Tintin with a tauntaun. That is all. [Concept Art]

Sun, 11/27/2011 - 07:00
If we're going to place Benjamin Rivers' illustration of Hergé's boy adventurer in canon, then the Himalayas must be chock full of bipedal creatures whose olfactory formidableness is perpetually underestimated. Additionally, you can find a print celebrating the lost Japanese robot classic Bucket Robot and Golden Man over at Rivers' site. Click on the above image to expand.

Tilt Gives You 3D Visualization of a Webpage

Sun, 10/30/2011 - 23:01

Tilt represents a new way of visualizing a web page. This tool creates a 3D representation of the document, with the purpose of displaying, understanding and easily analyzing the DOM.

It will take advantage of the great tools Firefox has to offer, as it is an extension which contains a WebGL implementation, providing rich user-experience, fun interaction and useful information, while taking full advantage of 3D hardware acceleration, GLSL shaders and what OpenGL ES 2.0 has to offer.

The implementation consists of a Firefox extension containing a 3D representation of a web page, as both a fun visualization tool and a developer-friendly environment for debugging the document’s structure, contents and nesting of the DOM tree. Various information besides the actual contents will be displayed on request, regarding each node’s type, class, id, and other attributes if available. The rendering will be dynamic, in-browser, using WebGL and GLSL shaders.

Requirements: Firefox
Demo: https://github.com/victorporof/Tilt

OMG -- Just Like Luke Skywalker!: Man Gets Smartphone Dock Installed In Prosthetic Limb

Thu, 10/27/2011 - 08:30
Trevor Prideaux doesn't have a left forearm but does have a smartphone. Now? Now he has a prosthetic forearm with a smartphone inside. Good lookin', Trevor, we're actually pretty similar today (I have a Nokia in my ass I'm gonna try to sneak to a friend in the clink). He said: "From owning a mobile phone and with the invention of the iPhone, it became clear that this piece of technology was not ideally suited to be used with only one hand. "When testing an iPhone, with the thoughts of purchase, I had to balance it on my prosthetic limb to text. Trevor contacted Apple to try and get hold of a blank iPhone casing to test it out, but he said the communications giant refused to co-operate. Apple: they don't care about your disability. Also, how you gonna name something a Genius Bar and not serve drinks? Hey blue-shirt -- double bourbon with an ice cube. "We don't actually sell alcohol here." Oh you don't, do you? Well! *popping wheelchair wheelies through the MacBooks* Man gets smartphone dock built into prosthetic arm [telegraph] Thanks to Thaylor and drippy, who agree a prosthesis with a motion-based charger would've been even more impressive. Yeah -- this is just a fake arm with a hole cut out!(author unknown)

Love this typewriter-part fraidy cat from Jeremy Mayer, a real favorite around here. It's an older piece, dated 2000.

Oil Springs of Catan explores the tragedy of the commons [Tabletop Games]

Sun, 10/23/2011 - 07:30
Settlers of Catan has plenty of expansions that change the dynamics of the game, forcing the players to work together, putting a focus on exploration, or drawing emphasis to a certain section of the map. A new variation from publisher Mayfair Games will add a new wrinkle to the basic game, allowing some players to get a boost from their oil fields at the possible cost of ruining the entire island of Catan.

1980s cartoon heroes as persons of leisure

Fri, 10/21/2011 - 11:35

Obviously, Fab Ciraolo's newly-recovered illustrations of Oldschool Heroes provide more evidence of the ruthless looting of 19A0s culture by the subsequent memetic counterrevolution.

DIY Case for iPhone 4

Wed, 10/19/2011 - 01:00

Yes, you can cross-stitch your own artwork onto this nifty iPhone 4 case. What got me excited about it was that you could just as easily cross-stitch soft circuits on it with conductive thread. With a little extra effort you could barrow a little power and networking from the handset to give your project that extra kick. Or maybe you’ve always wanted a self-portrait done as a miniature latch hook rug. The possibilities are endless with this DIY case for iPhone 4 available from ThinkGeek. [via iPhoneSavior]
