Ever want to randomly annoy your kids? Or someone else’s? You can’t hear the sound this app makes if you are over 30. It’s an age thing. Something about the hairs in your ear canal I think. Sorry. Anyway, the youngsters can hear it quite well and they tell me it sounds like there are… Read More »
Did you know there is an earth friendly type of paper called REPAP that is made of stone? No trees involved, just rock. Someone gave me a pad of it recently. I can honestly say it feels nicer to write on than plain old wood pulp-based paper. Interestingly, it offers the benefit of being free… Read More »
I’m no genome scientist, but to me it makes perfect sense that a programming language as complex as DNA would have undertones that can more effectively refine each aspect of any entity it defines over time. “Scientists have discovered a second code hiding within DNA. This second code contains information that changes how scientists read… Read More »
I’m no expert, but I know a little about 3-D printing. I mean, back in the day when Parametric and SolidWorks were ‘the thing’ in the 3-D modeling CAD world, I was patiently following the development of realtime prototyping solutions. They were pricey but still far cheaper than having models made by hand or with… Read More »
How may thousand do you count? I have the creepy crawlies now. Thanks for that. https://vine.co/v/h9PBY0Z2DIz BTW, the literal translation from Portugese is ‘super pubic hair’. Imagine. Brrr. I actually wouldn’t mind a thousand of those walking all over me – if I knew they were on the way first.
Remember that physics lab when you had to make standing waves with a Slinky and a jump rope in the school hallway? Change the slinky to a 3-D sound wave and you can pretty much visualize what’s happening here. The wave effectively becomes a surface which can support weight – and be moved. Imagine touch… Read More »
This is a classic example of creepy following eyes… Here’s the template in Green, Red and Blue. I feel a need for a Rottweiler version. (Can only be viewed with one eye or through a camera.) I made this one! Well, I cut it out and applied some crafty folding and taping technique…
I just watched this with my kid. After 10 seconds he starts holding his head. After another 5 my temples start throbbing. Quite the experience! Press PLAY. I dare you. Ouch. And on that note, I believe! The brain is a strange, highly complex place.
Two network / information security concerns showed up on my radar this week. They aren’t from normally anticipated places, so I thought I’d share. The first one originated in Chinese manufacturing plants. Apparently, some Russian inspectors found rogue WiFi hardware inside of random goods where they should’t find them. Concerned? Do you have a new… Read More »
If you had the ability to scan and print in 3D, what would you make first? What would you make a thousand of so you could make a business out of it? This is like large format printing when ink jet plotters became available years ago. The Sense 3D scanner from Cubify. Yet another 3D… Read More »
