I was just jonesing for just such a device. I'm in the same bind and would love to play with a similar design but with a dial to log different jobs. Excellent job.

I wonder how easy a cheap, low tech version of this would be to make. A camera staring at the underside of a clear gel with an incredibly thin layer of opaque reflective pigment on top of it could pick up and translate a depth map if the su

I wonder what office could officiate the official announcement that cell phones are killing bees. I would assume this would be some kind of department of natural resources or environmental protection agency, yes? This office would not likel

I'm not quite clicking with the design. I'd figure you'd need at least the wing span of an ultralight to get that off the ground, plus a bit more for the weight of its fully paneled body. I'm just not seeing how you fit an engine and enough

But the author doesn't state why that equilibrium cannot change. He states that is hasn't, which is different. It's the difference between a double blind experiment and an epidemiological survey. One attempts to isolate a mechanism that is

I'd rather the headline read "hasn't popped" versus "never popped". It implies there's some force keeping the high heel bubble (whatever that may be) from popping in perpetuity, and seems to draw a connection to the education bubble doing t

This seems to be too simple and straightforward to be true. Also, the promise of a follow up video with no link to a description or more of the author's work is a bit suspicious. You seldom get this brand of hack without having a handful of

I would suggest TechShop. Desk space, internet access, and $25/day.

It's completely news to me, but I don't have strong ties to the infosec world. This could be standard practice as far as I know. Is it usual to find analysis/info traders doing this brand of malicious software injection? Are a portion of ac

I posted some advice in the replies on his wordpress. I'll repost it here as I think it applies to anyone in the making/programming/mathematics venn. Although I think you could conquer art as a lasting business it's difficult to simply pic

You've got it. The other half of the problem is that there's a chance that when you start flipping coins the first 100 flips will all turn up heads. Now, does this mean that the universe is bent and has begun preferentially treating Mr. Lin

Isomers do tend to act differently in certain situations. You can't shake someone's left hand easily with your right. Although I'm not certain on the exact mechanisms I believe it is possible to screen molecules of different chiralitites by

Sweet Jesus! Scientists have discovered gravity! In addition, to add insult to injury, as things get closer they only increase the gravity between them. Soon, the world will collapse into a swirling singularity if we don't take swift, immed

There are lots of folks at Eyebeam, Fat Lab, and NycResistor who produce art for a living. Some are artists for hire, constantly living from project to project, others work for agencies. I'd definitely look into those labs and possibly coll

I'm applying this round. Eyebeam is amazing. Or, that is to say, the group I worked with was an amazing group of people. There were lots of creative people making the shops hum, teaching classes, and sharing ideas. Though, the group of peop

I've often considered myself a genius at being stupid. My stupidity aptitudes are staggering across all categories. Fortunately this has lead to some spectacular failures and the burden of knowledge that comes with. I think I've successfu

Best of luck. I'm feeling the same brand of anxiety. Prof. Raskar has a good set of advice on the Camera Culture page http://cameraculture.media.mit.edu/join I'd recommend reading all of the pages relevant to the groups you want to be a p

I had no idea William Gibson was so insightful and urbane. I suppose I might have read Necromancer without any appreciation of how early it came in the timeline of cyberpunk literature, but I was never able to get into it. After reading thi

Seconded. I'd feel a lot more comfortable chatting people up with questions if I had a peek into the projects they've done before. And, knowing I'd like to have people call me up with their projects, it's to everyone's advantage to bring th

I'm sure a decent proportion of scientists, mathematicians, physicists, and folks in fields that tend to be dominated by men that couldn't give a toss for the gender of their fellow researchers. They couldn't care in the least who's publish

It's significant that a large portion of gifted kids come from households where they're the smartest by far. My mother designs curriculum for gifted education, and over the years I've seen that part of the difficulty in raising a gifted chi

It would have made the headlines if a google rep gave boingboing or IO9 a brief interview saying "we are not evil, but no one messes with the google."

I'm not sure about that. There are plenty of boring jobs to be had, and quite a few of them are to be had at Google. I suppose banality and life satisfaction aren't mutually exclusive, but it's the case for me. Doing computational database

Well said. I wonder how vulnerable this system would be to griefing. I can just picture people being as annoying about posting your status at places your not as tagging you in collages of their favorite ponies.
