The Flying Stick photographs you from above
via DVICE by Adam Frucci on January 24, 2008
There are a metric ton of digital cameras out there, but practically none of them deviate from the standard formula. They're all basically the same, save some slight adjustment in specs and maybe a couple negligible features. Not so with the Flying Stick Camera.Sure, it's not the most practical camera in the world, and you aren't going to replace a traditional camera with it, but...

Mother Nature goofs up, destroys wind turbine
via DVICE by Kevin Hall on February 26, 2008
The wind turbine in the video above is the standard 3-bladed model that helps harvest wind power as a renewable alternative to conventional fuel-based energy. It looks like the turbine got a bit more wind than it could handle, however, as a storm in Aarhus County, Denmark tore it apart.C'mon now, Mother Nature — we build these turbines to treat you better.

Living World lets you hold the Milky Way in the palm of your hand

The scene was a mind-blowing moment in sci-fi history and now you can relive the cognitive dissonance too with design firm Living World's Milky Way galaxy 3D model. Created using real space data culled by Eiichiro Kokubo, Assistant Professor...

That’s what you’re actually seeing, is that prediction. If you weren’t,...

Hot Dog Rotisserie cooks up braised tube steaks the right way
via DVICE by CharlieWhite on May 29, 2008
Since a lot of our dietary choices consist of foods you’d find at a baseball stadium, you can understand why we’re excited about this Hot Dog Rotisserie by junk cookery purveyor Giles and Posner. It doesn’t have the multi-dog efficiency of the 4-in-1 Hot Dog Maker, the toaster-like look or goofy name of the Hot Diggety Dogger, nor does it sport the dog-eatin’ implications or obnoxious...

LunaBlocks: Making furniture out of giant Lego bricks
via DVICE by Peter Pachal on June 03, 2008
Lego as furniture? Dude, you'd need, like, a million bricks for that… unless the bricks were gigantic, of course. That's the whole idea behind LunaBlocks — created by Thierry Nahon and Philippe Landecker of Lunatic Construction, the biggie bricks come in multiple colors and materials that are easily stacked together. Add a pane of glass or a pillow, and you've got fully functional...
