Carpe Fulgur translates to something along the lines of "Seize the Lightning" in Latin. Sometimes that is enacted with golf clubs by idiots. But the three intrepid indie video game localizers who work under that name are trying to do it the right way: metaphorically. They are translating and publishing Japanese games for the Americans market—games that have seldom been seen before because every other company thinks it's mad to release them here.
This website is one of my personal favorites. You can easily shop and compare electricity rates for different companies. I love their display and how organized their searches are! I hope you find it resourceful.
Advancements in technology usually lead to the miniaturization of old technologies, and video games are no exception. Since at least 1990, game hardware manufacturers and enterprising DIY electronics enthusiasts have poured their efforts into making full-size video game consoles smaller, even handheld. And for good reason—who would have ever played a black and white Game Boy if they could have had an actual NES in their pocket?

The Environmental Working Group has put together a database of most sunscreens. Find a sunscreen that not only protects your skin, but also does not have chemicals that harm the rest of your body (you'd be surprised what some companies put in their sunscreen!). Check it out!
Your Balloon Man also creates one of a kind logos for companies wishing to have a little something extra at their event or location. This particular balloon sculpture is a blue lizard for the Blue Lizard Hookah Lounge in Tampa, Florida. Everything from the nose to tail was designed specifically around their logo.
A group of R/C helicopter enthusiasts (of the superbly named entertainment production company Dude Licking a Pole Production) outfit a mini 'copter with little missiles, and send it out to hunt balloons in the cold Swedish wild. Motivation: mystifying. Outcome: wonderful. It's like James Bond meets an arcade game. And it's got everything we love: R/C , fireworks, and great video game style motion graphics.
HBO's hit period drama, Boardwalk Empire, is chock full of elaborate effects, created by VFX company Brainstorm Digital. Below, get a behind-the-scenes survey of the before and after breakdowns of scenes from the first season.
Holister and Abercrombie & Fitch Use Sweatshops! So you thought you knew Hollister and Abercromie and Fitch? Wrong! The next time you decide to buy clothing from these companies, check out this link. Look at the price tag of their shirts and compare it to what the manufacturers were paid. Big difference huh?
This video I made isn't really how to, but more inspiration to get off your ass and find jobs that travel.
There is no need for sweatshops! They exist because the greedy people on top cannot get enough of profit. Here are some stores in Los Angeles where you can shop without feeling guilty. Shop with a conscience. Boycott sweatshop companies. Join the movement!

As an affirmation of gay black pride, the impressive Marlon Riggs and company demonstrate how to snap with attitude, excerpted from the 1991 PBS special Tongues Untied. With the exception of this clip, the program is quite serious in nature, addressing issues of racism and homophobia. Previously, Booty Dance.
The Eizo medical supply company has issued a 2010 calendar of X-ray pin-ups. First prize to the person who can bring these skeletons to life. We know it's possible to transform a person into an X-ray in Photoshop, but how about the reverse?
Miramax was started a few decades ago as an independent film studio, however today, Miramax is a huge company. The great thing about this studio is that they always choose a beautifully crafted script to make their movies. I love to watch these films while reading the scripts on my laptop. You should definitely watch these films, and look for story structure and plot points that bring the story together
Zuck Farmville? Rather than end its strained relationship with Facebook, social-gaming outfit Zynga has opted to formalize it. This morning, the company, which had been rumored to be reconsidering its dependence on the popular social network, said it has entered into a five-year strategic relationship with it instead.
GE was one of the first large companies to make a cool AR application. The AR was done using FLARToolKit & PV3D, by Goodby, Silverstein & Partners and North Kingdom.
Most of the stuff on HBO definitely succeeds in supporting their company motto "Not TV". True Blood is no exception. Thus, I will include it here as a pseudo movie poster.
London based company CrystalRoc was commissioned by Microsoft Australia to fully Swarovski crystal-ize an XBOX console for a PR campaign. The console took more than 11,520 individual Swarovski crystals and over 70 hours to produce. That sure makes one expensive console...

Expensive hotels are frequented by business travelers who charge everything to their companies, and therefore don't care about the cost of incidentals.
I've seen some pretty ugly steampunked guitars in my day, but this isn't one of them. This one's about as beautiful as they get. French company Wild Customs made this Gibson LesPaul into a steampunk masterpiece.
Organic Armor is a company run by Paul Hersey which makes... organic armor. Their Facebook page is a really awesome place to get some steampunk inspiration. Check out some of their work:
Yo this is my crew we video tape the widest things on the street the name of my company is - Killionaire (DBA) !We Go Hard! Killionaire Hemp2Dro Faded Adventures - YouTube.
The LED pollution dress: the ultimate tech + fashion + eco-friendly accessory. Danish design company Diffus recently introduced the Climate Dress, a garment with hundreds of LEDs that light up when air pollution is detected.
Production Company Action Figure shot footage of their entire team being punched in the face. Shot with an ultra high speed, hi-def camera (called the Phantom), everybody's face face fat is pretty gruesome looking at 1000 FPS. Amazing camera = amazing footage!
The web's favorite robotics company, MIT's Boston Dynamics, never fails to instill truly animal-like qualities into its famed creations. We giggled (slightly guiltily) when poor Big Dog took a tumble on the ice. Now as we watch Little Dog climb, cautious as a puppy, and subsequently drop, exhausted, at the end of each run, we can't help but anthropomorphize Big Dog's counterpart. Previously, Robot Dog Prepares for World Domination.
The purpose of this stunt is to make a random fight between fast food characters and to see reactions between the managers as well as people.
The trend of online video sharing came to the mainstream with popularization of YouTube, which let users view, submit and share video clips. YouTube started off in the year 2005, and quickly became one of the most visited websites on the internet. Sensing the emerging trend, large companies like Google joined the trail and launched their own video sharing sites (Google later bought YouTube).

And if you want your website to have a high Google rank then SEO is essential.
For more than a decade, Interplay was arguably the best video game publisher in America. Their list of games is a who's-who of the most creative and forward thinking games of the '90s, including everything fromOut of This World to Alone in the Dark to Earthworm Jim to Descent. They've been around since 1983, but have fallen on hard times since 1997, when they became a public company. They were acquired by a French publisher who then went bankrupt. They were forced to close their internal deve...
Crysis 2 is the current standard for high-quality graphics in video games. No other game looks so smooth, so colorful, so... ultra-real. German developer Crytek has built their reputation on PC game technology to the limit, and the CryENGINE 3 graphics engine they used to make Crysis 2 might be the most powerful tool for creating 3D video game graphics on Earth. As of yesterday, it's also free for anyone, yourself included, to download from Crytek's website here.
Yay, you can now own the iconic Hermès bag for next to nothing! There's one catch—it's made of paper. Hermès is currently offering several free downloadable templates for the "Kelly Paper Bag" on the company's Facebook page. Not exactly usable in the traditional sense, but it still comes directly from the official Hermès design studio, and who doesn't love papercraft?
Minecraft might still be in development, but that doesn't mean a creative guy like Notch doesn't have time for other projects. A few months ago he and his company Mojang announced their second game, a digital collectible trading card affair called Scrolls. A simple title (perhaps too generic if anything), but it's not the name of an extant game, and it's appropriate given the visual style and card-based gameplay of the game itself.
