Rubikcubism making art out of Rubik cubes


While I still struggle in solving the rubik cube puzzle, these guys are already creating art out of it. By having the side of the rubik cube in certain color pattern and putting them together they manage to create a some what pixelated picture.

Brought to you by those guys behind the space invaders street art.

Rubikcubism. Simply awesome.

Scientists create remote control pigeon

Scientists take control of a pigeon's brain thus have manage to create a remote control pigeon. Based on this Times Online report, Chinese scientists have succeeded in implanting electrodes in the brain of a pigeon. With this brain implant, the scientists could control the bird's flight remotely.

The scientists at the Robot Engineering Technology Research Center at Shandong University of Science and Technology in eastern China used micro-electrodes to command the bird to fly right or left and up or down.

While a bird's brain might be easy to take control of, there is not mention if this studies will lead to human brain control.

On the other hand Sony did have a patent of a device that creates "sensory experiences" somewhat of a mind control device that doesn't require implants.

Self Standing Umbrella and a light bulb light bulb


100per has some very creative products. Two of my favorite from the designer, Hironao Tsuboi.

First of is the ultra cool standing umbrella. What a neat idea. Don't need to put the umbrella in a container for lean it against a wall or something. Just let it stand.

Another cool creation is the light bulb looks like a light bulb Hironao Tsuboi decided to change the focus of the light bulb from the light it produce to the bulb itself. The light bulb is designed in a way that it looks as if it is not inserted correctly.





Cool stuff.
