    DIY: Wooden DSLR shoulder mount

    Posted on May 5, 2010 | No Comments
    Most shoulder mounts for DSLR video are strange metal and carbon fiber contraptions, which work I guess. But what if you want something a bit more organic, something that you can make yourself. Here's a shoulder mount that was constructed from a single piece of wood.

    Form over function: Brinell Purestorage external drives

    Posted on March 29, 2010 | No Comments
    I understand the desire to have your computer stuff look good, really I do. But things like this are just silly to me. They are obviously pointed at a market that doesn't know any better, and buy things based on the appearance rather then the functionality. Brinell, the company that makes these fancy veneer clad drives, has even won a couple of design awards for their form over function.

    McLaren MP4-12C: We live in a world where $225,000 cars are considered ‘affordable’

    Posted on March 21, 2010 | No Comments
    Watch out, Nicholas writing about cars, there's bound to be errors! (No different from anything else, really.) It's the McLaren MP4-12C, a £150,000 ($225,000) supercar that McLaren is actually positioning as "affordable." I mean, an Xbox 360 Arcade SKU is "affordable," maybe even a fancy gaming mouse when you consider what they do... Oh, I know who would consider this supercar affordable: people who play for Manchester City.

    Now that winter is drawing to a close in most of the country (it’s still snowing here in the Sierra Nevadas), it’s time to think about getting out and taking more pictures.

    I'm not sure exactly how useful these things are, but as a concept they are definitely cool. Flat pack furniture, sure. But I'm not so sure about flat pack vehicles, these look like they might have some structural issues.

    Finally, a dishwasher safe carbon fiber wallet

    Posted on January 26, 2010 | No Comments
    Geez, not to sound ungrateful but it’s like hey wallet industry, what took you guys so long? I’ve been sitting on this dirty wallet of mine for years with no obvious way to clean it. Thanks to the miracle of carbon fiber (it’s seriously a cool material, I’d wear a carbon fiber sweatsuit if I could), this $50 wallet from Hammacher Schlemmer “will never stretch, fade, or develop cracks like a leather billfold.”

    SmartfishThe SmartFish aircraft is a concept vehicle created by an engineering firm in Germany, based on the aerodynamic shape of a fish. So far, they have only built a remote control version of the aircraft, however a prototype is in the works. The prototype will be built from kevlar and carbon fiber, however the designers expect the vehicle to be relatively inexpensive to build.

    Sony VAIO Z Series: Core i7 CPU, four SSDs, 13.1 inches at 3.2 pounds

    Posted on January 19, 2010 | No Comments
    Z1_CC01_BH_lifestyle_v2Carbon fiber, people. That’s the ticket right there. It’s the miracle substance that allows Sony to stuff super fast components into a 13.1-inch laptop while keeping the weight at around 3.2 pounds. And while most ultraportable notebooks favor style over substance, the impending VAIO Z Series due from Sony in March will feature an Intel Core i7 CPU, NVIDIA graphics, 1920x1080 screen resolution, and the ability to stack four solid state drives in a Raid 0 configuration. Again, all at just over three pounds.
