Inside the Mind of a Steampunk Jeweler
via Wired: Gadget Lab by Charlie Sorrel on May 01, 2008
There’s something about mechanical constructions of brass cogs andgears that serves as an antidote to the silent, hidden workings of today’sdigital tech.So it's no surprise that "steampunk," which combines the aesthetic of a non-existent, clockwork-driven Victorian high-tech boom with a healthy DIY attitude, is getting crazy popular. For proof, look no further than the upcoming Maker...

Minimalist Clock Tells The Time, The Hole Time, And Nothing But The Time
via Wired: Gadget Lab by Charlie Sorrel on May 02, 2008
There are many things that the Meaning of Time looks like. Pop-up sprinkler, shelf bracket, vibrator. It is none of these. It is in fact a minimalist clock. A mechanism cut back to its barest essentials, it exists without hands or face.What Bomi Kim's conceptual plastic widget does have, though, is holes. Two holes into which you can shove the hands of your choice, and two grooves that can be...

Belgian Students Break Mento-and-Coke World Record [Coke And Mentos]
via Gizmodo by Addy Dugdale on April 25, 2008
Here's what you do when you're a student in the Belgian town of Leuven. You don a blue plastic poncho alongside 1,499 undergraduates, all standing in line at very long table, on which is placed a bottle of Diet Coke and a Mento. On the count of three, having raised your hood, you drop the mint in the plastic bottle, and 1,500 fountains of sticky drink erupt simultaneously. More pics...

F1/Carbon Watch has Expensive Looks, Like Real Formula 1 [Watches]
via Gizmodo by Kit Eaton on April 25, 2008
Designer John Pszeniczny was trying to combine elements of Formula 1 racing with gems and crystals, and we think he's done well with his F1/Carbon GMT watch. It's even got a stopwatch and laptimer built in, and has the time in each of the cities on the F1 calendar. The red-lit display looks kinda mean, and the 18 identical embedded rubies sure are in the spirit of the huge cost of F1. The...

Question of the Day: How Many TBs Is Enough? [Storage]
via Gizmodo by Kit Eaton on April 22, 2008
With the news from Seagate today that it had shipped its billionth hard drive, I got to thinking about the mahoosive amount of storage space that all those drives represent. Then I wondered, "How much drive space do I have around the place?" and after opening cupboards and drawers, I tallied the lot to what I think is a surprisingly large amount. You may beg to differ, and you can below. But...

Department of Defense Invests $250 Million in Regrowing Body Parts [Science]
via Gizmodo by Adam Frucci on April 22, 2008
The military is serious about regrowing body parts. So serious that the Department of Defense just announced the creation of the Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine, or AFIRM. The goal of AFIRM? To "use a patient's natural cellular structure to reconstruct new skin, muscles and tendons, and even ears, noses and fingers." Sounds pretty great to us.It's great because the...
