Voodoo People made with Ableton Live

Like the Prodigy? Remember Voodoo People? You’ll see it in a completely different light now.

Bring on the cyborgs

Impressive, yet fear inducing footage of a robot arm/hand that can accurately grasp objects in 3D space, at incredible speeds.

All they need to do it team up with Boston Dynamic’s “Big Dog” and we’re not far from the rise of the robots.

Cassetteboy vs Nick Griffin

I love Cassetteboy – ever since listening to a dodgy copy of “the Parker Tapes” (oddly ironic, considering his content entirely consists of the mutilated corpses of other peoples work), I’ve been hooked. “Cassetteboy vs Jamie Oliver” has to be one of my favourites, as does the “Bloody Apprentice” which he released earlier in the year.

This time, he’s gone and done over Nick Griffin. In record time too, considering the original content was only aired ~12 hours ago.

Epic.

Vivaldi awesomeness on the Accordion

This guy is way too talented to be doing this in what looks like an old folks home. (Complete with ribbon of balloons).

Hot Violin Girls play System of a Down

nath — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 09:18:12 +0000

Now I’m scared to talk to them for two reasons. Because they’re hot, and because they’re waaaayy more talented than me.

Also pretty cool, although not as hot, would be Adam DeGraff playing Sweet Child ‘o Mine on violin. Talented chap. (Adam courtesy of @lescochrane)

BakerTweet by POKE

Love this… POKE NY created a twitter specific device to allow their local baker to tweet everytime a fresh batch of baked goodness came out the oven!

Twist the dial to the right hot baked item and push the button to tweet! Genius!

Markerless Augmented Reality

nath — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 16:02:41 +0000

Incredible work from students based at the University of California, Santa Barbara, demonstrating AR with markerless environments. No idea what that means? Think Minority report meets Iron Man – or watch the vid below:

Amazing ball-point pen drawings

I genuinely mistook these for photos, until I looked a little closer…

Incredible artwork – check out the rest by clicking the photo above, or by visiting Juan Francisco Casas’ portfolio here

Always losing cables?

I’m posting to my own page here – hopefully it’ll be a temporary measure until I get something a little more permanent in place.

Here’s the first public beta of the Kohana CRUD Scaffold project

Please be kind…
