Here’s a bulky old CRT monitor used as a touch-screen without any alterations. It doesn’t use an overlay, but instead detects position using phototransistors in the fingertips of a glove.
Backtrack 5 R2 was recently released and added over 40 new tools and updates to their old tools. Along with a new Linux 3.2.6 Kernel and better networking support.
A shocking video has appeared on the Internet showing Libyan rebels torturing a group of black Africans. People with their hands bound are shown being locked in a zoo-like cage and allegedly forced to eat the old Libyan flag.

There's an old joke about these furry fellows: Panda eats, shoots and leaves.
An old blog that I hope to reincarnate in the near future...What do you think so far? (excuse the self promotion)
This creepy-as-hell vintage jam ad is a WTF as it comes. It's not uncommon to find old ads that are somewhat off kilter. Think you can find a legit ad that's more unsettling than this one? I challenge thee!

Taken with Samsung Epic 4G Touch (Galaxy S II) used Little Photo to "Double Expose". I used to do this for real with an old camera on Black & White Film this is so much easier :-)
Theo Jansen is really cool. If you dig around in the corkboard here, you can find another video about him. He makes amazing kinetic sculptures from PVC pipe, and has a wonderful artistic point of view. I just discovered this old TEDTalks podcast via Taylor Browning's site. Fantastic stuff, check it out:
An old wooden horse head keychain fell to its demise in my candle. Took the opportunity to finally use the Camera+ app on my iPhone 4. I haven't really used it until today, so I guess I'm just playing around at this point... experimenting.
A multiboot cd created from SARDU which can be used to boot linux. It can even be used to install Windows. Force your old pc to boot on a usb using PLOP or clone a hd. Plus a lot more!
I took this photo of a dried hydrangia with a blooming cherry tree several yards behind it. The light was just right for the pink of the cherry blooms, a touch of green from the new leaves and the blue of the sky to give a nice Bokeh effect backing for the brown of the dried hydrangia bloom! Photo taken with a Nikon D-60.
I'm sure many of you have already seen this, but being Halloween and mathematically inspired, I thought I'd dig up an old favorite for those who may have missed it. Original post with quote from Cyriak here. More fractal hands: Tim Hawkinson's "Fruit" Series
Last weekend the 2011 World Scrabble Championship was held at the Hilton Hotel in Warsaw, Poland. There were 106 players competing from 44 countries for the $20,000 first place prize and title of World Scrabble Champion.
I took this photo in Iceland at Snæfellsjökull, a 700,000 year old stratovolcano with a glacier covering its summit. The famous spot provides the setting for Jules Vernes' fictional A Journey to the Center of the Earth, in which the characters find a passage leading to the center of the earth. Standing up there was truly surreal—the strong winds whipped the snow, clouds and land all together into one incredible landscape.
Four years ago Mind Candy was a pretty small game company. They were best known for their revolutionary but short lived ARG Perplex City, and had no other successful franchises to fall back on when that ended. Their plan to save it? Start a free online social game for children ages 7-12 called Moshi Monsters, where kids can create monster pets, raise them, and socialize with one another in a controlled, safe environment.
This is my little girl 4yrs old. And one crazy day off with dad today!!! I think it would have been better with just her in the photo, but she insisted that I be in the photo (after 3 shots) this is the result!! I am lucky to have some cool kids. #giveawaytuesdays
Ok, serious question here: is +Zach Katz even old enough to be on Google+? This rap tells you all you need to know about Google+, and also tells us that...well, not a lot of people actually know what Google+ is.
From Myth to Halo: Reach
Got an achy back that won't go away? Not all of us have the money to splurge on a massage therapist, but there are several DIY techniques that may help alleviate your back pain and muscle discomfort without completely breaking the bank. Thank goodness for those spare socks with missing pairs and old tennis balls.
Flying out of Bellingham, WA this past Sunday morning in a twin prop airplane. It was still dark down below but after rising above the clouds we were high enough to see the sun rise. Taken with the plain old iPhone 4 camera app... no affects applied.
Visual master Baz Luhrmann has dazzled us with his flamboyant style. Now a 17 year old editor from the Netherlands has cut together a beautiful montage of his work.
What is the Strongest Beer in the World?? Long live the Queen and move over Sean Connery because the Scottish have done it! The strongest beer in the world belongs to a company called Brewdog out of Fraserburgh. The beer is called Tactical Nuclear Penguin and has an alcohol content of over 32% -WOW! That is more than many hard alcohols and its creator warns it should be drunk in "...spirit sized measures." This means no 12oz. bottle for this mother of all beers. Instead try a 2oz. shot glass!
Death is tough for the living, and those who mourn do all sorts of odd things to cope with it. Some keep mementos, some build towering statues, others create memorial paintings or write sad songs, all of which are healthy in moderation. Honoring the dead has been around for so long, it's part of what makes us human. Recently, the practice of memorializing the dead has spread from the arts, religion, and ceremonial burial to video games.
I am more excited for this indie gem from Supergiant games than I am for any other 2011 release. The gameplay, visual style, music, and unique narration all look focused and stimulating.
Following in the footsteps of great historical figures is a great way to learn about them. Michael Wood famously did so in the 1980's for his PBS documentary and book In The Footsteps of Alexander The Great. This March, UK-based marketing director Chris Worth completed a similar endeavor—not by tracing the path of a real-life emperor or explorer, but a humble video game character. One known simply as "The Courier".
Scream 4, a call-back sequel to the 10+ yr. old Scream franchise is not too bad, according to Matt Brown. But if you ain't gonna go see it, he's got something for you to watch instead...
My GF showed this off to me. Found it in old plastic containers which we are keeping for no reason. And so she put some fish sauce in it (patis). Nice look, great for serving patis.

This is a trailer for an award winning swedish short, Las Palmas. If you can imagine being at a tropical bar and there is a lush in the corner having way too much to drink, but that rude obnoxious drunk is a 2 year old girl, this is the short for you.
