Liquid Crystal Technology Transforms Real-Time Weather Into Art
I was recently passing through the San Jose International Airport when I noticed a large liquid crystal art installation hanging from the ceiling of the concourse. At first, I checked my eyes, thinking the hundreds of small clear tiles were reflecting the sun. I quickly realized that each of the cle ...
Fairytale Transfusion: The Blood From A Unicorn In A Bag
There's just something about unicorns that makes us smile, right? Go ahead and say the word unicorn. You smiled, didn't you? Well, maybe not, but it works on me. When I think of unicorns, I think of rainbow colored fantasies filled with visions of flying through the sky on the back of a winged white ...
NINJA New York: Smoking Food & Sword-Wielding Ninja Waiters
My father, @CognitiveFlex, visited me this past weekend in New York City, and we unintentionally found ourselves in several surreal situations that felt totally immersive and like back-to-back movie sets. First, we visited the McKittrick Hotel for Sleep No More, Punchdrunk's Macbeth-themed choose yo ...
The Highlights Of Stars Wars Explained In 10 Little Graphics
Believe it or not, there are some people in the world who don't understand how or why we love Star Wars so much. They are people who watch it once and say, "So what's the big deal?" I can't understand that at all, but I can respect that everyone is different. To me, not liking Star Wars is similar t ...
Textspresso: Make Coffee By Texting This Brilliant Machine Mod
Just yesterday, Richard wrote in one of his articles that "modders might be some of the most creative technology geeks out there." I agree with that statement, and what I'm about to show you is yet another perfect example. The gadget you see below is called a Textspresso machine. It is about 300 par ...
8-Bit Pale Ale: The Beer Created For Retro Video Game Lovers
There's no question that different alcoholic drinks are more popular than others at different social events. For example, at a wedding it might be appropriate to drink a glass of white wine, at a cookout in the summertime it might be more appropriate to drink a Bud Light, and at a birthday party it ...
Floppy Disk Coasters: Wooden Retrofication
I sometimes remember when I was a little younger and each school break was a coding adventure. My friend and I used to come up with different ideas for software that we thought we could create and maybe make some money off of. Back then, you didn't have too many choices when it came to the programmi ...
The Lives Of Hipster Superheroes
I have to admit that I don't fully understand the concept behind being a hipster. Sure, I do understand what it is all about, but the origin of it is somewhat foggy to me. So you want to stand out, and you try and create a new fashion with statements that aren't really common to ordinary people's ey ...
The Little Lego Man That Was Sent Into Space
When I was in school, a science experiment consisted of putting some vinegar and baking soda into a plastic pop bottle. I think I got gypped. Just look at what two Canadian teenagers, Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad did in their spare time. The young duo is making news for taking pictures of a Lego Man ...
Find Your Photo’s Source With TinEye
Admittedly, this isn't the sort of thing I'd usually blog about... but hey, it's information everybody can use - particularly bloggers. See, there's this little search engine known as TinEye. It's like...Google, but for images, sort of. There's a bit more to it than that.
I'm not explaining this ...

Top Tech Trends Of 2011: Last Year At A Glance [Infographic]
In 2011, we saw a lot of new trends emerge that implied social media was taking yet another step towards ruling not only the Internet, but also our lives to some extent. Groupon saw a huge increase in users, but fell quite hard when they went public on the stock market. It was the hype of the moment ...
A Focus On StumbleUpon: The Rise Of A Social Media Giant
Since my technology company in Atlanta is part of the Apple Consultants Network, I am invited to attend the webinar trainings that Apple puts together. They are always outstanding, and there is a lot to learn each time. Yesterday I attended a social media webinar in which there was a Q&A at the ...

Apple’s ‘Let’s Talk iPhone’ Keynote: Some Mind Blowing Stats
I'm watching the Apple event online right now, like almost everyone I know. I have to admit, it was a little strange to see it in such a small place (they held it in the Apple home theater), and it was even more strange to see Tim Cook walk out on that stage instead of Steve Jobs. He didn't look the ...

The Real Tron Light Cycle In Action [Video]
Just when you thought the Tron hype had completely died down, there are things brewing in one particular part of the world. The movie, for some, was a disappointment since it was expected to reach far greater heights on the box office chart. It did decent, no doubt about it, but the hype versus the ...
