You know what's missing with Wii Fit? Nope. It's maids! That's right, maids. Over in Akihabara's Refresh Club, folks can play Wii Fit with maids in frilly dresses. Like most things, Wii Fit maid style comes at a price: 30 minutes will run you ¥2,600 ($US TK). Says the establishment's owner: Playing Wii Fit by yourself is lonely. But here, playing along with a maid makes exercising enjoyable. That's a good point, and we're now ...

Now that we're a decade old, we figured we're long overdue for some spring cleaning. We started digging around our basement and found all kinds of junk: old Swedish fish, pigeon poop, Klingon translation books. Amazingly enough, hidden in a corner beneath Larry's and Sergey's original lab coats, we found a vintage search index in mint condition. We dusted it off and took it for a spin, gobsmacked to see how different the web was ...

I generally avoid blog posts that are less than a million words, but today you are in luck; I am just going to share two shell aliases that I find quite helpful for Catalyst development: alias cs="perl script/*_server.pl -d" alias carpcs="perl -MCarp::Always script/*_server.pl -d" cs will start the Catalyst server for the app in the current directory. carpcs will make all warnings/dies give a full backtrace. Maybe a little hackish, but very helpful. I use ...

Some people have way more time on their hands than I. Take for instance this guy, who painstakingly created this Star Wars scene using nothing but a crapload of LEGO bricks. Tim Goddard (aka Roguebantha) created this amazingly detailed scene he calls “Rebel Attack”. The diorama envisions Rebel forces descending on a base known as “Mustaneer” and kicking some serious Imperial ass. The display took about a year to put together, and measures about 30 ...

Physicsworld skriver om et av de mer interessante forslagene til geoengineering eller terraforming av Jorda: å øke skyenes evne til å reflekere sollys (det kalles reflektiviteten eller albedoen) ved å pumpe ørsmå dråper av saltvann opp i skylaget. Det er John Latham ved National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado som foreslår dette, og han mener man på denne måten kan “oppheve” virkningene av en fordobling av CO2-nivået i atmosfæren om nødvendig. Latham foreslår ...

Every time the media fires off its gravy so violently, it highlights how little some of the supposed "experts" actually know about computers. Case in point: People saying that Google Chrome is an operating system designed to compete head-to-head with Microsoft Windows.

I anledning den offiselle oppstarten av LHC-eksperimentene på onsdag har jeg vært i P4 og snakket om saken imorges, og skal i Nitimen på onsdag. Tross fjollete forsøk på å få dette til å handle om Jordas undergang, er det først og fremst en stor og viktig dag for vitenskapen. En dag da tusenvis av forskere verden over får tilgang til det største vitenskapelige instrumentet noensinne. En dag som simpelthen skriker etter sin egen rap. ...

Av og til snubler man over ting som har lyktes mer til tross for enn på grunn av brukergrensesnittet sitt. Fluktstolen er kanskje det beste eksempelet fra det virkelige liv. Men siden jeg nå mest er opptatt av det virtuelle, har jeg har en stund samlet inn eksempler på mislykkede men suksessfulle brukergrensesnitt i programmer, dingser og nett-tjenester. Planen var å oppsummere alle funnene her i bloggen til slutt, men jeg slet litt med å ...

So, V8. Well-hyped. It’s got a cool logo. And many claims are being made about its performance. But it is not the only kid on the block. As we blogged about a couple of weeks ago, Mozilla has been investing over the last couple of months in a super-fast JS engine as well. In terms of claims some members of the V8 team have been bragging a little bit about how V8 is “many times ...

Magic Flashlights from Mike Benson on Vimeo. I serien “unge-kreative-sjeler-lager-fete-ekstremsport-videoer” presenterer vi denne gangen en Snowboard-video litt utenom det vanlige. Mike Benson, mannen bak filmen “Magic Flashlights”, har rett og slett lekt seg med After Effects og lagt en Snowboardfilm som kanskje ikke setter spor etter seg på grunn av den råeste Snowboard-kjøringen, men som definitivt er et friskt pust hva effekter anngår. Scroll litt ned i kommentarene under videoen så forklarer Mike hvordan det ...
