Wind-up Cranking Remote Control!

With the wind-up cranking remote control, couch potatoes will now be able to get some real motivation for working out those fingers.  Better yet, get a Wii Fit.

Our Wind Up Remote Control not only lets you survey and control your multimedia empire from the sofa armed with just one for all remote controls, this handy device is a completely battery free remote control so there are no batteries to replace, ever!

Flickr 3D Tiltviewer!

Posted in Computer, Consumer, Cool, Design, Graphics, photography by max on the January 21st, 2008 at 9:37 pm

Flickr 3D Tiltviewer!

Wow, these guys know how to make use of Flickr API. Here’s a 3D Tiltviewer that let’s you hop different Flickr pictures in 3D!

TiltViewer allows you to browse Flickr’s most interesting images in a 3D space. Images are pulled from Flickr’s Interestingness list.

TiltViewer was built using Away3D, a branch of Papervision. Currently Away3D provides better handling of mouse events for nested 3D Objects. One limitation of Away3D is that there is no access to a 3D object’s sprite, so you can’t apply filter or alpha effects. I’m guessing that soon these features will be added to both engines.

Does a 3D UI give more functionality than the equivalent 2D interface? No, but its certainly a lot cooler! Part of the motivation to build this was to explore ways to make 3D interfaces simple and intuitive.

Being able to load Flickr images into a 3D engine was recently made possible when Flickr added crossdomain XMLs to it’s image servers. Thanks Flickr!

Bloggers hit counter

Posted in Art, Business, Cool, Funny by david on the December 8th, 2007 at 6:00 am

Now this is what every blogger needs for motivation and if successful for showing off purposes too.

hitcounter

Once wired up this old time bell will ring every time your blog gets a hit, it will either make everyone jealous or embarrass you to hell.

Whatever the reason, it a cool thing.
