Check out this demo software for creating stuffed animals! I’m looking forward to trying this out on a PC when I get a chance. If you try it out, leave your review in the comments. I’m curious what kind of files it outputs and I can’t wait until someone uploads a stuffed animal desing to thingiverse.

Peter is an awesome tinkerer. He makes really wonderful circuit bent instruments that not only sound interesting, but look cool too. Check this brand spanking new video about him and then check out his site, casperelecttronics.

Broadcast 2000 “get up and go” Full from Jordan Clarke on Vimeo.

Some videos are made, i swear, to just make me happy. This is one of them.

Tomorrow night, my friend Tim Ferris will have his own pilot on the History Channel. It’s called Trial By Fire and it’s an awesome show that challenges him to learn something that should take years in just one week.  This show is all about attempting to master the ancient art of Japanese archery while riding a horse.

I’m in Vienna, so I can’t tune in on the television at 11PM, but I’ll be on the lookout for the internet upload so i can watch it. Tim is an ambitious guy… in my opinion he’ll either succeed or hurt himself badly trying!

Read more about it on his blog and watch the preview to get a feel for it. Tivo it if you can. I want him to succeed! If it goes to season, I want to see him try and pass the astronaut space tests or something equally ambitious with just one week of training!

Aaron Amodt made an awesome sensor activated shadow monster and then he amplified the servo sound to make it look very scary. Excellent project!

This video is inspiring me at the moment.

Single-Camera Stereoscopy from Kyle McDonald on Vimeo.

Kyle McDonald says, Leaving Termini in Rome, in 3D. Uses the parallel viewing technique en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopy Recorded on a single camera at 25 fps, with the right side delayed by one frame. Assuming the train was going 40 k/h, each frame is about 44 cm apart — a bit more than the width of human eyes, but not significant enough to destroy the effect.

You can do this for yourself so long as you separate the left/right with a delay that creates about the width between the human eyes between perspectives. As a rule of thumb, at 30 fps, 1 frame is approximately the distance in centimeters of your speed in kilometers/hour (10 km/h / 30 fps = 9.2 cm).

I’ve done a few experiments with stereo photos back when i was doing pinhole stuff. Now I just need a video 3D viewer!

Kristen O’Friel made this super clever haptic navigation device which can lea you around town just by leaning. Besides being insanely cool, it’s cute!
