Due to the popularity of my last blog post on pencil lead carving, I’ve hunted down 4 more fine examples of Dalton Ghetti’s work and one more example from the amazing miniature artist Willard Wigan. Each of Dalton Ghetti’s pencil lead carvings take up to a year to carve. Mainly, because carving pencil lead is a finicky business and he reports massive casualties in [...]

After seeing this video I am completely convinced that penguins are actually just shrunk down, birdified, wedding guests! Images: Flickr|mdid

In my quest to find the strangest forms of art, I have happened across a medium even more spectacular than toothpick sculptures, albeit similar, pencils! These pencil sculptures are each carved from single pencils by the folks over at infofreako. I can’t imagine how long it took to carve each of these pencils, some of them are incredibly complex, anyhow enjoy! The pencil carvings get [...]

The Honda Metropolitan is the bread and butter of the scootering world. With its 49cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke engine and weighing in at 170lb it can zip around town at 40mph. This might be enough for the run of the mill art student, but a real man needs a Metropolitan with a little kick. Not that kind of kick! I’m talking about a little [...]

What happens when a rabid Mario fan creates an automatic Super Mario level generator? Well isn’t it obvious, another rabid fan creates an automatic Super Mario level player! The result is really quite amazing! This level looks incredibly hard, and imagine trying it without stopping! The Video:

Whats the point of backpacking through the wilderness, facing harsh life or death situations, if you have to carry the backpack? Thats the question that Motion Code: Blue answers with their most recent concept robot, the Croww 540. The Croww 540 is designed to be the perfect robot companion for the adventurous outback trekker. Equipped with water filter, satellite tv, cargo space and a self assembling tent [...]

Wow, I could have easily mistaken one of these mean robot thugs for a mean human thug… well actually not. These robot segway contraptions are pretty distinctive, even with their dark hoodies. However, from two hundred meters away, looking down the sight of a  7.62x51mm M40 sniper rifle, it looks real enough. Australia’s Marathon Robotics created these segway mounted mannequins in order to [...]

This is a truly amazing piece of technology. It looks like it has some incredible functionality. One can zoom about the known universe, observing planet , star, and fly space whats-it names, while having the ability to pull up detailed information on orbits and interesting factoids.  I hope to get a chance to play around with it in the future.

When I was stumbling the other day, I came across a hilarious mashable blog post on funny google searches and thought I can do that, and possibly even worse! Or better, its been over a day so I’ve forgotten by now. I’ve already posted two humorous searches, but they are so fun so more it is! Anyhow here it goes! MORE EXCLAMATION POINTS!!! 1. Funny Google searches… Good old Chuck [...]

There is something just amazing about seeing the smile on this babies face. Photo: flickr|1
