Petting a Kitty via a Robot Controlled via a Kinect Camera

January 4, 2012 – 3:07 PM

This is awesome. This man has invented a robot that allows him to be a Gundam pilot and pet his cat remotely by tracking his motion with an Xbox Kinect camera and looking through a pair of VR googles. This is the culmination of my last year’s work. I control the robot’s arms through the [...]

Owl Grooms Dog

December 11, 2011 – 12:25 PM

I like how the owl reaches for the dog with his raptor claw. More info at Tactical Avian Predators, where they train and use raptors to clear land of vermin.

Brinicle Finger of Death Time Lapse

November 24, 2011 – 8:59 AM

This is amazing how they captured this phenomenon for England’s BBC nature. Check out the full article on BBC. The icy phenomenon is caused by cold, sinking brine, which is more dense than the rest of the sea water. It forms a brinicle as it contacts warmer water below the surface. Mr Miller set up [...]

This is awesome. Apparently bald eagles are friendly and sound like seagulls and are friends with cats.

Parisian Flea Circus from 1949

October 17, 2011 – 2:14 PM

So crazy. Weird! Real Life Flea Circus! Filmed in Paris in 1949, this genuine flea circus sees some very big fleas pulling various miniature vehicles across a table. They are harnessed by a thin wire. Rather disgusting! However, until about 1930, performing fleas were in fact a main carnival attraction.

Turntable Cat Scratcher x Suck UK

October 9, 2011 – 1:07 PM

This is cool. Love the pun of cat scratching and the turntable. 15 pounds at Suck UK, some folding required. The platter spins and the tone arm is poseable. Really cool idea. Never let it be said SUCK UK don’t dabble in science. In the name of completely misunderstanding Schrödinger’s work we introduce our newest [...]
