I was just jonesing for just such a device. I'm in the same bind and would love to play with a similar design but with a dial to log different jobs. Excellent job.

I wonder how easy a cheap, low tech version of this would be to make. A camera staring at the underside of a clear gel with an incredibly thin layer of opaque reflective pigment on…

I wonder what office could officiate the official announcement that cell phones are killing bees. I would assume this would be some kind of department of natural resources or envir…

I'm not quite clicking with the design. I'd figure you'd need at least the wing span of an ultralight to get that off the ground, plus a bit more for the weight of its fully panele…

But the author doesn't state why that equilibrium cannot change. He states that is hasn't, which is different. It's the difference between a double blind experiment and an epidemio…

I'd rather the headline read "hasn't popped" versus "never popped". It implies there's some force keeping the high heel bubble (whatever that may be) from popping in perpetuity, an…

This seems to be too simple and straightforward to be true. Also, the promise of a follow up video with no link to a description or more of the author's work is a bit suspicious. Y…

I've been staggered by the disasters ongoing in Japan. It's set me wondering what I can do to help. I specialize in prototyping and industrial design. After pondering for a while i…

I would suggest TechShop. Desk space, internet access, and $25/day.

It's completely news to me, but I don't have strong ties to the infosec world. This could be standard practice as far as I know. Is it usual to find analysis/info traders doing thi…

Apparently the secret sauce involves a bit of SQL injection.

I posted some advice in the replies on his wordpress. I'll repost it here as I think it applies to anyone in the making/programming/mathematics venn. Although I think you could con…

Apparently you can't have a party, even a political one, without "Arrrrrr."

You've got it. The other half of the problem is that there's a chance that when you start flipping coins the first 100 flips will all turn up heads. Now, does this mean that the un…

Isomers do tend to act differently in certain situations. You can't shake someone's left hand easily with your right. Although I'm not certain on the exact mechanisms I believe it …

Sweet Jesus! Scientists have discovered gravity! In addition, to add insult to injury, as things get closer they only increase the gravity between them. Soon, the world will collap…

There are lots of folks at Eyebeam, Fat Lab, and NycResistor who produce art for a living. Some are artists for hire, constantly living from project to project, others work for age…

I'm applying this round. Eyebeam is amazing. Or, that is to say, the group I worked with was an amazing group of people. There were lots of creative people making the shops hum, te…

I've often considered myself a genius at being stupid. My stupidity aptitudes are staggering across all categories. Fortunately this has lead to some spectacular failures and the b…

Best of luck. I'm feeling the same brand of anxiety. Prof. Raskar has a good set of advice on the Camera Culture page http://cameraculture.media.mit.edu/join I'd recommend reading …

Oh my yes. Where's my head at. Neuromancer.

I had no idea William Gibson was so insightful and urbane. I suppose I might have read Necromancer without any appreciation of how early it came in the timeline of cyberpunk litera…

Seconded. I'd feel a lot more comfortable chatting people up with questions if I had a peek into the projects they've done before. And, knowing I'd like to have people call me up w…

I'm sure a decent proportion of scientists, mathematicians, physicists, and folks in fields that tend to be dominated by men that couldn't give a toss for the gender of their fello…
