We’ve seen bouncy cameras and cameras that can be lobbed ahead for surveillance purposes, but this new concept from Turkish designer Hakan Bogazpinar looks to take the idea of tossable cameras one step further, with it boasting a specially designed tail intended to help keep it properly oriented. According to Bogazpinar, the camera would also be able to be customized to take still images at various intervals (but no video, it seems), and it’d even boast built-in Bluetooth to transfer those images straight to the device of your choice. There doesn’t seem to be any word on any plans to take this one beyond the concept stage, unfortunately, but this is one concept that certainly seems care about it could attract some backing.

I’m mainly posting this out of frustration, since I’m traveling to LA this weekend to visit friends and go to E3 and can’t go.

I’m mainly posting this out of frustration, since I’m traveling to LA this weekend to visit friends and go to E3 and can’t go. If you’re in Seattle, you are likely aware of Sub Pop’s upcoming SP20 music festival, starting (kind of) tonight. I’m angry because I’m missing a bunch of sweet bands like Kinski, Low, Iron and Wine, and most of all Comets on Fire.

If you’re interested, you can probably find a few tracks at Sub Pop’s Zune page (or at my own site). I mention the Zune page not because I’m a Zunatic or something but because Zune is one of the show’s sponsors and will be putting up exclusive tracks on the Zune marketplace after the festival. I’ll be hitting that up because it’s been a while since I got any new Comets on Fire stuff, and you should too. The Zune guys will probably have a booth so drop by and see what they’ve got cookin’.

Oh hell yes. I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. While sites like Abandonia and Home of the Underdogs have been incredibly good to my addiction to old-school DOS and Windows games, but more often than not it takes a lot of emulator tweaking, unofficial patching, and even command line magic to make […]

Oh hell yes. I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. While sites like Abandonia and Home of the Underdogs have been incredibly good to my addiction to old-school DOS and Windows games, but more often than not it takes a lot of emulator tweaking, unofficial patching, and even command line magic to make those old things work. And along comes Good Old Games, my new lord and savior.

What they’ve done is basically ported all these great old games from yesteryear so that they work flawlessly (I hope) in XP and Vista, and they’re even throwing in stuff like map editors, add-ons, and support. Games should cost between $6 and $10, much like XBLA, PSN, and Virtual Console games, and I for one am willing to shell out for a legit copy of Descent 3 that doesn’t crash every time I get past this one level. It’ll be launched in September; click the link for a sampling of the games that will be available then. [via Shack News]

Here’s a few of the games that will be out there:

• Descent 1-3
• Descent Freespace 1 and 2
• Fallout 2 and Tactics
• MDK 1 and 2
• Shattered Steel
• Operation Flashpoint
• Redneck Rampage

Oh boy!

These look pretty nice. Garmin’s new GPS line, dubbed Oregon, is all touchscreen (possibly troublesome for rugged button-lovers), kind of chubby, and comes in three basic flavors: The 200, which has only the base map and is missing some cool features like an altimeter and compass ($480) The 300, which has a worldwide map and those other […]

These look pretty nice. Garmin’s new GPS line, dubbed Oregon, is all touchscreen (possibly troublesome for rugged button-lovers), kind of chubby, and comes in three basic flavors:

• The 200, which has only the base map and is missing some cool features like an altimeter and compass ($480)
• The 300, which has a worldwide map and those other things but no details or topos($530)
• The 400, which has a worldwide map “with imagery,” and detailed maps of either coastal waters (for boaters), inland lakes (for fishers), and one with US topos and 3D views (for me.)(all are $640)

Well, if you’re rich and get lost easily, these are probably a good solution. They’ll be available starting in August.

From the word go, amateurs and professionals alike were hot for RED’s (relatively) minuscule Scarlet. After all, can you really go wrong with a 3K camera in one hand and a Dairy Queen dipped cone in the other? (No, no you can’t.) Nevertheless, those anxious to see more as the run-up to its early 2009 release continues can feast their eyes on an all new rendering. Oh, and if you’re the talkative type, tag the read link and join in the 8+ page discussion about that image you’re eyes are still fixated on above.

[Thanks, anonymous]
