprising. What is surprising are the implications brought on by software that can create 3D models from your everyday photographs. Now all we need is some kind of good 3D display and even old films could be new again and 3D! Yay?

Knitta~ A Different Kind of Graffiti Tagging

If you ever go out to your car one day and find a hand-knitted antenna cozy on it, it just might be one of these people.

Completely unrelated to video games, but too cool nonetheless.

You may have heard of these guys before, as they have been in the real news and even the fake news on SNL, but if you haven't seen their pics or checked out their site you should go give it a look. Knitta Please!

Here is a shot on the Great Wall in China.
