This is a digital clock. You’ll recognise the display style straight away and then that the clock has been built from LEGO. No surprise to know it’s a Mindstorms line. It’s an impressive piece of mechanics. I suspect there will be plenty of times when you might look up to check the time, catch the […]
Blow stuff up with science. This is engineering.
For science, you monster? Oh. Wait. That’s Portal 2. This video showcases some other interesting and dangerous science. In fact, do watch closely for all the way our engineer film stars flee the scene after dropping one reacting agent into an other.
The Tech of Tomorrow
There are a bunch of videos doing the rounds today that certainly worth watching. Two from Microsoft and two from RIM (BlackBerry). They all look at devices we might expect to be able to play with in the near future. There are clearly some trends; lots more speach and touch, lots of holographic projections but […]
Cthulhu Earrings – what do they whisper?
I rather like the look of these Cthulhu geek girl earrings. Okay, I’m not a girl and I suspect these earrings might be on the large and heavy side… but it’s all too easy to imagine what sweet lunacy these earrings might whisper to the geek girl who wears them. I imagine she would be […]
The new Nokia WP7 phones
Today Nokia took the wrappers off their survival plan – the new set of Windows phones. They announced two; the Lumia 710 and the Lumia 800. The Lumia 710 is designed to be an entry level smartphone. We’re talking 1.4Ghz processor, 3.7 inch WVGA screen, 5 megapixel camera and 8GB on internal storage with microSD […]
Which HTC phones will get Dropbox’s free 5GB?
HTC have announced a new deal with Dropbox. HTC’s Android phones will come with a free 5GB of storage. It’s a great idea; a good counter to iCloud. I’ve an HTC Sensation with Dropbox installed. I don’t pay for Dropbox but have done some of their social media competitions in order to boost my storage. […]
Monsters under the x-ray
This is art. Okay; it’s rather freaky art from To See in the Dark and combine what with monsters good enough for any dungeon – and this Geek Native blogger is interested in it. The octo-lady is certainly nothing I’d like my heroic pirate PC to have to deal with. There’s something about her that […]
Mole Day – 6.02 x 10^23
If we using the American dating style of putting the month before the day then today is Mole Day. We kinda have to go with the American dating style too – can’t have the 23 after the 10 otherwise! To be specific at 6.02 is the precise time at which we celebrate Mole Day – […]
Destroy Halloween: the Bubble Head Nurse from Silent Hill
This is cosplay. Our lovely nurse surfaced on the cosplay blog some weeks ago but I thought saving it until the run up to Halloween would be Silent Hill cruel. What are you planning for your Halloween costume? Doesn’t this effort just destroy it?
Science geeks behold: Quantum Levitation
The takeaway for me is that it’s not correct to use the term “floating”. In the video we clearly hear that quantum superconductor is “locked” in position. I imagine they’ve gone with “Quantum levitation” for the video title as a way to describe what the video appears to show. Mind you… they could have also […]
