If you’ve got your eyes peeled for a new or second computer, pause your search and punch in Vagon.io. The new platform offers private computers, built to run high-performance applications, that you can start using in just a couple minutes. The company has been flying under the radar since launch in October 2019, supported by Sting, a Nordic startup incubator based out of Stockholm. They began out of the frustration a lot of us have faced – the lack of computer power required for the software we use and other options that are just too complicated. Their focus was a “Click & Use” computer system that would provide the power…
Nerf Guns: half awesome fun, half picking up foam bullets. Fact of the matter is, the color schemes are about as menacing as a rainbow. With bright colors and a chunky frame, you Nerf-emies will see you comin’ a mile away. But what if you could paint your toy gun arsenal to make it strike fear into the hearts of your opponents? For years, Nerf enthusiasts have been painting and modifying their toy blasters to lvel-up their look, and with this Nerf Gun Painting Guide from the Nerf Gun Center, you can too. The guide is 11 chapters, each with in-depth videos, images, and the step-by-step to turn your yellow…
Transmissions through the corridor were not uncommon but this one contained the fears and joys of a thousand worlds. We could only expect what was to come and knew, somehow, it was tied to the innocuous, strange hum coming from these links. Jimmy Knives – Low brow. maybe. Wild. definitely. Bat faces, eye heads, and oddities galore from this PDX based illustrator. More on his Instagrams. 1-Bit Pixel Art – There’s 8-bit pixel art, but then there’s 1-bit pixel art. What are the techniques to master it? Brandon James Greer shares. Juno Jupiter – NASA has a website dedicated to the Juno spacecraft exploration of Jupiter. With history and timeline,…
Or maybe I should say, you’ll want to buy it. If it was just a $59 dollar 3D printer… maybe. Or if it just was a giant LEGO block… maybe. But a $59 dollar, LEGO compatible 3D printer… SOLD. And that’s what the 3DFORT printer is. “3DFort 3D Printer represents a whole new kind of toy and a tool for kids, makers, artists, and 3D enthusiasts.” As the first 3D printer from Hong Kong-based Jinan Qingshan Plastic Industry Co., LTD., you would expect some deep knowledge in material and manufacturing. Still, with its price point and LEGO buzz, you may wonder if it’s legit. That’s yet to be seen. What…
Though the world has yet to see what this year’s PlayStation 5 will look like (it’s still set to arrive sometime during the holidays), the folks at Sony were kind enough to unveil the thing you’ll be gripping for hours on end: the brand-new DualSense controller. How can the oringinal design of a controller be improved? Let’s have a look. In all, we went through several concepts and hundreds of mockups over the last few years before we settled on this final design. DualSense has been tested by a wide range of gamers with a variety of hand sizes, in order for us to achieve the comfort level we wanted,…
I’m reading a paper from Texas A&M University researchers that discusses the notion of using in-situ materials for additive manufacturing of buildings. When you learn more about this concept, I’m sure you’ll agree with me that it is a sweeping change in philosophy regarding construction in general, rather than simply a new material for construction 3D printers. Current State Of Construction 3D Printers There are several — but not many — companies producing construction 3D printers. These tend to be CNC-enabled concrete extrusion systems. Some are scaled-up versions of the venerable Cartesian XYZ motion systems, or extruders attached to mobile robotic arms, or even a combination of both. The common…
