Best Apple iPhone Costume Ever
10/26/09 - Pretty Cool
“This all started two years ago Reko Rivera and Bobby Hartman created a wearable large iPhone costume with a real 37″ lcd tv. An iPod was attached with a looping video of a real iphones screen in normal use. This time with the help of John Savio and John Matthews the team created yet another amazing rendition of the new iPhone 3GS. Savio loved the original idea but wanted to take it to the next level and make it thinner and actually work with user input! With some heavy researching and some solid determination Savio finally found a solution. He managed to modify the software on the iPhone to allow a live dual image output to the large 42″ lcd tv while maintaining the image in landscape mode. Reko originally came up with the idea and really pushed to see his vision come to life two years ago.”
An Oil Rig Made From Matches
10/26/09 - Amazing
“Finding your way round the Brent Bravo oil rig is a surprisingly bewildering business, even with a retired rig engineer called David Reynolds as your guide. ‘I’m afraid it’s a bit cluttered,’ says David. ‘But that’s how oil rigs are.’ There’s the main body of the rig itself, supported by three enormous circular buttresses, littered with cranes, lifeboats and a helipad marked with an ‘H’. Then there’s what’s called the platform – almost as big as the rig itself and designed to bob about to one side on an enormous floating pontoon. ‘So this is your drilling platform,’ he continues. ‘With the drill floor, pipes, crane housing… That’s the derrick – where the oil comes in. And there’s an oil tanker – look! It’s impossible not to look. Not least because, rather than marching round a rain-lashed oil rig in the middle of the North Sea and shouting at the tops of our voices to be heard over the wind, David and I are several miles inland, in a very quiet museum in a little village called Bursledon, on the outskirts of Southampton. Oh yes, and the entire oil rig – buttresses, cranes, derricks, even the oil tanker – is made out of matchsticks. A staggering 4,075,000 matchsticks, to be precise – all individually whittled to size and glued together by David over the past 15 years.” w/ photos
Bizarre Dog Yoga Calendar
10/26/09 - Odd Articles
“Relax, breathe in and hold it, stretch and stop that tail from wagging… these bendy pooches show off their athletic prowess by striking incredible poses for the 2010 Yoga Dogs calendar. A golden retriever in a warrior posture and a chihuahua chilling out in the pendant position are the dogs that are featured in the calendar, which will bring a smile to the faces of pet lovers. The tongue-in-cheek calendar hosts a year full of images showing popular dog breeds positioned in classic yoga postures created using computer wizardry by Texan couple Dan and Alejandra Borris. The animals were never in distress, said Dan who got Alejandra, a former yoga teacher, to hold and coax the dogs into position – and then Photoshop did the rest.” w/ photos
