Lego Galactica Clusterfrak So Big It Can Probably Crush a Real Cylon Baseship

I’m fraking being blown away by the last episodes of Galactica, so when I saw this huge Lego clusterfrak of Colonial Vipers and Raptors, complete with a 13-foot BSG hangar, I had to post them. This Lego Galactica fest was made with the people below, members ChiefLUG. [Brothers Brick]

Canon Liveview DSLRs Messily Hacked to Record Video

Because video recording on DSLRs is the Next Big Thing, I think, some 5D Mk II-envying Russian folks have extended the capability to Canon’s cheaper liveview-equipped DSLRs. But, unfortunately, there are lots of ‘buts’. This is as straightforward as these kinds of things can get—just run the app and start recording. How-eva: you need to…

Multitouch Implemented on G1 Android, Unofficially

Whether for fear of patent infringement or as the result of a colossal lapse in judgment, Android didn’t ship with multitouch. No worries—the hardware was ready, and the third-party developers willing to oblige. Developer Luke Hutchison has devised a way to implement multitouch in a few of the major apps (Chrome and Maps) as well…

End of the World Dated Again: 2012

We-Vibe Heralds New NASA’s Technology-Based Mystery Sex Toy

We-Vibe is a 60-gram sex toy designed to “fit between two people” while making love. Apparently it’s being a hit, and now its creators want to use an unknown NASA technology for their next hit: I discovered some technology developed by NASA that has never been applied to the sex toy industry. So we’ve got…

1951 Article Promises ‘Helicopters for Everybody’ (So Long As You’re Male)

Boing Boing stumbled across this fascinating look at the future of helicopters from an 1951 issue of Mechanics Illustrated. All these babies required to operate was a single seat, small motor and, naturally, a penis. But really, should we expect anything less from the era? Look as Betty and little Tim bid daddy a fond…

Is Battlestar Galactica Relevant in the Obama Era?

Major plot points from Battlestar Galactica were also front page headlines over the past few years: terrorism, secret tribunals, prisoner abuse, war. Will the show continue to feel relevant with Obama running America? With only a few episodes left in the series, BSG is about to disappear from the airwaves. The question is whether it…

Pentagon Mitex Satellites Are the First to Actively Spy… On Other Satellites!

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? If we’re talking spy satellites, the answer this week became “U.S. satellites,” two of which completed a first-of-its kind maneuver that had wide-ranging ramifications for all satellites currently in orbit. Update. We should note that the Pentagon admonition is only the first time the agency has publicly commented on satellite-on-satellite spying.…

Taiyou Ropeway Provides Open, Solar-Powered Views of Very High Places

This design concept from Fredrik Hylten would replace the trusty mountain gondola with an open-faced, sun-powered pod that, thankfully, has some beefy-looking safety harnesses. The pod has two seats and a sliding floor. The two wires are better than what a ski lift-style gondola might offer, the designers says, because it’s more stable in high…
