posted by Midwinter
I’ve decided to put together a list of the material I read on the internet throughout the day whenever I get the time to do so, meaning that you my loyal readers have someone to sort the wheat from the chaff for you.
-
DIY 3D Fabrication Machine Makes Sculptures out of Sugar
- I like ingenuity and this is a fairly interesting read - really though you’ll just want to check out the pictures and marvel at the time that’s gone into this.
-
Kevin ‘Digg’ Rose goes for 3rd startup
- This is a very brief bit of news, because there’s not much substance to it yet; basically Kevin Rose is rumoured to be starting a new company which will be building some kind of new instant messenger client. I’ll keep paying attention to this for any new info.
-
George Lucas Announces Two More Star Wars Movies
- Arg, it’s apparently true the legendary (not necessarily a good thing anymore) god of Star Wars plans to make two further movies that won’t involve the Skywalker family. Read on for the full scoop.
-
ROBOT LOVE: How Soldiers Are Loving Their “Bots”
- I really enjoyed reading this story, it revolves arounds those using robots to detonate safely IEDs in Iraq but is extremely well written and well worth a read.
-
THE LONG TAKE - The Greatest Long Tracking Shots in Cinema
- The longest camera shots in film (and some of the best). My favorites being Hard Boiled and Tony Jaa’s spiral staircase action fest.
So that’s my first roundup, let me know if you enjoy the feature/find it useful - don’t bother if you don’t I like my pride intact.
