Chips Poster and Trailer Online
Another nostalgia driven adaptation of a 1970s cop show is set to piss all over the memory of the franchise that ran from 1977 to 1983 – this time with Dax Sheppard and Michael Pena as the iconic Officer Jon Baker and Frank “Ponch” Poncherello in Chips! This show followed the adventures of two very well liked officers of the California Highway Police. While the show was labeled a drama, it always had a little light...
What To Do For Your Cat
Whenever your cat exhibits a prolonged change in appetite, your first step is to rule out illness, parasites or other medical conditions. Dental problems, such as pain from tooth or gum disease, can make a dog avoid eating. I’m really more an apartment person. Only you could make those words cute. Only you could make those words cute. Rorschach would say you have a hard time relating to others. Under normal circumstances,...
JJ Abrams Reveals Episode VII XWing
While JJ Abrams is making a noble effort to raise a lot of money for charity using the hype of the upcoming Star Wars VII and the Force for Change charity, all I can pay any attention to is the new design for the next generation of the XWing. Yeah, you could win an appearance in the film and a visit to the set by donating to Unicef via Force for Change But honestly, that sleeker version of the XWing is pretty awesome – if they...
Hoverboards are Real – Nope.
The elaborate and brief hoax had every geek busting at the seams with glee as it appeared a company named Huvr had actually accomplished the impossible and invented the hovering skateboard we have been waiting for since 1989. Great Scott! The Hoverboard is REAL!! Only it isn’t. The above video is a very clever and well done promo with celebrity endorsements like Back to the Future star Christopher Lloyd, Mobi and Skater legend...
Game of Thrones Puzzle and Popup Book are Awesome
I have always wanted a map that was the opening sequence of Game of Thrones, with its little expanding clockwork cities and landscape models. I thought that would make for an impressive piece of art. They haven’t quite done this, however the closest we are going to get to a retail product is this layered 3d puzzle of Westeros complete with tiny city models and landmarks! And if that wasn’t enough, we also tripped across...
How to win at Flappy Birds
Remember when you were younger playing video games and there was always one level you just couldn’t get past so you either ragequit the game or you got a buddy or older sibling to get past it for you? Well that is the entire premise of the now legendary Flappy Birds. However, two inventive robotics geeks in China have created a robot that will beat the hell out of this copyright infringing game. Liu Yang and Shi Xuekun made a...
Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark Game Trailer
Transformers Rise of the Dark Spark looks to be continuing the fun and style of War for Cybertron for the gaming world. The film versions of the Transformers seem to have a bit of influence on the prequel generation of Transformers found in the game. Looks like a lot of fun. I wished there were more Transformer games like War for Cybertron, and it looks like there will be! Which side would you be playing? Autobots or...
She Just Wanted A Dragon
The heart grows a few sizes when I hear stories like this. Little 7 Year Old Sophie wrote a letter to CSIRO asking them to make her a dragon. Their response was a polite “We will look into it” But instead of just a brush off comment they DID look into it! The story went viral and many people offered their support on how they could make a dragon. Even Dreamworks called in and suggested they knew someone who could train...
The Art of Trolling – XBoxSignOut
I do not condone Trolls – people who cause disruption and start fights online for amusement. However, this is such a clever use of the new technology to fool impulsive players into doing something unintentional. On the XBox One (and XBox) there are voice commands that you can issue like so many Star Trek Captains before you. Announcing “XBox” followed by a number of simple commands verbally will cause the XBox to...
Simpsons Lego Set is Real
I am a big Lego fan, and seeing some creations by other super fans is always fun to see, but when they make them officially licensed and available to the public? Now that is awesome. The set will be available next month at the price of $199.99US ($229Cdn). Bit steep, but the attention to detail is incredible. I would consider...
Panoramic Ball Camera that you can Throw!
You know what I love about crowdfunding? That there are literally no limits. Want to invent a panoramic camera? Why stop there? Make a 360 degree camera! THAT YOU CAN THROW!! And that’s what these guys did. They invented the Panono. The idea is that this camera is not just a multi-lens cam that takes shots in a bunch of directions like the one perched on top of the Google Maps Streetview car. This camera is designed to be thrown...
Giant K’Nex Ball Machine
K’nex builder at The Works Museum in Bloomington Minnesota has constructed a massive “Ball Machine” that so far remains nameless and still expanding. The machine stands 23.5 feet tall and 40 feet long, and contains over 100,000 pieces. It has 2 lifts, 3 motors, and 8 paths, including a 20 foot free-fall, an 8 foot tall big-ball-factory spiral, and a 60 foot long path which hangs from the ceiling. It takes 3 and a...
