One Step Closer to Curing Paralysis

Well… Kinda. Not really. Maybe. Anyway, Honda just made a wearable robotic walking maching that helps take stress off of knees and help old people climb stairs. It’s really geeky, though, so I wouldn’t imagine anyone wanting to wear this unless they absolutely needed to.

I have a paralyzed uncle, and seeing stuff like this gives me hope that he could one day walk through a park and fly kites with me again. C’mon, science! Make it happen!

Original story

Gesture Based Control, Minority Report style…

Is the future so far away? Or is it here but we don’t know it? No, it’s not here and we’ll never be able to reach it. We are simply stuck in the present. Good thing technology keeps evolving. Does that even make sense? But before I begin to ramble I’ll start my post. Currently, a company called Mgestyk is developing a notable system for Gesture based controls. Not too much info is being revealed at the moment, such as price or availability. It looks like an awesome implication for the right applications with the right tweaking. Although if I used it too long I might get tired and go back to my mouse. Check out the video, or click the link for the original source.

Naughty Counting

Here is an old video by Lemon Demon that I was showed to by Zac’s girlfriend a while ago. It’s really juvenile, but for some reason or another I just find it extremely funny every time I watch it. It won’t be very hard for you to understand whats going on in the video, but just don’t your let children watch this Sesame Street. Happy $%&#*ing!

PackRat Paragraphs: 1930’s Bullet Shot Glass Container

Anitque Bullet Shell Shotglass Container

During the Covered Bridge Festival, my lovely girlfriend Kim and I went shopping at a fine man named Whitey’s house. He had all kinds of random collectibles, weapons and neat stuff. One of the things I picked up from him was this antique bullet shot glass container. Stained with rust, blood, and well-aged whiskey remnants I knew this thing had to be mine. I’ve looked all over the internet for something like it and have found nothing. If anyone has any information on how much something like this might be worth, hit me up.

Overview:

Dragon Ball Origins is Atari’s newest addition the the Dragon Ball franchise and was developed exclusively for the Nintendo DS. I was recently messing around on my Wii’s Nintendo Channel and noticed there was a demo up for the game. Even though the game’s already out I know I can’t afford to buy a copy for review, so I figured a hands-on with the newest demo would be the next best thing.

Reviving Extinct Species a Possibility?

That’s right. Scientists have recently been able to make clones from dead mice that have been frozen for 16 years. This leads scientists to believe that creating clones from animals that have been extinct for millions of years is possible, as long as the remains have been frozen in permafrost since the time of that creatures demise.

As if creating clones from living creatures wasn’t enough of a slap in God’s face. What is the world coming to?

Flash Review: Alex Trax

Alex TraxOverview:

Alex Trax is a free flash game from NeoDelight that stars a young Korean on a bicycle trying to make it back to a sweatshop because he forgot some keys or something. I’m really not sure, but he’s also sporting a wet suit, army helmet, and pink bike. This game sounds totally stupid, right? Well it’s not. The majority of the students in my electronics class in highschool (taught by one of the greatest men I’ve ever known, George Corey) played this game every single day until one of us were finally able to beat it. It’s a hard game.
