A couple of interesting things from io9:

CO2-Absorbing Crystals
Project neuroArm

Sooo purrrrrdy

I just found out about www.spaceweather.com from io9 and damn it's got some fantastic photos. They really help to put things into pespective, esp. the ISS pics.

Boom boom boom

I'm really loving io9 now - just today I saw a few pics of explosive goodness:
The Navy's Explosive Super Weapon Crushes Speed Records
When Nano-Wires Explode
Massive Detonation Leaves A Permanent Scar

On a separate note, I just finished FFXII: Revenant Wings and I am quite disappointed. I usually like most game endings, but for some reason this one was unsatisfactory. And it doesn't help that the gameplay was kind of annoying as you're essentially playing RTS on a tiny TINY screen with dumb AI (pathing to be exact, and no HOLD - wtf is an rts with no hold? stupid units running around...) Ah well, I guess I expected a better ending due to the barely tolerable gameplay. Hit up their site for some gameplay footage if you want. They do also have some nice artwork on the site.

Movie sneak peeks and couple of interesting stuff...

Been skimming through io9 lately and found these movie related links. I guess I should say spoiler alert?

Indiana Jones [spoiler alert]
CJ7
Dragonball

The site also linked to two interesting things:
Researchers extend lifespan of yeast cells and a submersible car with CNTs... what can't CNTs do...

So cool

Johnny Chung Lee is smart. But why describe with words when you can just see for yourself what he recently did: Head Tracking for Desktop VR Displays using the WiiRemote.

Future Sims?

A friend just sent me this link - U-Tsu-Shi-O-Mi... I think this would fit in well with some form of Sims....

SMRT

Now why couldn't we get someone like him...
Julius Sumner Miller - Physics - Bernoulli pt. 1

Should really be proofreading instead of watching his other videos....

Music that'll shock you

A friend just sent me this vid - Singing Tesla Coil at Duckon 2007... so freaking cool....

So cute....

A friend just sent me this blog - tons of awesome links, vids and pics: http://zooillogix.blogspot.com/

Imagine Keepon with EBA or something...

This thing is just too cool: Keepon, dancing beat toy. Another video of it interacting.

The more info about it can be found at the devs' sites: Hideki Kozima at the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology in Japan and Marek P Michalowski from the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University.

Animated emotion

These videos have been up for quite some time, but I only saw them now. Anyway, enjoy:

Kiwi!
Do penguins fly?

Hmmmm

I just got this video (Web 2.0 ... The Machine is Us/ing Us) from a friend and after watching that, I watched these 2 responses (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAVmB5dKZZ8&watch_response and for the grad students out there, Research 2.0). I can't say I agree with some of the profs in the 2nd vid.... but what do I know :/ (haha, emoticons :P)
