Ever since seeing a model of a screw-mobile in an RC Model magazine as a kid I have wanted to see one in action. I actually saw a video of it last week, but this one was much longer :) yay!
This sounds so awesome! I really doubt I have a chance as a 26 year old IT-tech guy though... they'll probably want.. hawt chix? Will be interesting to read more though, whenever the site revives.
Paul in Boca: Actually it would make much more sense to call me an Oscar Reutersvärd ripoff! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Reutersv%C3%A4rd)
Brandon T: These are _very_ hard to rotate as they are created in three point perspective, with the distortion it brings, in contrast to Echochrome which has levels displayed in parallel projection specifically to avoid that distortion. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_projection_distortion)
Ben Eshbach: The perspective grid in the background actually differs for each piece. It is created after the figure is finished from the used perspective points and is not a premade graph paper used in the actual creation process. Dick Termes includes a number of perspective grids in his Book On Perspective Drawing, but you have to buy it for $10. (http://www.termespheres.com/perspective.html)
Thank you Neatorama for posting my blog, and thanks for the comments! :D
Not sure how special this really is... currently I _personally_ know a pre-teen child who has been without a real heart for more than seven months. She has a mechanical heart from Germany to keep her alive while waiting for a donor. It runs on compressed air, apparently a fairly knew technology as she gets visited by a whole lot of doctors and students to see it.
I've never felt that non-touch movements are better than touch-movements. Sure, they might be better than a joystick, but absolutely not better than a touch screen, IMO. I think the physical connection you have to a touch screen is wonderful and enables you to do precise actions, especially with a pencil. I can't imagine anyone doing precise work by waving their arms around in the air. As said, sure looks cool, but not very useful except for casual puzzle games.
Same in Sweden, just pay up and that's it, especially when you pay with your card and there is no change to get rid of. It did make me puzzled when I was in NY though, how much? When? How? Haha.
I've gotten these three or four times, during heavy stress. I found that for me getting away from everything to a calm place and lie down greatly reduces or completely removes the effect and lessens the headache afterwards. The first time it happened I was playing badminton and after a while I was very lightheaded and only had a small patch of unobstructed vision. It was frightening at the time as I had no idea what was going on. I would describe my version of it as pouring a liquid on your field of vision that heavily refracts the light, as well as the whole rainbow flashing colors thing... It's only in the last few years that I learned it's a sort of migraine.
I want to run up that stair as fast as I can. Especially on the outer edges with the huge steps... it would be interesting to see for how long my knees would survive... too bad I live in a fairly flat place without huge stairs :(
Incredisome! O_o As said, the searching it performs is something I've never seen before. It gives lightning a different character, a bit more evil as it actively locates a target by itself, stretching out, but also a bit mechanical as it uses a premade path once it has located where to go... I got to stop watching this now, I can feel it approaching my back!
My blog is a bit slow, as I only post personal projects, photos, videos and other misc creations on it. The most prominent content right now is impossible figures drawn in three point perspective, but that will also slow down soon when my stock of old images runs out :x
