Komamura Horseman 3D Film Camera

New 3D Camera 

Oh man, this is sweet! Twin 38mm f 2.8 lenses, shutter speeds from bulb, 8 seconds to 1/1000, rear curtain shutter flash sync, and 20 exposures on a roll of 36 are just a few very cool features of this camera. It even has an LCD on the back to give a read out on your settings. Oh yeah, it even spots full manual or AE shooting. And to top it all off you get a high quality stereo viewer included with your camera. With a price of $5000USD will keep this beauty out of the hands of all but the most dedicated stereo enthusiasts when it comes out later this year. I one day hope to see an affordable stereo camera with quality lenses on the market again, my 1953 Kodak stereo camera could do with an upgrade.

TypoTracker

Ebay.com

Now this looks like a handy as hell tool. Say your looking for something on Ebay and like all of us your out to get a good deal. Now, the best way to get a good deal is to be the only one in the auction. That’s pretty hard to do if a whole bunch of people are looking for the same item as you. Well what if it looked like you weren’t looking for the same thing as everyone else but actually you were. How? The same way that people make money off from fast typing URLs on the Internet, you do it through typos. Yeah, sometimes when you place an auction you might drop a letter in the name of the item or just screw up the name. ‘Apple’ is pretty close to ‘aplle’ or ‘applle’. Get the idea? TypoTracker take the item name you give it and churns out a list of typos and runs an Ebay search for you. All you have to do is sort through the results.

Fonts, Fonts, Fonts Galore!

Fonts 

You can never have enough fonts. OK, I guess you can if you have to keep them loaded in memory all the time. that would be a drag. Anyway, if you ever wanted to spell something in a font from a movie, game, product, or just about anything else you can find them here. Best of all, it’s free! Cool, eh? (BTW, this goes in the ‘to be used for evil’ category just because of all the fun you could have by doctoring things like DVD covers, not that I’d suggest that of course…)

New Mexico Spaceport: Open For Business

New Mexico Spaceport
Not quite ready for the Heart of Gold or Eagle One to pay a visit right at the moment, but America’s first commercial spaceport is getting ready for business. In July they will be launching their first small commercial rocket and after that, as they say, the sky is the limit (well someone had to say it).

Crusher, UGCV

The Crusher

To heck with UAV, UGCV is the real ticket. If you were wondering where the brains behind the DARAP Grand Challenge robots were destine to end up, it’s in a machine like the ‘Crusher’. Crusher is a 6.5 ton unmanned all terrain vehicle capable of packing loads of 8,000 pounds where it will be needed the most. It’s still years away from being a solders mechanical pack mule of choice, but when is does come into general use it should reduce the amount of casualties in convoys. That is assuming that the robots don’t decide to drive off the wrong direction due to a programming glitch.
