What will our future be? What kind of technology will there be, researched and developed in such a way that it changes the way we live completely? “True Skin” is an intriguing video that discusses a possible future, that of memory implantation, augmented reality and loads of blinking neon lights.

Lego Pop-up
Lego bricks are building blocks for great sculptures, models and all kinds of things. They come in various form and sizes, allowing you to mix and match to your heart’s content. I’ve come across several marvellous works and art pieces based off Lego bricks. What I’ve never seen before though is the use of these hard Lego pieces to create pop-up art. The video after the break. Continue reading
Raging Over Video Games

With that I thought it was only logical to go into the comparison first before talking about how I actually gotten my NAS working and running. Read on for my views on DIY vs commercial NAS solution.

DIY NAS – Purchasing and Assembly
Purchasing the different components and parts of the NAS requires some thinking and deliberation.  While all parts should work as long as they’re paired correctly (e.g socket 1156 motherboard with a socket 1156 cpu), some parts are “better†than others. When I say “better†I mean they are more value for money or if they serve a particular purpose more effectively. I’ve spent quite some time researching on the different parts available locally before coming to the decision which encompasses of the parts listed in this post. Continue reading
