digital guitar

I found a digital guitar creates electronic music and runs Gentoo linux on Hack a day. It looks really fun and I approve of this.
Don’t think “acoustic” or “electric” but “electronic”.
hidden within augmented reality

Stepping into the verse’ of the known, we try to change our concept of reality with technology. It’s a very weird feeling moving your ideals into a new plane of thought. Augmented reality is such an approach that you perceive extra dimensions on-top of your physical plane. Here is a building that displays QR codes that can be used for a variety of applications (shopping, twitter updates, advertising, entertainment, etc).
The iPhone application is not in the iTunes App Store, but is available to interested parties on request. The project is a collaboration between teradadesign and Qosmo.
Imagine yourself walking around the grocery store holding your phone up to every product for up-to-date reviews. Imagine going out to a night club, pointing your phone at a person to view their social profile (“Oh, that person like’s cheese?”). There may be a time where you browse your favorite books at the library with QR codes. You could put a QR code on the back of your transportation that links to your website. The best part about QR codes is, you don’t know what you’re going to get. It’s like finding treasure (good or bad).

This just in. Fantom’s girlfriend has lost her phone yet again and has called upon him to use his phone to communicate with hers in hopes of retrieving it. But will he respond in time before the battery runs out? Stay tuned to find out!
one step closer to becoming a cyborg

define:cyborg
a human being whose body has been taken over in whole or in part by electromechanical devices; “a cyborg is a cybernetic organism”
cite http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=cyborg
Scientists in some labs have crafted synthetic red blood cells, setting into stone another step towards becoming a cybernetic. The lab made cells act like the real deal. Each cell is created by layering proteins inside a microscopic almost-doughnut shaped mold. These fake human blood cells can carry oxygen, are biodegradable, are squishy, stretchy and mimic the evolution mastered red blood cell shape too fit through capillaries with ease. Awesome for the future and medical innovation.
Go team advancement!
Props to discover.

The American Museum of Natural History posted this video titled The Known Universe on youtube and I think it’s amazing. It’s the actual map of our known universe rendered out nicely. The video starts out on earth…
