The "ROMP or Remotely Operated Mobile Platform is a remote controlled paintball cannon that allows anyone to control where and when the pellets are spewed forth. Just don't try to drive this through a crowded urban space or the Feds might be on your tail. via DVICE Read more | Permalink | Comments | Read more articles in Arts | Digg this!...
Filed under: TV on DVD, Reality-FreeHere are the new TV DVDs, in stores tomorrow.For some reason, I didn't know that Jake and the Fatman was out on DVD (or I knew at one point and just forgot). Is this something I want on DVD? I'm tempted, because it's a show that you'll probably never see in syndication again. It's probably way down on my list though. Password might be fun. I gotta start buying these game show releases at some point. Cannon - Season 1, Vol. 2 Curious George - Leads the Band and Other Musical Mayhem Dr. Katz, Professional...
Our favorite droid gets a gadget makeover yet again. When is he ever going to get some respect? If he isn’t pulling aquarium duty, he’s keeping your stuff cold. And when he isn’t acting as your own personal fridge, he’s a drink server. Well, now someone’s taken a Lego R2 and made him into a USB drive. Which is neat and all, but he still ain’t gettin no respect. Because when you plug the little guy into your usb port, he just looks like he got shot out of a cannon and got stuck in your laptop and should be...
Behold! The Vulcan Ironworks sign on Cumberland Street in Charleston, South Carolina, circa 1865. Such steampunky exuberance! Teresa sez, "I count wagon wheels, a plow, an anvil, what may be some wagon springs, a great deal of ornamental ironwork, a purely ornamental sword, what look like some arrow fletchings (except those aren't normally made out of iron), a wrought iron hand holding a wrought iron candlestick, a rather fine alligator or dragon, and a small cannon. I'm sure that's not the complete list." Vulcan Iron Works Sign, Vulcan Iron Works: 1865 (Thanks, Teresa!)...

Just look at that bridge. I was almost tempted to call it Photoshopped, but then I remembered I'm not a stupid idiot. The Siduhe Grand Bridge has been in construction for over 4 years and stands 2,132 feet above the ground below. Holy shit! One of the initial problems with building the bridge was how to get the 3,200ft long cables across the valley. The answer? Attach them to rockets and blast them across. so you've erected the enormous towers on each side of the deep valley, deeper than any valley previously bridged. how do you get a pilot...
From Serious Eats Fill the cylinder of the Turkey Cannon with your favorite cooking liquid, stick a turkey on it, and let it roast to perfection. Like in a beer can chicken, the liquid helps cook and flavor the bird from the inside resulting in a faster cooking time and more flavor. [via CNet Blogs]...
After 30 years of production, the last Yugo will roll off the assembly line in Kragujevac, Serbia this month. Built by Zastava, the lowly Yugo was the pride of the former Yugoslavian republic, representing the country's biggest automotive export. The car found its way to the US in the late 1980s and was an instant hit because of the sub $5,000 price and warranty. Built on a Fiat 128 platform, the Yugo wasn't exactly a great performer (though a Yugo GV ain't bad). Nor was it known for high quality. But with 794,428 units produced it represents a major achievement...
Numerous users of the latest version of the Firefox web browser (3.0.4 released yesterday) are reporting memory issues causing the browser to freeze up or crash. Firefox 2 was plagued with memory management issues, but users had thought Mozilla had put these behind them with Firefox 3. In my own case, Firefox 3.0.4 has become nearly unusable. The first couple of Firefox 3 releases were fine, and after years of complaining about the product, I couldn’t have been happier. Firefox 3.0.3 seemed a little more unstable, and although there were no clear memory leaks, I went from Firefox never crashing,...
Wow, McG wasn't kidding when he said that Terminator 4 was going to be all work and no play. This "in between" terminator concept art looks like a half person, half robot, with a pinch of motorbike. It's a broken-down calamity, but scary as hell — which completely fits in the overall look of despair McG has promised fans in the new Terminator Salvation. Check out a gallery of robo-crazies, and prepare for the ultimate battle. Spoilers ahead. The half man, half bot creation is the T-600, which is not yet Arnold's T-800 and nowhere near the slinky liquid metal...
As many of you already know, I’m not a Twitter fan. There are many reasons why that is and none of them actually matter at this point because I have been trying to change my mind about it. You may have seen me around (@rahsheen). I decided that extending and remaining connected to my network of friends and associates online was far more important than any reason I had for avoiding Twitter. Now, most of the people I have decided to follow on Twitter are people I was already subscribed to on FriendFeed, which is really my primary place of...
Filed under: Fun, Games, Freeware, Time-Wasters, WebTiger of Mysore is a shooting game. You take control of a cannon defending your castle, and shoot the attackers that take the form of infantrymen, mounted attackers, and even cannons. While in some ways this is a straight forward shooter, there is also an element of resource management, in that when you kill your attackers, a coin or number of coins appear on the spot they were killed for a limited time. You need to make sure to collect coins while still shooting attackers. Sometimes your gun needs to reload, so if you...
Work wear and classic, timeless clothing are becoming increasingly popular. Stuff like L.L. Bean moccasins, Barbour coats, Carhart pants and Filson jackets. All these items in the classic clothing cannon have never really fallen out of style, they’ve just steadily and silently been there all along. But now, in these turbulent economic times, more people are defaulting to timeless gear that isn’t hyped-up or trendy but that gets the job done. the New York Times report: “We’ve been in a time of extreme consumerism, and at a certain point, you want to withdraw from the celebrity, flash and razzle,”...
