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
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
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
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!

Exploding watermelons with 10,000 volts
We owe x-race car driver and self taught electrical engineer Jeri Ellsworth a thank you. She shared a video from her friend Joshua. Oh, yeah, Joshua likes to find interesting ways to explode watermelons. He likes to video this. Imagine what 10,000 volts could do to some watermelons? Actually, there’s no need to imagine it; […]
Augmented reality Godzilla t-shirt
I need this. I just need the t-shirt. It doesn’t matter if no one else has the software needed to get the AR Godzilla effect. Just wearing a t-shirt that could be seen to do this is enough for me. In fact; I demand a whole new fashion craze of augmented reality t-shirts! While we’re […]
Warhammer 40,000 Dreadnought is casemod mecha masterpiece!
What does your PC look like? Is it a tall black box that sits under your desk? Unless you’re into casemods then the chances are high that that’s exactly the case. We’ve seen some pretty impressive casemods but many of them have been held back by some limitations. For example; “it needs to fit under […]
Our first spaceship shields are likely to be magnetic
Magnetic energy is pretty strong. We’ve all see it overcome gravity. In fact, as New Scientist is quick to point out; it’s a magnetic force that shields the planet from solar destruction. Since magnetic forces are something we understand, can manipulate and are powerful it seems like it’s not too crazy to speculate that the […]
