This unusual rifle camera is a vintage Leica Gun with 400mm Telyt lens. Apparently, these are quite rare. Seems to be just the thing for a photo safari. The Leica Gun will be up for auction next month as part of the Tamarkin Photographica Rare Camera Auction.

DB Fletcher’s Capstan Tables are amazing, expanding round dinner-tables. When you spin them by the outer edges, they separate into sseveral pie-shaped radial slices, revealing more slives beneath that rise up to make a seamless, much larger surface. Spin the table-edge the other way and the table shrinks back again. The videos have to be seen to be believed.

Where else but the good ole US of A would we revel in crafting items that not only utilized that oh-so-lonely USB port on the rear of your leased laptop, but had the potential to “deliver welts” to unsuspecting co-workers? While the pre-packaged USB missile launchers are quite the novel desk adornment, this DIY job seriously brings the heat (and the pain). While the modder responsible here envisions a more robust, costly, and dangerous version in the future, his 1.0 edition features a $19 electronic AirSoft gun, the turret base from an aforementioned USB missile launcher, super glue, and the usual compliment of assembly tools. After disassembling the launcher and tapping into its base, a bit of fancy wire work is required to affix the more powerful AirSoft gun to the rotating turret. A few more screws and finagling, and you’re all set to demolish the fun at your annual holiday bash, all for just around $70 and a few hours of your time. So if you couldn’t handle boot camp, but still have a passion for mechanical sentries, be sure to hit the read link for the full skinny.

A MTV Brasil já anunciou que em 2007 deixará de exibir videoclipes no horário nobre. É difícil não resistir ao trocadilho com aquela música dos Buggles e dizer que “YouTube killed the MTV star”. Mas o fato é que há tempos a Music Television perdeu a relevância que teve nos anos 80 e 90, quando era o principal meio de se conhecer bandas novas. E sua filial brasileira, depois que dispensou VJs que realmente entendiam do métier, como Fábio Massari, e passou a infestar sua grade com mediocridades como “Beija Sapo”, definitivamente não me motivava mais a acompanhá-la. Saudemos, pois, a era na qual nós montamos a nossa programação. A propósito, esta é a segunda parte de uma série iniciada neste post.
Eggnog, gingerbread houses, Santa Clause, Sinterklaas (for our Dutch friends), “Christmas Man” (any Germans in the house?), holiday cards, endless holiday shopping, and lots and lots of holiday cheer.
