Resin Stools Filled With Old Technologies

FILED IN Entertainment No Comments

Artist Rodrigo Alonso fills square molds with heaps of old technology (read: junk) then pours resin in to create these clear stools. I’m not sure if there’s supposed to be a deeper message, but if there is I imagine it’s something about how fast technology goes from state-of-the-art to barely worth sitting on. Profound. Still, you know what would be even cooler than a resin stool with pieces of old tech in it? “A bloody stool with pieces of LEGO in it?” What?! NO. Besides, I thought your mom told you to stop eating your toys.

Hit the jump for a bunch more pictures culminating with several of the stool-making process in case this whole “fill a box with junk, then clear plastic” concept is just too hard to wrap your obsolete brain around. View full post on Geekologie – Gadgets, Gizmos, and Awesome

R/C Superheroes Fly Around NYC To Market Movie

FILED IN Entertainment No Comments

To market the soon-to-be-released coming of age superpowers story Chronicle, Fox hired viral marketing agency Thinkmodo to deliver a campaign. Aaaaaand this is what they came up with — flying three R/C superheroes around NYC trying to freak people out. Me? I would’ve hired a sky writer to spell out ‘SUCK IT’ and pocketed any money left over.

Since the three main characters of the movie have the ability to fly, we came up with the idea of staging a few “flying people” sightings around NYC. We achieved that illusion by having 3 custom-made aircraft (which were shaped like human beings) fly above designated areas in NYC and NJ.

Were people actually fooled? From the looks of some of them in the video, my guess is yes. But what did you expect? People are dumb as shit. I mean, besides you and I. We’re the only real smart ones here.

Hit the jump for the video. View full post on Geekologie – Gadgets, Gizmos, and Awesome

Wasting Time: Graffiti Any Website With Goggles

FILED IN Entertainment No Comments

Goggles is an open-source bookmarklet that allows you to MS Paint-style graffiti any webpage. You just go to Goggles, drag the link to your bookmarks, then click on it after you’re at the page you want to graffiti. Left click draws, right click and dragging across a line erases it, and clicking the bookmark again removes the graffiti app altogether. This is what I did with Geekologie. “HOLY SHIT BRO!” I know, I almost want to marry it.

Burn Nature To The Ground!: The ‘Venom’ Caterpillar

FILED IN Entertainment No Comments

Because Mother Nature may in fact be an evil sorceress and not the unshaven, tree-loving, weed smoking hippie-woman we’ve all imagined, here’s an actual shot of a Brahmin-moth caterpillar taken by biochemist/photographer Igor Siwanowicz. WHAT. THE. F***? Why does it have all those freaky doo-dads? Will it kill you if you touch it? Where’s Spiderman when you need him? Please don’t say banging Mary Jane, please don’t say banging Mary Jane. “Banging Mary Jane.” GAAAAAH — and I was just about to ask her out to coffee!

Caterpillar vs. Venom of the Day [geeks.thedailywh.at]

Thanks to Mark, who once ate a Spiderman caterpillar and can now piss silk but only after midnight and never with another guy peeping over the urinal divider. View full post on Geekologie – Gadgets, Gizmos, and Awesome

Girl Pronounces Any Word Backwards In 3-Seconds

FILED IN Entertainment No Comments

backwards-girl.jpg

This is a video of a girl with a blue streak in her hair who can allegedly pronounce any word backwards in less than three seconds (NOTE: pronounced as it would be spelled backwards, not the forward pronunciation PLAYED backwards). Is she an idiot-savant? Just a blonde? What kind of job opportunities are there for a backwards-pronouncer? Whaboumumblh? “What the f*** you say?!” I said ‘WHAT ABOUT A MUMBLER?’ you insensitive dick. I also stutter when I get excited, you gonna make fun of me for that too?

Hit the jump for the WTF’ery in action, along with a reversed video even though that’s not what she was going for (although a lot of the words still do sound alike). View full post on Geekologie – Gadgets, Gizmos, and Awesome
