Cars… The TV Set
Funny, I haven’t seen these on the shelves of Target yet. I’ve seen just about everything else related to this movie foisted upon us. I thought the last Star Wars film was bad, wow…
Building a DIY a Makeshift Film Scanner
Do you have a bunch of 35mm negatives (or slides for that matter) that you would love to get into your computer? No, don’t try to force them into your floppy drive, you need to get the tools out and make a trip down to the DIY store for some parts. This nifty project will turn a tube and some plastic into a holder that you can take macro photos of your film. You might say ‘hey, my flat bed scanner will scan negatives. Why should I do this?’ Well, you might not know this but your digital camera has a greater dynamic range than most scanners. That means you shadows and highlights will retain more information when you shoot them. Nothing sucks more than scanning a slide in and seeing blown out highlights and noise in the shadows.
Korgoth of Barbaria
I spotted this a few weeks ago on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim.
In a dark future wasteland, the cities have fallen, primordial beasts have reclaimed the globe and thieves and savages populate sparse, dirty towns. Korgoth emerges from the frozen north, and his merciless savagery may be his only key to survival.
I hope they make a few more episodes.
C-64 Coffee Timer
I wish I had one of these, how cool would it be to have your coffee made by a Commodore 64?

Calpis, Standing the Test of Time
A very Japanese geek sort of thing. I like the taste of it myself, it’s kind of a milky fizzy drink.
CALPIS is…well, a lactic acid drink ( according to my dic.) and born in 7/7/1919 !
Wow very old 🙂
