Carl Sagan Auto-Tune (feat. Stephen Hawking)
I still can't get over how much he sounds like Agent Smith from The Matrix
via kottke.org by Jason Kottke on 10/8/09
Maybe you're tired of un-pop-music-like things being run through Auto-Tune, but I'm not quite there yet. This Auto-Tuned Carl Sagan mix is very nearly sublime.

Radio-Controlled Cyborg Beetles Become Reality
Who wants to go halfsies with me on a doom fortress?
via Slashdot by timothy on 10/1/09holy_calamity writes "DARPA's plans to create brain chips for insects so they can be steered like an RC plane are bearing fruit. Videos show that a team at Berkeley can use radio signals to tell palm-sized African beetles to take off and land, and to lose altitude and steer left or right when in flight. They had to use the less-than-inconspicuous giant beetles because other species are too weak to take off with the weight of the necessary antenna and brain and muscle electrodes."

That buffer shelf is freaking genius!
via kottke.org by Jason Kottke on 9/28/09
This robot can sort pancakes at a rate of over 400 ppm (pancakes per minute).
The action gets going at about 1:15...don't miss the explanation of the pancake buffer shelf about 2/3s of the way through. (via eat me daily)

Become pencils after you pass away...
In my will please!
via MAKE Magazine by Phillip Torrone on 9/19/09
Nadine Jarvis's "Carbon copies"... A little morbid, but a clever idea -
Pencils made from the carbon of human cremains. 240 pencils can be made from an average body of ash - a lifetime supply of pencils for those left behind. Each pencil is foil stamped with the name of the person. Only one pencil can be removed at a time, it is then sharpened back into the box causing the sharpenings to occupy the space of the used pencils. Over time the pencil box fills with sharpenings - a new ash, transforming it into an urn. The window acts as a timeline, showing you the amount of pencils left as time goes by.Read more | Permalink | Comments | Read more articles in Arts | Digg this!
