What’s to say about this Companion Cube cookie jar? Perhaps in a former life it was a Companion Cube that managed to escape GLaDOS’s clutches and now follows a delightful career in your kitchen. Perhaps it’s just a cookie jar that looks like a Companion Cube? A mystery. The Companion Cube is 7x7x7, fine ceramic […]

Really real? A Star Trek Phaser
Boing Boing is reporting that somechap has managed to build himself a Star Trek phaser. The video is below and it’s a little odd. The title seems third party and it appears on this YouTube channel. On the other hand, the claims of the phaser aren’t very high – he’s had to fill the garage […]
Festo’s flying and morphing shape – new robots ahoy
I was impressed by the Festo team at The Gadget Show Live this year. I even managed to capture (some) video footage of their robot bird as it flew gracefully around the stage. A new video from the company shows off their “SmartInversion”. This is a flying geometrical band, filled with hellium, that moves through […]
The wine tentacle

Hot Wheels RC kicks stake park
This video of a Hot Wheels remote controlled car zipping around a stake park in Venice Beach is pretty cool. The car is a Ken Block Fiesta RC and it can clearly turn on a dime. I imagine this is only possible because of the incredible power to weight ratio it has. However, it’s a […]
