Knock Clock

Knock Clock from Giorgio Uboldi /// TRUO on Vimeo.

The Knock Clock. I'm not completely sure of the practicality of this device but I have to admit, it's pretty cool. A clock that tells the time by knocks. I just love the simplicity of its design and function but it's definitely not for the fast pace lifestyle we live in our modern society, or is it? Follow the link for more info.

MassMotion, Advance Crowd Simulation Software

Oasys has developed the worlds most advance crowd simulator, MassMotion. It is able to simulate, analyse and visualise how people will move through a spaces. This is definitely a helpful tool for architects and city planners as it would help foresee any problems such as bottle necks and high traffic areas that would hinder the smooth flow of people through spaces. I also find the high quality 3d rendered visualisation to be quite a good addition, as this would allow persons that may not necessarily know what they are looking at to get a visual sense of the information.

Nokia N8 Holds Its Own At Photo Shoot

Now for those who don't know, the N8 is the flagship device produced by Finnish company, Nokia. For a long time Nokia has been known for their camera capabilities on their mobile devices. The N90 and N95 are just two of the phone in Nokia's high end N-series, joined recently by the N8, that boast high end features like Carl Zeiss lens and Xenon flash. Using the capabilities of the N8 these guys were able to pull off an official photo shoot for PIX magazine with really good results. I'm actually impressed considering the N8 has a poor screen quality (in my humble opinion) for a high end device. Check the source for more info....

OK folks, its really been a while since i have posted anything on the blog........so sad really. I finally think I have gotten back the drive to post and have decided I'll make at least make one post a week, more if i can (hopefully I find the the time). Wish me luck.

Awesome Devon Works Tread 1 Watch

This is one uber cool watch...i must have it. *drool* I personally love watches, especially since it's the only jewelry I wear, and this watch is definitely in my top 5. I love its very industrial design and its clever belt mechanism that it uses to keep time. I must say, not everyone will like the look an feel of this watch but I really appreciate its cleverness that it presents. Unfortunately, all that pizazz doesn't come cheap, so expect to cough up $15,000 for this bad boy (that's a lot of coughing). Check out the source after the break for more details.

Amazing Photos........From A Phone???

After seeing some of these shots I had to make mention of them on my blog. These are some photos taken using the built-in cameras on a phone by everyday people.  No fancy camera, no fancy lens, just great imagination. Its amazing what is possible with the lens currently available on mobile phones. I only posted a few shots here but you can immerse yourself in all 395 shots over at the source after the break.

Nikon D3S Review....I Want One

My jaw is still on the floor after checking this thing out. It is a monster. Other that supporting a 12.1 MP full frame sensor and the ability to shoot video at 720p, it is capable of shooting at an outrageous ISO of 12,800. OMG!!! I mean seriously, if you are looking for a camera capable of shoot in extreme, an I mean EXTREME, low light situations and still get well lit, crystal clear images this DSLR is for you. Oh yeah just as and FYI, it cost a small fortune. $5200 USD to be exact. Check the source for the full review.
