LumiGram in France has come up with some pretty cool fiber optic fabrics. Clothes, table cloths, bags and pillows are lit up with battery powered LED’s running through fiber optics woven into the fabric.
Naturally, this means that all their products need to be carefully hand-washed and can only be folded parallel to the optics to prevent damage. I think this explains why the clothing seems to be oriented towards females since most of their clothes requires special care anyways. Still, I really like the light-up table cloth they have.
There is a young man in Norway who has caught my attention due to just how inspired and creative his videos are, as well as his actual talent. Below is a video he created made from editing tapes of himself hitting various pieces of percussion and some simple notes and chords on a piano.
What he does is cuts them together into a song without actually needing to know how to play either instrument. Sadly, the audio concept this utilizes this is how idiots like Paris Hilton can release a steaming pile of crap and call it music while lacking any talent (or purpose for that matter) entirely.
A final nice touch is the reversal of outfits one might be seen wearing while playing the instruments shown.
As anyone who knows me can attest to – I like beer. Anyone who knows beer, knows that like revenge, it is best served cold.
I came across one the best examples of overkill in a technical project that I’ve ever seen – the Jet Powered Beer Cooler.
I thought I’d share this, as it’s an interesting project (a home-made jet engine) and one of the craziest applications of jet technology I’ve ever heard of.
