The Xbox’s revolutionary new D-Pad

September 1, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Which is better? The PS3 controller or the Xbox 360’s? Microsoft say they’ve had some feedback from their community which suggests that the D-pad on their controller could be better. They think they’ve made some significant improvements. In this video fan facing spokesman, Major Nelson, shows off the new controller. Check it out. Looks pretty […]

Stunning 3D light show

August 31, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This use of a 3d projector in Kharkov in the Ukraine is simply stunning. Watch the volume as you play this as the impressive light effects are accompanied by some awfully loud – but appropriate – music. For another example of awesome 3D lightwork check out these giant ants in Amsterdamn Cool, huh? What did […]

Alien Pez dispenses alien pez

August 28, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

We don’t have Pez over here in the United Kingdom. At least; I’ve never seen them. However we certainly know what Pez dispenser is. Check out this Alien Pez dispsenser. I do wonder whether squirting alien tabs into your mouth would appeal to everyone though.

Rock Band of the Future

August 27, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Holla. Been a crazy busy few days here in Geek Native towers (a pokey 4th floor flat in Edinburgh, Scotland) and as a result posts have flat lined. Sorry! This is an attempt to pick up the frequency again. Not only is this the first post in a few days it’s done on my band […]

Twitter friendly bike is @yesiamprecious

August 11, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

“Yes my precious…” belongs in Lord of the Rings, right? There’s no chance “Precious” might not related to the One Ring but to a bike? Certainly no chance that it could related to a bike with a brain that tweets its feelings to you. You sure about that? How could you not want to know […]

Sexy anime exercises – a bit too much?

August 10, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I don’t mind admitting that I like my anime. I don’t mind admitting that I like my tech. I like my Google Android. I also don’t mind admitting that I should do some more exercise and loose a bit of weight. I think, though, you can take this too far by merging all three of […]

Brian Blessed thanks fans for TomTom victory

August 9, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Yes, towards the end of this YouTube clip Mr Blessed does shout out “Gordon’s alive!?” You see; although Brian’s done so much I’ll always remember him first and foremost as Prince Vultan in the 1980 Flash Gorden movie. He’s also been in Doctor Who, Blackadder, The Avengers, Blake’s 7, Space: 1999, Robin Hood, Star Wars […]

Talking ping-pong balls

August 5, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Forget flick books. They’re not techy enough. You can create a flick book effect with some pretty impressive syncing with just some ping-pong balls, a pen, some light and a few thousand pounds worth of hard core high tech! Isn’t that much better? I thought so. So did the New Scientist. What do you think? […]

Bio-tech game controllers: every so slightly creepy

August 5, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I always really like it when talent at Deviant Art (or any similar site; Etsy, for example) scores the limelight. This is certainly true for Mads Peitersen who’s had their artwork highlighted by the mighty Kotau. Mads has drawn some fine – but every so slightly creep – bio tech systems. I mean “biology” meets […]

Play Mario with your face

August 4, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Isn’t tech wonderful? Haven’t you always wanted to play Mario with your face? What? No? How can you say that? Don’t you want to make that plumber jump just by looking up? Oh, okay… so maybe you’re not keen but maybe you’d like to know how Eye Mario works? If you do; watch on!
