The Sprinkles 7D by PJ Linden Looks as Good as the Photos it Takes

This colorful, fun, custom-designed Canon camera created by PJ Linden is just one of the fabulous creations you’ll see on the artist’s website ‘Wonderpuss Octopus Ink.’ Using 3D paint, Linden was able to make this one-of-kind Sprinkles 7D camera that looks like it would be the perfect SLR for Rainbow Brite or Strawberry Shortcake.

Not only can the Willy Wonka-inspired machine take excellent high resolution photos, but its camera body serves as a work of art as well, featuring bold, vibrant-colored candy dots, chocolate sauce and sprinkles running partway down the barrel of the lens and a rainbow of pebble-like textures covering the remainder of it. So if you are looking for a camera that looks sweet even when not in use, then the Sprinkles 7D by PJ Linden will appeal to your tastes.

If you have ever suffered from Carpal Tunnel then the Airmouse from Denmark Ltd. will be a godsend for you. This mouse is specifically designed to prevent the injuries that come with pointing and clicking all day long.

Look below to find out more about this awesome mouse.

According to the company website, the clinically-tested product works by aligning itself with the ligaments of your hand and wrist. This lets you keep your hand in a neutral position, and transmits more of your vector force than would be possible with a regular mouse. Not only does this make it easier on your hand, but it increases your mousing speed and accuracy as well. The mouse is also designed to remain inactive until your hand is placed in a neutral, flat position. (gizmag)

LED Tattoos

Silk Silicon Chip Implants Turn Your Arm Into a TV

There is a new tattoo coming soon to a body part near you. LED Tattoos, are being developed by Researchers from MIT, the University of Pennsylvania and Illinois. Unlike traditional inked tattoos, the LED tattoos main purpose won’t be to make a fashion statement.

The initial planned uses are for medical purposes, like displaying blood-sugar readings on skin. This is made possible by embedding an electronic silicon transistor under the skin. The main research focus is on epilepsy, but also encompasses “implantable neurodevices, functional neurosurgery, network and computational neuroscience, movement disorders, intra-operative and ICU monitoring, major mental illness, and other brain network disorders.”

I’m all for medical advances, but when I read articles where the brain is impacted, I get a little creeped out.

Animated and programmable LED tattoos connected to your brain? You could show off your latest Flash animations, watch TV on your arm, or have a built-in PDA screen. The possibilities are endless. (hplusmagazine)

The Sony X Series Notebooks Holds the Title of World’s Skinniest

In the world of laptops, skinny is in (maybe Karl Lagerfeld had something to do with this direction); laptops continue to ‘lose weight’ and the Sony X Series notebooks, which were revealed in Singapore last week, are currently the skinniest on the market.

According to The Luxury Insider, the Sony X Series laptop measures 13.9 mm, which is slightly thicker than the iPhone and slimmer than the MacBook Air and HP Envy 13 by about one-third. Not only is it slim, the Sony X Series PC also boasts the aesthetic appeal of which the brand is known for: excellet durability (the laptop can withstand prolonged pressure-vibration) and excellent processing capabilities like a 2GHz Intel Atom Processor Z550, solid state drive, and the new Windows 7 Operating System.

The Viper SmartStart Lets You Go Keyless for $500

The iPhone is steadily becoming like a universal remote, what with applications like this Viper SmartStart system that allows users to unlock and start their cars sans keys.

For $500, which is the price of the Viper SmartStart receiver (the actuall app is free on iTunes), the system will unlock, start, set the alarm, and unlock the trunk of your car. It will also allow you to find a misplaced vehicle via a ‘panic’ button. Basically, it’s like any old remote car starter, except it will be part of your iPhone. You have the option, however, to manage more than one car with it as well as assign more than one user to the car.

Landline Endangerment

2009-05-17T21:35:00.001-07:00

People Ditch Landlines for Mobiles and Alternatives

I dropped my landline’s long-distance calling plan years ago, opting instead to use a cheaper alternative… my mobile phone. I have often wondered why I have the landline at all. Apparently, I’m not alone. For the first time, mobile phone-only households have surpassed landline-only ones. The current recession has been credited with this trend as people look to cut costs out of their budget.

There are ways, however, to keep your home phone without paying a high monthly fee - most of which use the still-unfamiliar technology of VoIP (or calls using the internet).

Skype - This free software lets you call anyone, anywhere, for free… as long as they are also members of Skype. For only $2.95/month, U.S. callers can call ANYONE within the U.S., regardless of whether they are members, including cellphones. You can either use your computer’s built-in microphone and speakers or buy optional headsets or compatible phones. Remember that you have to have an internet connection or at least access to the internet. But with wi-fi networks popping up everywhere, this isn’t a big deal.

MagicJack - This service is a bit different. Although it still works over the internet, you have to have your own connection because you physically plug a USB device into your computer, connecting your existing landline phone. For a onetime fee of $39.95, you get one year of free local and long distance calling to the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.

