I got a huge kick out of this commercial for the latest installment of Guitar Hero, World Tour. It features Alex Rodriguez, Michael Phelps, Tony Hawk and Kobe Bryant all playing songs in pink dress shirts and underwear a la Risky Business. A-Rod sliding in really kills it for me. I wish I had millions of dollars so I could ...

We all do some pretty dorky things in our time. Whether it be waiting two hours to get an autograph from William Shatner or cosplaying as one of your favorite Star Wars characters, dorkiness never escapes us. Hacking a video game to propose marriage is another feat that tops our list. A guy who goes by the handle TheRealPfhreak hacked ...

Ever wanted to stream video live from your favorite ball game? Say, perhaps, a game where the Philadelphia Phillies are absolutely killing that other team. Perfect. We all know you’re a business power user with a Blackberry Bold or Curve. Hell, maybe your wife even has the Pearl. Either way, you should head over to Qik’s website and get the ...

A mobile home is hardly a house. It’s a truck with a bed inside. On the other hand, the N55 WALKING HOUSE is the premier modular dwelling system.

The musical trio from Tokyo, Japan known as d.v.d. sound like a blast to see live. The group consists of drummers Itoken and Jimanica and visualizer Takashi Yamaguchi. As the drummers play and beat on the drums, Takashi projects and manipulates brilliant imagery on a screen. The sounds trigger geometrical shapes and landscapes via Processing (just like Metamorphosis 2), ensuring ...

Jean Shin is pretty cool. First, we saw her bizarre melted wave of vinyl records (we hope no Journey vinyl was used.) Now, we’re taking a look at Jean Shin’s TEXTile, an interactive sculpture that’s comprised of 22,528 recycled keyboard keys that are fashioned in a way to make it appear as a tapestry. At its base is a customized ...

Back in July, I briefly mentioned a beer pong raft that ruins the fundamental experience that is the game of beer pong. Well, the creators behind the Port-O-Pong weren’t too pleased about that, so they sent us one. Needless to say, my face lit up when it arrived at my doorstep. The advertisers claim it can be played “anywhere on ...

Glenn Marshall is the master of Processing and mixing an old Boards of Canada song (Corsair) into motion graphics. The above video, dubbed “Metamorphosis 2”, is one of his finest works. Try watching it at 2:00am before going to bed and I think you’ll find it oddly relaxing. Link
