Pi Dish
Mmm, sweet tasty Pi. Here’s a dish with 88 digits of tasty, tasty mathematical awesomeness.
Lucky it’s only got 88 – because some computer nerd/mathematics nerd has just calculated it to 2.5 trillion decimal places. Which is useful for calculating the dimensions of incredibly, incredibly large circles. Really.
Shirt of the Day: How are people made?
This shirt will help you answer that awkward question that everybody faces at least once in their lives… It’s pretty awesome.
You say potato cannon, I say potaser cannon
This is probably highly irresponsible. But stun guns aren’t readily available in Australia so I feel safe reposting it. Plus it’s available on Make Magazine’s YouTube channel. A stun gun triggered potato cannon. Brilliant. Science at its best. This one is basically for Tim. I reckon we should make a couple next year Tim, what say you?
Alternatively, we could put together a potato gatling gun.
Technology rocks
Technology has an incredibly limited shelf life. Remember the floppy disk? They were those square three and a quarter inch plastic things. There were even bigger ones than that once upon a time. Back in the olden days. Coming across a box of redundant technology is just like discovering buried dinosaur bones…
Artist Christopher Locke has created a bunch of fossilised redundant technology.
Gunning your engines
So you’re a wimp. It’s ok. You can’t all be big and strong like me. And having to interact with those of us who walk in the land of giants must be tough when you have such puny arms. Especially on the roads – where you never know who’s going to cut you off, requiring an extra stern stare. This can get you in a bit of trouble. Because you are a runt who can’t take on anybody.
Avoid needless confrontation by sticking one of these on your car. It’ll be the best US$0.50 you’ve ever spent.
Pass the pigs
The Japanese are responsible for a lot of great television. This isn’t one of those moments. Pig rodeos. What will they think of next.
Piecing games together
Have you ever wondered where all the elements of a successful game come from? Well. They’re painstakingly put together in factories. Truly. Here’s proof. From Tetris, Mario, and Sonic.
Prime ice
Transform your walk in freezer with one of these bad boys… an Optimus Prime ice sculpture. Everybody needs one of those… from Flickr.
Rug be
Artist Chrissy Conant put together this bare skin rug – based on herself. No doubt it’s a talking point at dinner parties.
Variations on a theme
Guitar hero and Rubiks Cube combinations are so last year. Real geek prodigies join string quartets and play medleys of game theme songs…
Shirt of the Day: Pressure Point
Next time you enter a fight to the death and have the choice of weapons. Choose this shirt, and make the other guy wear it. It’s a guide to all the “deadly” pop culture pressure points. Just aim for them. Simple.
This kid’ll go far…
I’m not a big fan of guitar hero – but solving a Rubiks Cube and playing while watching the TV in the mirror is pretty impressive.
One point post
If you have two unrelated points and you can’t think of a way to link them then you don’t have a segue, right? There goes your career on current affairs television…
If you have a one wheeled gyroscope you also don’t have a segway – you’ve got half a Segway, or an Orbis.
Seeds of knowledge
If you’ve got a bunch of old books lying around taking up space why not turn them into academically themed pots.
Or you could just buy these (if you can read Japanese)…
