Bosnian Rainbows: Turtle Neck
Jul 01, 1:00AM
Bosnian Rainbows is sort of an amalgam of band members from The Mars Volta and Le Butcherettes. They're definitely alternative rock and have a sort of No Doubt-from-Texas vibe (they formed in El Paso) with some Latin Roots. Their drummer Deantoni Parks definitely keeps things interesting, and there's kind of a ska feel, but without the brass. Or maybe that's just me. Oh, and they have "rainbows" in their name, which is a coincidence, but yay Pride!

The Cabin In The Woods Cabin Is Gonna Exist And It Sounds Terrifying
Jul 01, 12:00AM
If you didn't see Cabin In The Woods that was stupid of you. It's really great. Scary, meta and pretty gutsy. And like all good things, well okay like all things, its brilliance is being exploited for a theme park attraction. But it sounds awesome. Some sort-of-not-really spoilers ahead.

This Ax Is Really Scary And Then You Realize It Has A Slingshot Inside
Jun 30, 11:30PM
This week Joerg invited some students from the Technical University of Munich to create general mayhem with him via a steel axe. But an axe by itself isn't menacing/relevant enough. It obviously has to double as a slingshot. And it does! The handle of the axe is hollow . . .

Anchor Is Sort Of Like Yammer But Pretty
Jun 30, 11:00PM
There are waaay too many social networks out there already, but people keep making them so what the hell, why not add one more. Anchor is social media for your office and is an easy way to keep all your coworkers' contact information available in one place. It also allows chatting and has ample room for overshares in the "company lobby," like 'went to the bathroom brb guys.'

Holographic TVs Are Getting Closer To Reality
Jun 30, 10:00PM
New methods for producing color holographic video are here, and they could lead to cheaper, higher res and more energy efficient TVs. Daniel Smalley, a researcher at MIT, built a holographic display with about the same resolution as a standard-definition TV, which is able to depict motion because it updates its image 30 times a second. The display is run by an optical chip that Smalley made in his lab for about $10.

Finally A Chance To Bend The Weather To Your Will
Jun 30, 9:14PM
It always rains the day you're moving or gets really icy when you have a lot of driving ahead of you. Murphy's Law definitely applies. If you could control the weather things would be much easier, and Design I/O wants you to feel like you can. Their installation allows participants to make it rain, produce wind, drive snow and bust out of ice blocks, all with a wave of your arm.

Panoramas From The Early 1900s Let You Gaze Far And Wide At The Past
Jun 30, 7:15PM
When the iPhone got native panorama function in iOS 6, people started sharing tons of sprawling views. 360s of stadiums, the whole visible coastline at sunset. Laudable Facebook wallpapers all. But the urge to capture really wide shots didn't start a few years ago, it began in the 1800s when photographers like George R. Lawrence realized that aerial technology could help them take new kinds of photos.

What's The Biggest Repair Your Computer Has Ever Needed?
Jun 30, 6:00PM
The other day I went to the Apple Store to pick up my computer and I felt like a celebrity. The person assigned to help me ran over and asked enthusiastically if I was Lily Newman. I nodded and immediately assumed that he recognized my name from Gizmodo and was about to tell me how quippy and brilliant I am. Because that totally happens to me all the time. Instead he produced my laptop, grinned at me, and said, "This laptop had so much wrong with it. It's ridiculous!" Soooo, yeah. My computer had been randomly freezing for awhile, but I didn't know it was on the verge of becoming an incredibly expensive pile of garbage.

Wireframe Furniture Looks Great But Is Almost Certainly Uncomfortable
Jun 30, 5:31PM
It would be so convenient if all the clutter in life could just disappear. Only the essentials. Clean lines. If you replaced everything in your house with pieces from this series by Japanese architecture group NOIZ you would never need to worry about loose change under the couch cushions or crumbs on the table again. Also having a couch that you can only see from certain angles is a convenient party trick.

Absurd Stock Photos Made The First Silicon Alley Billionaire
Jun 30, 2:35PM
Photos of garbage or (fully clothed) people posing with fruit are big business. Stock photo sites, which provide images for news organizations, blogs, corporate campaigns and all manner of low-budget advertising, have been growing for years. And Shutterstock, founded in 2003 by Jonathan Oringer, has expanded from hosting 30,000 of Oringer's own photos to distributing about 28 million licensed photos/illustrations/videos. And all those cats riding merry-go-rounds have made Oringer a billionaire.

Jun 30, 1:13PM
The internet is all about the free flow of ideas, right? Collaboration! Discourse! Sharing! The day to day reality of what we do online may not always be quite so idealistic and ideologically motivated, but the open underpinnings are there. Except, of course, when they're not at all. This visualization, published by Sebastian Sadowski, uses Google's transparency data to visualize all the things the company has been asked to censor.

Jun 30, 1:00AM

Jun 30, 12:58AM
Carlos Valero is the brilliant mind behind this functional, life-size and creepy-as-hell Lego Alien Facehugger. This MOC 1:1 scale model uses only 500 bricks, and is so beautifully-accurate it would make Giger blush.

C-3P0 Is the Best Worst Rapper
Jun 30, 12:00AM
If there was a list of people (and robots) that should avoid rapping—and maybe there ought to be—C-3P0 would be sitting pretty far up towards the top. Fluent in six million forms of communication and not an ounce of flow.

Portland's New Streetlights Are Psychedelic, Carnivorous Plants
Jun 29, 11:01PM
If you've seen one streetlight, you've pretty much seen them all. They're important, sure, but they're usually not much to look at. The lamps that popped up across Portland are a little bit different. A little more like giant, carnivorous plants.

Drool Over this Chart of All the Glorious Superpowers You'll Never Have
Jun 29, 10:00PM
I don't have any superpowers. Neither do you. But we can both salivate with envy at all the marvelous flavors of superpowers we could have, if they were real. And to aid us in that noble pursuit, Pop Chart has put out their Giant-Size Omnibus of Superpowers, a (fairly) comprehensive menu of powers and their associated owners.

Jun 29, 8:06PM
Heads up: Instagram is weathering a bit of a spam attack right now, and as you may have noticed, it's drowning in fruit. This rather large wave of juicy spam seems to be pushing some sort of "miracle fruit diet" and it could mess up your account if you fall for it.

All the Hidden Chemicals That Are Lurking In Your Coffee
Jun 29, 5:00PM
Caffeine. For most of us, that's the only chemical compound in coffee that's worth a damn. But that's far from the only thing that's hiding in that simmering cup of black (or light brownish) glory that you suck down every morning. Cockroach pheromones? Rotting meat-smell? Check and check. Drink up! [Wired via Neatorama]
