Simply Splashing

Alright, it's another week so we have another blog post...Some great & awesome stuff here so read on...

• Draw...Anything

Well this is cool... especially for you artist types out there. It's a new brush from the brilliant minds of MIT. It is a brush that picks up colors from everywhere you specifically point it at. You can then draw/paint an image onto a touchscreen canvas. Best of all? It can pick up movements like eyes blinking and movement over multiple colors. Check out a online video here.

• Another...Apple....Event!

Well for those of you that don't remember Apple had a music event about a month ago on Sept. 7. Well they had yet another one this last Wednesday. Some crazy stuff happened, a Video iPod, with the power to play video; a new iMac, with built in iSight(Webcam) and a slimmer design; and lastly iTunes 6, even though we were only at 5.0.2 they bumped it up so that it has a Video tab and we now can download such shows as Lost and Desperate Housewives as well as tons of music videos and a few Pixar shorts. This is some crazy stuff coming out of Apple...whats even more crazy? ANOTHER media event that's planned for the 19th...whoa. Check out a video feed of last weeks event here. For even more indepth info on the good and bad of the event check stuff out here.

• Rock Out

This is a shweet guitar. It hooks right into you computer via Firewire and then you can play and it records, overall it's a pretty sweet setup that prevents you having to hook up to another third-party product. I'd definately get this, IF I knew it's price...and then I still wouldn't be able to because it would be WAY out of my price-range...I'll keep dreaming.

• Pranking Geek Squad

Love tech support? Hate tech support? Are tech support? Either way you've gotta love what these guys did. They pranked Best Buys Geek Squad with some erm..."interesting"...problems. I've got all of these saved to my harddrive for later reference. Techies and non-techies alike will laugh at at least some of these. The most hilarious part? The Geek Squads response...never EVER outsource your tech support cause these people don't know a thing! (It's my suggestion that you do as it suggests to digg users and listen to Fan Won't Work first...it may be the longest but it's probably the greatest!)

• Free Music, Tender

If you want a full ablum free your most likely going to pirate it aren't you? Well here is a band with an idea, they offer their first portion of the ablum (first ten songs) online for free and they hope that the people will like it and order the full version which also includes some added bonus' (stickers, pin-ups etc.) I hope more bands will do this. If only for the free LEGAL tunes...Ok just for the fact that it's free legal tunes. Get the portion here. Edit: Another band, this time a Dutch punk band (they sing in english) has their ablum up.

• Messing Myspace

Ok, now this is quality humour. A guy decided he wanted more friends on the popular social site MySpace and so he delved into the source code and messed with some programming to make him, well, popular. Read the story here. DEFINATELY a good read.

• Life's Broken

Ever feel like the world is broken? Well it is. This site is fully powered by its users that show pictures of things that are "broken" in from life. You can find a full host of images in its database. It's a good site for a small chuckle. Check it.

• Life's A Game

Yes, another portion started by stating what life really is. Moving on, this site shows a group of people who act out parts of video games. From playing tetris and tring to fit into anything to being Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid and sneak into the back of a restaurant...and getting chased out by a cook with a butchers knife. These guys have it all. Lots of video for your viewing pleasure.

And so ends this great big post from me...I hope you enjoy my musing and ramblings of things that I find as I splah around the net...And now? The Fast and the Furious 3....This flash cartoon sums it up nicely and simply I say.
