War Machine – Amazing Fan Made Costume

Fan Made War Machine by Anthony Le

This is probably the coolest fan made costume I’ve seen to date. There are some pretty cool Transformers costumes out there but this War Machine built by Anthony Le blows the competition out of the water. The attention to detail on this costume is quite amazing. It’s constructed out of high-impact urethane pieces which are attached with 1,500 rivets. The helmet is made out of clay and resin with built in LED lights.

RME Audio has a great new interface on the market for recording audio on the go or on your desktop. I recently had the opportunity to meet with the product rep in Seattle and check out a demo unit. The Babyface features up to 192 kHz A/D/A conversion with a SNR of up to 115 dBA., excellent connectivity, and as usual- strong drivers and software. The blue anodized case is attractive and it’s compact size allows the unit to practically fit in the palm of your hand.

Funny looking hands-free hat umbrella

The Backpack Umbrella – Hands-Free

Hands free umbrella worn on the back with a pack

Here is a somewhat less embarrassing version of the Hands-Free Umbrella Messenger Bag. Rather than wearing the bag on the front, this one is worn on the back and is still able to offer protection from rain, sun, and bird droppings.

The umbrella fits into a pack that is strapped to the back. The pack slips over the shoulders and you are able to secure it around the waist with a plastic buckle. When opened, it is able to cover a little over 39-inches of diameter with its polyester canopy. I like the fact that it is worn on the back but as you can see in the picture, there seems to be a lot of wasted space in the rear. This gives random creepers an opportunity to sneak up behind you and take cover in the rain without you even knowing it. Sharing is caring but I don’t want some dude walking right up behind me.

LYTRO light field camera with zoom features

The LYTRO Light Field Camera Has Features to Die For

They say that photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving and what you catch on film is captured forever. Well, consumers are about to feel, touch, and love even more thanks to the introduction of the world’s first light field camera for the masses.

Stanford University graduate and owner of LYTRO, Ren Ng, developed the camera over the course of eight-years.  So you may be asking what in the world a light field camera is. Unlike all of the imaging devices on the market today, light field sensor, created by Stanford University researches over 15 years, captures every possible source of light within a shot, traveling at every direction and every point in space. Is having this capability really a big deal?
