patty_o_furniture takes doodling to a whole new level with this Harry Potter Doodle. The details are amazing! It’s fun to spot the various ideas and images she incorporated into her work. Can you find all the books and movies?
In my most recent post, I highlighted some of the cosplay from OSFest in Omaha. I thought this clever project deserved its own post – make your own Hobbit Feet! The cosplayer simply took some fun fur and hot glued it to some thongs. Genius! And comfy, to boot!
We’ve got a cosplay double-header for you today. First up, JINKIES! She can’t find her glasses!
Let me say, that as a fellow glasses wearer, if Velma’s eyes are THIS bad, what was Fred and Daphne thinking, having Velma be a part of Mystery, Inc.??? (They should have left her at the haunted carnival!) Cyclops goes by the name of Humble Shield on Facebook, but I wasn’t able to track down who Velma is in real life.
Next up, do you know what Rule 63? “Rule 63 is a rule of the internet that reads as follows: “For any given male character, there is a female version of that character.” This rule’s exceptions are only in the instance that A: the male character is already so androgynous that a female version would be basically the same, or B: the female version hasn’t been drawn yet.”
Hang onto your lightening bolts…for the male version of STORM, god of the elements!
I am a member of the Genius, Billionaire, Playboy, Philanthropist, fan club and have the T-shirt to prove it. But I can’t wear a shirt like that to work. What I can wear is an Arc Reactor shawl and see who notices. Crafter Mabiana has done just that, knitting a pattern to emulate the Vibranium arc reactor.
The pattern is only charted, but look at what you get. Your very own, quietly nerdy shawl. You may not have built it in a cave with a box of scraps, but you can put it together with a couple of sticks and some string.
While I certainly don’t agree with vandalism and obscene graffiti, some ‘street enhancements’ are just marvelous! I especially love this funky 3D mushroom by Sebastián Duccoli. You can find more pictures of the project at the Behance page.
I’m getting used to being in total awe of some of the creativity, innovation, and pure genius displayed by people all over the Internet. The Geek collective especially seems to be amply blessed in all three departments, and this Instructable inspired by the wonderful Close Encounters of the Third Kind, posted by LeoneLabs, is no exception.
Admittedly, this isn’t your easy-to-recreate kind of geekcraft. You’ll need to get your head around electronics, microcontrollers, a bit of code, and it looks like you’d need a fair bit of patience to do all of the optimising and stuff that LeoneLabs goes into in the later steps. The components and materials also cost in the region of $550, but when you look at the results (and there are more awesome images to drool over if you follow the link), it looks like $550 well spent!
Personally, I have nothing further than GCSE (10th grade) electronics knowledge, and probably even less experience wth microcontrollers. So I will just sit back and marvel at the greatness that is PixelBrite, and wish I had one. Or four.
