Boston is going crazy over our cool LED man. Well I meant “our” as in the technology community.

They’ve “identified” it as a bomb threat and started blowing up these as they find them.

Check out this hilarious video, here.

More cool funny stuff.

Check out the full story.

What do we think of this? Everyone here at Zedomax was laughing all the way through the video,
we first thought it was just fake… :p

This is an outrage, they should hire some smarter people at least. Just because it’s hanging in
random places doesn’t mean it’s a threat! I know it’s post 911 era, but this is just going way too
far. They just have to hire couple geeky guys like us in their bomb squad (and pay us at least six
figures for being geeky) and they would have known it’s just an LED. My condolences go out to
Peter Berdvosky, who is an innocent art student. It’s a good thing the LEDs are just LEDs, if they
were people, oh man, that would really blow the world.

Man, thinking of tax time and how much of my hard earned dollars that are withheld by the
government, this is total BS… Anyone feeling the same way, link to this article and Make article
and let’s start a revolution against stupid bomb squad! (again, this is so stupid, they REALLY
need some smarter people in the government…)

Really, there should be a news TV about how stupid these people are wasting our tax money,
instead these TV people are taking it so serious! (It’s a great thing I don’t watch TV and
don’t really care about how everyone else in the world thinks and the media.)

Leave your positive and negative thoughts!

P.S. If that’s the bomb squad, I better move to another country becaz that ain’t protection,
that’s plain stupidity.

Work was as crazy as usual, didn’t really have time to sneak some posts but now with some Hennesy and some fish, we are ready to go again.

Check out this watch I got for my birthday, it’s kinda cool. It has an embedded digital compass like our digital compass DIY except it’s much smaller and you don’t have to build it yourself. My girlfriend wanted to buy me a nice classic watch but I told her that I had to have something digital as that was just me…

I find this useful since I find GPS navigation to be too technological for me. I rather rely on my feel. (Which does get me lost sometimes but this adds to my feel!)

Yes, I think GPS navigation takes some fun out of driving these days… (Well, yes, I can’t really afford one or want to buy one…hehe)

The barometer function is very useful as the watch shows last 12 hours of atmospheric pressure. If the slope goes up, that means the weather will be good. If the slope goes down, that means the weather will be bad. I tried it and it actually is pretty accurate.

The altitude function will be great for my golf game for gauging the depth since the golf course next to my apartment has many ups and downs… (Lincoln Park is da bomb, cheap too!)  Talking about Lincoln Park, there’s a band that’s called it too!  (they have some good music that I like…)

I’ve always wondered how the tatoo machines work, here’s a cool video about it

…most common method of tattooing in modern times is the electric tattoo machine, which inserts ink into the skin via a group of needles that are soldered onto a bar, which is attached to an oscillating unit. The unit rapidly and repeatedly drives the needles in and out of the skin, usually 80 to 150 times a second

Tight, now doctors can give patients a recording of their heartbeating sounds saved to an ipod!

Capturing heart and lung sounds is the most critical aspect of stethoscope design. Acquire the sound accurately, and anything is possible. The patented Electromagnetic Diaphragm (EmD) is unique to a Thinklabs stethoscope, and is the key to audio quality.

Having captured an accurate signal, electronic signal transmission right to the eartips ensures crisp clear sound. A simple experiment with your conventional stethoscope shows you why you need End-to-End Electronics - unique to Thinklabs design.

The leap from no-technology to high-technology has to be achieved while making the device easier to use, and to make patient examination a more productive and more rewarding experience.

With all the RGB projects we’ve done and we’ve seen around these days, it was cool to see an RGB
light in real world setting such as at a fusion restaurant in San Francisco. Anyways, I was way
too curious what lay underneath the color changing walls and had to take some pictures before
they stopped me. hehe….

These RGB lights for walls can be made from simple parts or can be bought if you need it for
your restaurant, bar, club, or other type of businesses.
