New, Retro-looking Fuji Camera
Friday, September 24th, 2010Fujifilm announced at Photokina the FinePix X100, a large-sensor camera with retro styling and controls. Lots of enthusiasts have been asking for something like this: high image quality combined with more traditional styling and controls (in particular, an optical viewfinder).
Supposedly out in early 2011. Find out more at dpreview.

Monday, April 5th, 2010You can actually print your own 3D objects now, with Makerbot CupCake CNC. The kits are under $1000 and there are so many shapes that you can choose from. It’s crazy that you can actually start printing out your own plastic toys now!
Here’s a sample of what’s possible, a 3D Gothic cathedral printed from a 3D model:

Google Golf!
Monday, April 5th, 2010I got a sneak preview into what’s going on at the Google offices! It looks like it’s Golf, in-doors! Awesome use of the 20% time!
Billions spent in research to create miniature geek toys!
Thursday, April 1st, 2010Not that there’s anything wrong with that! Found some cool photos on BuzzFeed (via ToplessRobot) about the smallest USS Enterprise ever created – 1:1000000000 in scale. Digging deeper, it looks like it was part of a Nanofabrication Micrograph contest that was looking for the coolest things you could build at a nano scale. My favorite is the dancing women… for some reason it reminds me of the song ‘Simply Irresistible’ by Robert Palmer.
Here are some of the cool entries:
Nano Trek
Attack of the Clones
Dancing Girls (my favorite)
iPhone light saber duel
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010Looks like a light saber duel game is coming to the iPhone based on the Lightsaber Unleashed app which had the swooshing and the typical Lightsaber humming sound. I think this is pretty much a bite off the iSamurai game, but I think it’ll be interesting to see the 11 character that you have to fight. It’ll also have a ‘Force Lightning’ feature for those of you baddies who choose the Dark Side.

Getting to work is now easier….

For those of you who are interested, here’s the article I read on the subject. Please don’t clone me.
