Woohoooo Human Space Invaders

Seems like the only place I could link to this is Kotacu.com - This video was taken down from YouTube.com so it may have the same thing done to Kotacu if the original author (Guillaume Reymond) so decides to have it removed. Grab a look before it's gone. Wow this must have taken forever to do...LoL




Here's the link to the video @ Kotacu.com

Great...Just Great...Now I have to change my profile info...

Forget the little girlie man hamburgers I was talking about before....pfft...10lbs come on you can do better than that.

Seems as though Fuddruckers in the Foxwood Casinos in CT has totally out done themselves in way of Burger size. Forget about asking for 'Super Size' here. I doubt you'd be able to carry the burger to your table. And you'd definately weight out at least 29 and a half points heavier than you did when you walked in. I couldn't touch another bite....

Remember though if you're going to try this beast - they need 48 hour pre order - and the cost is a pretty good deal: $250

Now it appears that Denny's Beer barrel pub has decided to try to reclaim the Largest Commercially Available burger title by proposing a 50lbs burger...well see about that. Recently
Kate Stelnick (weighing in at 100lbs) became the first person to successfully eat the 9lb Denny burger (6lbs meat + 3lbs of fixin's) under the 3 hour time limit- Even a 400lb professional eater could only finish it in 7hours on his 3rd attempt. Grats Kate!

Check out the Norwich Bulletin article regarding the (almost) 30lb'er.

Oscilloscope Tube Clock



Ok. I applaud Riad Wahby for taking the strange clock thing to a whole new level. He explains in detail how do make one of these beauties for your self.

Now this one is definately a conversation piece.

Take a sec and check out JFET.ORG - He has some other very interesting clocks as well. There is also some very good material (in the form of links) that you may want to check out.

Also his Voltmeter clock and Single Digit Nixie clock.

iPod Universal Remote

Now I'm not really sure why you would want to take an expensive piece of audio hardware and turn it into a glorified 'universal remote' - especially considering all the work involved. But for those who seem to do things for the 'fun factor' or 'coolness factor' go over to Engadget for the full How To...


Seeing as I've been busy past little bit and haven't had the time to add anything new, I'll be doing alittle overtime the next couple days. Maybe I can do some catch up.

I guess I'd have to buy a iPod first to try this....mmm...well it should work with any menu driven MP3/Audio player as the IR commands are stored as Audio Files then played back through a make shift IR transmitter which plugs into your headphone jack on the iPod (or other audio device).
