In fact, they’re so good, they’ve been used on 24 to add a bit of “dude, I have three monitors at my desk” ambiance to the set. https://gizmodo.com/sensory-overload-cinemassive-masterplex-21t-237700 Panoram has two sets.

FaceSCAN III Makes 3D Modeling Child’s Play

Why does making a 3D model have to be so hard? You’ve got to learn how to use complex software and then, on top of it all, you need to develop some sort of artistic eye! No thanks, that all sounds like too much work for me. I prefer to have machines to the heavy…

Shotgunator is a Binge Drinkers Best Friend

Any good college student can tell you that shotgunning a beer is one of the quicker ways to get inebriated while also covering yourself with beer. Sure, there are also keg stands, the ice luge, and power hours, but none are as simple and elegant as poking a hole in the side of a beer…
