This is a cool bar/club that is located in Melbourne, Australia. I haven’t personally been there, but would love the chance to go and take some photos there.
It’s located down an alley and is set up to look like a science/chemistry lab, with the ’scholarly’ theme continued in its three levels. For more info see […]

How to fold a t-shirt in around 5 seconds!! Yes it is possible if you practice many times haha
This is really neat, I tried it myself and it really works!

- Instructions with stills from the video

Some very cool watches are being made these days. Sure I do like the simple elegance and grace of classical timepieces. But who can really afford them and why not have a little funkiness?
There’s a lot of those thick wristed watches, from Fossil and sporty ones from various companies. Yet I still haven’t […]

Book Covers are getting much more colorful and arty. And like the old saying goes “don’t judge a book by its cover”, but it’s increasingly hard to do. As books are looking much more beautiful and I immediately think ‘wow must have some pretty cool stuff inside’. And it no longer seems that paperbacks are […]

Flickeur is an amazing creation. It takes random photos off of Flickr and aranges them in a dreamy and sometimes bizarre way. When I say bizarre, I mean some of the transitions and and effects seem like they were made especially for the photos! It’s just like the description, the presentation can resemble […]

Yes more crazy google video! This time it’s the girls from Morning Musume.
Oh no it’s a goanna (a type of lizard from Australia)!! Mahahahaha
This truly is some whacked out stuff that could only happen in Japan. The girls have a piece of meat attached to their foreheads. They pop their heads up through holes in […]

“In 1969 Willard S. Boyle and George E. Smith, while working at Bell Laboratories, designed the first Charge Coupled Device (CCD), a working version was produced just a year later. The CCD as we know has become the bedrock the digital imaging revolution including digital photography and video. They have just been honored with the […]

Cheap cameras reborn as kistchy playthings resplendant with glass beads, fake diamonds and rubies!
Gala Collection and more amazing old cameras!

It’s interesting to know that movie studios in America embed all sorts of “invisible” information into reels of film. From forensic watermarking, high pitch sounds to extra frames. All this being undectable to the average human or moviegoer.
Unfortunately this hasn’t really done too much to stop bootlegging. Plenty of people still secretly record movies in […]

They suuuure are! This little film from 1979 reminded me of those education films that are frequently parodied on The Simpsons. But this one’s hip and trippy! Ok the story is, a girl and a boy talk about drugs while making lego. The girl talks about what some “lady” told her about drugs (we […]

“Much to the delight of many Leica aficionados there’s now more than a hint that Leica are readying a digital version of the M7 rangefinder camera. Stefan Daniel of Leica is quoted in the latest edition of LFI (Leica Fotografie International) magazine as saying “The Digital M will be introduced as a complete package that […]

“Bacteria genetically engineered to respond to light have not only resulted an image ten times sharper than a high-resolution printer, but could help bring researchers one step closer to printing complex biological materials, such as spider silk or human skin for burn victims.”

While browsing through ThinkGeek I found another amazing “gadget”. I think this is even more interesting than the ant farm. A self sustaining ecosystem! You’ll find two forms of active micro-organisms (bright red shrimp and algae) existing in a clear “soup” of filtered sea water. No need to feed or clean either, just give them […]

All I can say is WOW! This makes having an ant farm way cooler! You can even get an LED base so your little farm “glows”. Ok the deal behind this is, supposedly the technology they used in a NASA 2003 mission for studying how animals fare in zero gravity led to this. The blue […]

Cool looking mice…but that’s about it. Personally I’d like an update to mice to make them more comfortable to use. (Note to self; I should probably invest in a trackball or a soft plastic grip mouse).
But if they were a little cheaper I’d buy one, especially if you could customize your own!

Swank Signs is very cool. Sure the laugh factor can vary but with so many people commenting your sure to find a funny statement. It’s basically a place for commenting on different signs from around the world. Whether they’re traffic, hazzard or otherwise.
The quote below goes with the sign here. I thought it was […]

Here are some of the most amazing shots of water drops I’ve ever seen. With digital cameras it makes it so easy for anyone to try out techniques which would have tried anyones patience with just film.
There’s many unique examples which could never be duplicated again. For me that’s what makes it so special, the […]

I think I MAY NEED A BATHROOM break. Is this possible? G.W.Bush
Well that’s what the memo said when Dubya sent a note to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during a Security Council meeting at the 2005 World Summit and 60th General Assembly of the United Nations.
Isn’t it interesting the words he chose to […]

This short flash clip is hilarious (via a friends blog). Well maybe not that funny, but I’ve never seen anything quite like it. The closest that comes to this is some songs and animation about living on the farm and elephant droppings (hard to explain, I’ll need to provide links when I find them).

Update: More […]
