Everyone has a dream. Corey Bunnell’s was to one day work for Nintendo. But he wasn’t sure how to make that happen so he asked for advice one day on a forum. That was ten years ago. This month, Nintendo shipped The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild with his name in the credits under “Wildlife Programming.”
Dyson’s Bladeless Fans are wonderfully awesome but also ridiculously expensive. Am I really going to spend 300 bucks on a fan? Nah. Thankfully, Rulof the master maker of things breaks down how to build the bladeless fan with a water jug, a few vases, and a microwave fan.
Some shows reel you in slowly, making you invest in the story before you decide that you love it. Sometimes, however, you can pinpoint your love of a show to a single character, a single storyline, or even a single episode.
The exhaust fan—that rattling, dusty vent hanging about 8 feet above the toilet—is the single most important gadget for the health of a bathroom. It eliminates the steam from a hot shower, helping battle the mold and mildew constantly threatening a bathroom's finishes. The device also helps fix more immediate air…
These iCufflinks are so cool, yet oh so nerdy. I secretly would like to buy them for Father's Day, but would be slightly embarrassed if my man actually wore them to our next formal occasion.
By now, you've realized that ColorWare likes coating beautiful products with strange, ghastly colors. At least they're colors you get to choose, mind you. Purchasing Dyson's fan through them costs $450, but send in your own for $150. [ColorWare]
I love this wooden fan from Dutch designer Luc Van Hoeckel, who used the original Black Forest design of cuckoo clocks to create a self-propelling fan. Once the weight-toggles are dropped, the fan starts churning. Beautiful. [Hoeckel via Designboom]
The imitation/knockoff market never ceases to amaze me. This bladeless fan from Abiko is a knockoff version of the Dyson Air Multiplier. But unlike typical cheap imitations, Abiko's version, at $223, is almost as expensive as the real thing.
Less than a year ago, Dyson changed the face of the humble home fan completely—not just giving it a bit of plastic surgery, but completely removing its blades. Now, two much larger, powerful fans have blown in.
It's getting hot and you desperately need a little fan to fit onto your desk. You could either go buy one or you could finally do something with that old PC of yours and tear out its power supply fan.
Doctors aren't hopeful about their prospects for separating the fledgling fan, which was born recently in Germany and is named Double Circulator, but it seems to be doing pretty well, all things considered:
Hate having a bunch of blades whizzing in circles above your head? Yeah, me too. That's why I love the idea of cooling off in the gentle breeze produced by the bladeless single-blade LoftWing ceiling fan.
In case my passionate summary wasn't enough, this info-clip will demonstrate how Dyson's Air Multiplier moves air without blades—except that it fails to mention that there are still blades inside the machine (that factoid kills the magic). [boingboing]
Fandom Secrets is based on the popular cathartic art project Post Secret, but the secrets revealed on these digital postcards involve writing fan fiction, lusting after Nathan Fillion, and Doctor Who. [Fandom Secrets via Warren Ellis]
This is the NZXT Sentry 2 fan controller. It installs into any 5.25-inch bay, and you can use its touch screen interface to set the speed of up to five fans. Note: Leather pants are not included. [NZXT via BBG]
