Can’t read binary? Go here and convert the sets of digits before and after the heart.

A sweet, if awfully roundabout way to state you 01101100 01101111 01110110 01100101 someone. You can get the Personal Love Ring at Lyndsay Behrens’ (aka Idle Hands Designs) Etsy shop for $63 (USD).

Should gadgets and fashion come together?

Should gadgets and fashion come together?
Tech industry has forever been questioned if progress is actually leading us somewhere and if it isn’t better to just slack off, probably even get back to easy country life. That is an ethical issue that we often choose to not address to. Instead we take our sweet time following latest technology news and events. For now though let us switch the emphasis on what floats our boat, on us, or better yet, on the part of humanity that makes the ideal use of health and beauty products women.

“What you get when you mix an 1875 Eastlake Victorian platform rocking chair with a Permobil C300 Power wheelchair and a few trips to an antique store. Toss in screaming digital amped sound system, an event triggered sound processor, oh and a portable smoke machine!”

Every male on the planet has at least one memory of crushing his gonads on the cross tube of their bike as a kid. We all go through that stage where we aren’t quite tall enough for the large bike, but the small bike is just too short. Enviably one parent or the other just purchases the tall bike because they don’t want to have to replace your bike in a few months. The result is you end up getting racked.

A new bike concept has turned up on Yanko Design that may well be the ideal thing to happen to gonad protection since the protective cup was invented. The concept has a frame that can be stretched to a length that is perfect for the rider.

The best part of the design is that the entire tube and seat moves up and down. That means your kid won’t crush the family jewels. The concept is called the Bike 10 to 15 and even has disc brakes. Where was this when I was a kid?

DIY Soil Moisture Sensor

DIY Soil Moisture Sensor

I recently purchased some home plant seeds via a mail order seed company. I don’t seem to have the knack of caring for the seeds though. I followed the instructions on the packet but don’t seem to be having much luck in getting any of the seeds to sprout. I am thinking that next time I attempt this I’ll need some automation on my side. When I was looking into what some other people had done I encountered this DIY Soil Moisture Sensor on The Cheap Vegetable Gardener site. There is also lots of cool information on the site for monitoring and controlling plant growing. If you have an extra Computer case kicking around you can get some use out of that too!

“You should calibrate the sensor by getting a reading with the probe dry then again when it is full saturated in water. Ironically, the probe I made was almost exactly specifications as the one I repurposed from a cheap commercial soil moisture sensor so I didn’t even have to alter the constants on the automated computerized grow box software.”

brutal legend birthday cake would make jack black proud

brutal legend birthday cake would make jack black proud
This isn’t the first Brutal Legend cake we’ve featured, but it certainly puts the first one to shame. Pastry artist Barbarann Garrard (a.k.a.

This isn’t the first Brutal Legend cake we’ve featured, but it certainly puts the first one to shame.

Pastry artist Barbarann Garrard (a.k.a. Cake Rhapsody) made this Brutal Legend cake for her son’s 10th birthday – it must have been some birthday party. The cake is decked out with a great sculpture of Eddie Riggs atop a pile of skulls – sweet! Amazingly, Barbaraann says she’s not a professional baker, but I certainly couldn’t tell from these pics:

Gotta love that tiny little Marshall stack! Incredibly, the 32″ tall, 70 pound cake is almost entirely edible. Just don’t eat the dowels inside she used for support, and the wires on the guitar won’t taste very good either.

Barbarann, I don’t care what they state, you’re a cake pro in my book.

This new robot comes from Japan and has been in development for over a decade. Twendy-One was made by a team of researchers led by Professor Shigeki Sugano at Waseda University, Japan.

The team had help from over 20 different companies to design this robot, which could arguably be able to co-exist with humans. It’s made to help the elderly. What’s really amazing is how dexterous it is. It can even pick up small and flat objects with its four-fingered hand, soft finger tips, and hard fingernails.

The ‘bot can also bend at the waist. This grants it to pick up things lying on the floor. It is also strong enough to support the weight of a midget (77lbs). Actually, they say that it can support a person, but I don’t know many people who weigh 77lbs. Maybe they’ve got more of those in Japan.

Its body is covered in a soft, shock-absorbent silicone rubber, and it’s got tactile sensors, 12 ultrasonic sensors, and a huge LED array in its chest. The robot measures 4′9″ tall and weighs 244 lbs. The Twendy-One robot is expected to sell between $110,000 to $210,000 (USD) in 2015.
