Color 3D Prints
With the help of some friends at CADD Edge we were able to get a color 3D print of our favorite World of Warcraft gnome. All we had to do was export our cleaned up and textured models as VRML files, which they fed right into their ZCorp printer. If you are interested in doing the same with your video game avatars, I suggest contacting Anvil Prototypes. They are interested in helping people who want to pay to have their characters printed (see their sweet flyer), and took this funny photo of a color-printed gnome in the woods: (is it just me, or are the monochrome prints from Eyebeam's Dimension so much less fulfilling now?).........

The ball looks at three aspects of your life vis your health, wealth and love life, and the intricately etched crystal ball will glow different colours to let you know what to expect in each area of your life. It takes about 15 seconds for the internal computer to correlate all the data and it will then project the relevant colour onto the etched globe within the crystal ball. The ball is nestled in a chrome base with LCD, so, will make a nice show- piece too with its modern appeal. It sells for $112.68. I want one!!!........

How does this violate the DMCA? Well, according to the act, any attempts to work around an encryption scheme is prohibited. Every DVD comes encrypted. Ergo, Circuit City's breaking the law for customers, thousands of times per day. Note the caveat: "Transfer must be from an original copy of your DVD collection." We'll swat aside the of/from confusion to point out how gleefully imprecise a criterion that is. Time to load up your trunk with a buddy's DVD collection and head on down to Circuit City. "Just what I needed!"......... Posted by: Ryan Permalink Source Eye-tracker Quake controls!
Hmm. The problem with this guy is he assumes everyone's seen eye-trackers before and that we won't think he's just controlling the game from under the table. Where's his other hand? Ahahh! OK: I jest. I am prepared to think that eye-trackers exist, and I suppose now that this sort of computer voodoo will probably be mainstream by, like, tomorrow, and that I've just not been keeping up with the latest in awesome hardware developments. Sigh. Question though: how the hell do you aim?........ Posted by: Ryan Permalink Source The Playswiss
Via, The Playswiss by Pierre-Yves Dubois, a curious device for the Playstation, merging a stool and a Playstation pad. It's meant to engage the user into new sensation. Cool!........ Posted by: Ryan Permalink Source New Shuffle-lookalike UP3
LG UP3 Flat is a screen-less MP3 player but just LED indicators. It does playback MP3, WMA (DRM supported), OGG, and ASF audio. Its built-in battery allows up to 10 hours of playback continously. The dimension of UP3 Flat is 78 x 24 x 9.5mm. Conversely, UP3 Sharp comes with a OLED display. Most of the features are same as Up3 Flat, except the UP3 Sharp has only 8 hours of battery life and a dimension of 85 x 25 x 10mm. Althought it is said to be used patented fingerprint-resistant material as its case, it seems doesn't work at all. Both models are available 512MB and 1GB. They are expected to be released in the end of this July......... Posted by: Ryan Permalink Source Actions ATJ2098 and Delux iShow
Meanwhile, Delux Technology is going to release a new iShow which is based on this new chip. Its features are most likely with other ATJ2097-based players, but with an 1.8? 260K colors TFT LCD. It does play video at resolution of 160 x 128. Stay tuned. We will keep you updated on this new solution......... Posted by: Ryan Permalink Source Sager NP6630 Review
This is a great-looking machine. When shopping, I showed my wife (who has a much better aesthetic sense than I do) images of the three models I was considering. When she saw the NP6630, she immediately said, "Get that one." I'm glad I listened to her. The notebook is slim and tapered. It's quite light for its size, and I find it easy to carry. It also feels solidly built. I have to apply serious pressure to the lid to see ripples in the screen. The hinges are tight; I cannot open it with one hand, but need to hold the base down with one hand and push up on the lid with the other. Conclusion In his Sager Notebook Models Guide, NBR Lead Moderator Chaz remarked that the NP6630 is designed for "the consumer seeking something better than what the mainstream has to offer." I couldn't agree more. Eventhough I could have purchased a lower quality computer for less money, I chose this notebook because my time is too valuable to spend on hold waiting for a customer support rep. For me, the extra cost was worth the confidence that comes with owning a well-built machine that will last for years......... Posted by: Ryan Permalink Source Etsy is where we go
Digging through such a large amount of handcrafted goods can be a hassle since no two crafters like to make sock monkeys the same way (1, 2). The digging is simplified by a couple of advanced search tools that can show items based on time criteria, geography, or featuring a dominant color. Their Color Shopper is one of the best I've seen, and greatly simplifies the hassles involved with trying to tie together the four walls of a room. Take their flash powered search tools for a spin; they're just as fun as they are informative. I know that Apartment Therapy covers Etsy occasionally, and the ReadyMade mag did a writeup on them a few issues ago......... Posted by: Ryan Permalink Source Bathroom Chess