The downside with both services is that emergency calls using 911 may not be available depending on service areas, failing internet connections, or downed electric service.

Project ‘On The Bri(n)ck,’ a co-op between computer-aided design and computer-aided construction departments at Harvard University, employed the use of a robot to build a wave-like double-wall structure from wooden bricks.

Professor Ingeborg M. Rocker and Graduate School of Design students at Harvard University programmed the crafty robot arm to place 4,100 wooden bricks together to create the complex double-curvature walls.

The project, which was originally created to highlight material and technical limits, may also be used as a model for digital design and education.

Overall the project hopes to highlight the potential of digital fabrication techniques and the role these have in the education of architects. (dezeen)

Digital Human Replicas

CG Models Are Eerily Life Like Robots

The person in this video looks real, but she isn’t. This image is a digital replica of actress Emily O’Brien, created by Image Metrics and Paul Debevec at the University of Southern California’s Institute for Creative Technologies (ICT) - and it’s awesome.

The hardcore techy bit is that they used this to demonstrate the high-definition animated face at a recent conference.

I am not technologically minded, and can’t pretend I am, so I’ll let the press release explain.

Emilyimagemetttt ICT employed its high-resolution face scanning process to capture O’Brien in 35 facial poses directed by Image Metrics. This newest process from the ICT Graphics Lab places the actor inside a sphere of LED lights, illuminating the talent with a set of polarized spherical gradient illumination patterns while a pair of high-resolution digital cameras takes around 15 photographs in under three seconds.

These patterns allow the shine of the skin to be photographed independently from the main skin tone so that precise colors and characteristics can be calculated at hundreds of measurements per square millimeter. The resulting CG models provide unprecedented detail of natural facial expressions - down to skin pores and fine wrinkles - with perfectly aligned shading information that allows photo-real faces to be rendered under any illumination and viewpoint with standard rendering packages.

Kim Reyes [sexykim18]

Kim was born in Bulacan, to Half Spanish Half Filipino parents and was raised in Malolos City by her mother after her father was abroad; Kim has said that her mother "suffered so much to make my life OK" during her early years. Her father was a car salesman and her mother, also named Kim, is now an elementary school principal. She is the youngest of four children (she has two sisters and a brother). She was raised Roman Catholic and aspired to be a nun. As a child, Kim was teased about her "buck teeth".

As a child she lived in Malolos, Bulacan. She never saw herself as an actress/model while she was young and decided to pursue other interests. She attended Marcelo High School in Sta. Isabel and later attended Bulacan State University, to study marketing, but dropped out after meeting boyfriend John Michael Kane, who helped her to begin an acting career. She studied with KC.

One day she caught the eye of an agent who convinced her to pursue acting more steadily. Kim worked her way up through commercials to music videos (including an appearance in MTV video "Miami" and the Pet Shop Boys music video for "Se a vida é (That’s the way life is)" in 1996 and the video "Hole in My Soul" in 1997) to guest roles in soap operas and supporting film roles.

Along with acting, Kim is employed by Revlon Cosmetics as an international spokeswoman. She joins such elite actresses and models who appear in Revlon's television and print ads. She is also a passionate supporter and active participant in Revlon's fight against breast cancer.

Multifunctional Lighting

2009-02-19T01:00:00.001-08:00

Sprinkler systems are probably at the very bottom of the attention-grabbing items for design, and thus obviously the most in need of makeovers. The odd mechanisms that spoil our lovely ceilings are indeed vital safety devices; they simply need a little bit of help to blend in the picture. This was probably the thought of Duck Image Studio which fused care and creativity into the innovative Aurora design.

The dual-purpose concept combines a sprinkler system and LED lighting fixtures in a single stylish unit. Functional and eco-friendly, the polished design gets rid of excess fittings and presents a very attractive reason to equip every ceiling with its emergency art pieces.

The light beam, which also comes from the nozzles, illuminates the scene making work easier for rescuers. Water flows through the turbine, powers the blades, and generates electricity powering the LED. Its light illuminates the room like an emergency lighting system and helps people find the exit.

Intelligent Portable Speakers

2009-02-19T00:34:00.001-08:00

Earphones are fairly convenient, but what about sharing your favorite music, and what about a bit of freedom from loose wiring when circumstances call for swift mobility? Designer Adam Silverstein responds to these concerns with “Air Phones,” a set of adjustable speakers that employ wireless technology with a twist.

Featuring a minute wireless transmitter that plugs in your mp3 player or mobile, the intelligent concept can detect your proximity to its speakers, sharply activating the closest one to your location. It employs a modular system for mounting the speakers anywhere inside or outside your home, or even on your personal gear such as your backpack. And if you are still not convinced, the bright design boosts your listening experience even further with its luminous LEDs built in its speakers.

It is probably the most entertaining stalker ever.

And unlike headphones this interactive, listening experience can be shared with those around you. Hook your mp3 player onto the cradle to boost the wireless signal, and activate all the speakers at once. (instablogs)
