Something incredible happened over at the Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin on New Year’s Eve. According to news reports, the hacker meet united those in attendance to embark on an ambitious program. In fact, outside of government and multinational efforts, no one has quite dreamed up a plan as fantastic as theirs. In short, they [...]

Seen below is the BASH, which is akin to a space age sledgehammer. Sledgehammers are some of the coolest tools in a construction site, but the BASH is in a league of its own. Oh, and if you haven’t made the connection yet, that’s BASH as in Bad Ass Sledge Hammer. Funny name, but it [...]

Artist Tyree Callahan has taken a 1937 Underwood Standard typewriter and transformed it into something a little special called the Chromatic Typewriter. That allows you to type a painting on to paper, using colours rather than the traditional letter associated with a typewriter. The Chromatic Typewriter  is a 2012 West Prize Entry.

If you haven’t figured out what it does, the StarScreen is a prop for your teleconferencing and Skype sessions–a ‘vivid’ background to lend an utterly false sense [...]

Warning: They will blow your mind. If you think Syd Mead is the most badass concept artist to ever consult for Hollywood productions, get a load of Ridley Scott’s own contributions (plus a few others). Mr. Scott of Alien and Gladiator fame is legend for his detailed storyboarding. In fact, he’s right up there with [...]

A lot of crazy stuff goes down at venerable Johns Hopkins University. Since this is the verge of a new year, however, a project initiated by two professors could not have come sooner. Richard Conn Henry, an astrophysicist, has been in cahoots with his economist colleague Steve Hanke to bring forth the calendar to end [...]

A long time ago when stealth technology was pretty much a hush-hush affair, the geniuses at McDonnel-Douglas labored over the A12 Avenger. Never heard of it? That’s cool, because it never entered service. In what is now a familiar routine in the sprawling American military-industrial complex, a tangle of lobbying, overruns, and delays nailed the [...]

The Japanese are still at it, people. (Okay so they’re always at it.) More than 50 years since Ozamu Tezuka conceived of Astro Boy, Japanese scientists continue to obsess over that most illusive goal–a robot. But this time, they’re building a giant one. Fine, it’s not a Gundam, but what else can you call a [...]
