			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Will we ever run out of creative uses for those primitive little LEGO bricks? I think not. Brickfan (Reasonably Clever) <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/reasonablyclever/">Chris Doyle</a> has created a functioning LEGO remake of the infamous <em>Picture of  Dorian Gray</em>. Chris actually retitled his version <em>A Portrait of  Dorian Bley,</em> a reference to a &#8220;controversial&#8221; blue-grey LEGO color  that replaced &#8220;Classic Slate,&#8221; oh my.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-28098    aligncenter" title="portrait_of_dorian_bley_lego" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/portrait_of_dorian_blay_lego.jpg" alt="portrait of dorian blay lego" width="600" height="525" /></p>
<p>At first glance, the image just looks like a giant portrait of a smiling yellow Minifig. But as you move past the face of the portrait, the dark (blay) side of LEGOland comes out.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-28099  aligncenter" title="portrait_of_dorian_bley_lego_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/portrait_of_dorian_blay_lego_2.jpg" alt="portrait of dorian blay lego 2" width="600" height="785" /></p>
<p>Doyle managed to achieve an effect similar to those lenticular moving  images by using alternating blocks of <a href="http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=50746">angled LEGO wedges</a>. Check out the video below to see the illusion in action.</p>

<p>Chris, I&#8217;d say that was more than reasonably clever.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Although Polaroid already has the <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2009/05/27/polaroid-pogo-instant-cameras-are-back/">PoGo</a> – a digital camera that can also print pictures instantly – the upcoming PIC 1000 is the more faithful successor to their classic instant cameras. Not only does the PIC 1000 have the famous Polaroid body, the pictures it prints also features the classic white borders, thanks to the revival of good old Polaroid Color 600 instant film.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-26581" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/polaroid-pic-1000-1.jpg" alt="polaroid pic 1000 1" width="600" height="400" title="polaroid pic 1000 1 photo" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;m not too keen on the redesign though; I can&#8217;t see how we&#8217;re supposed to hold the camera to take pictures. I think the body&#8217;s unusual shape also forced the designers to move the viewfinder to such an awkward position.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-26582" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/polaroid-pic-1000-2.jpg" alt="polaroid pic 1000 2" width="600" height="400" title="polaroid pic 1000 2 photo" /></p>
<p>But why should we focus on negative impressions when there are awesome facts to be happy about? The PIC 1000 will be released this year and will be sold at the low price of $100 (USD). Let&#8217;s hope that Polaroid doesn&#8217;t screw us with the price of the film.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you know what to do when Andre3000 tells you to shake it like a Polaroid picture, then you&#8217;re probably well acquainted with the anachronistic instant cameras from as early as the late 40&#8242;s. For the younger folks out there, instant cameras have built-in printers and use self-developing films, allowing users to print their pictures seconds after each shot. Polaroid doesn&#8217;t make film cameras anymore, but they&#8217;ve embraced other modern technologies as well to come up with the <a href="http://www.polaroid.com/pogo/us/index.html">Polaroid PoGo</a>, a digital instant camera.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-13738 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/polaroid-pogo-1.jpg" alt="polaroid pogo 1" width="520" height="381" title="polaroid pogo 1 photo" /></p>
<p>The old instant cameras could print pics on the spot, but you had no way of viewing or editing the pictures prior to printing, an option that&#8217;s all too common nowadays in digital cameras. The PoGo combines the best of both worlds, which means you can shoot, preview, re-shoot if needed, edit and then print all from the same device.The PoGo can print up to 15 pictures on a fully charged battery, but you can also transfer your shots to a computer via USB so you can view or print on your PC later.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-13739 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/polaroid-pogo-2.jpg" alt="polaroid pogo 2" width="520" height="446" title="polaroid pogo 2 photo" /></p>
<p>As you can see, the 5.0 megapixel PoGo is equipped with a 3.0&#8243; LCD screen, where you can preview your photo and edit them if you wish. You can crop, remove red-eye, add borders and even print dates on your photos before you print them. It takes 40 seconds for a picture to be printed on the PoGo &#8211; not much different than waiting for a classic Polaroid to develop.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-13740 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/polaroid-pogo-3.jpg" alt="polaroid pogo 3" width="520" height="335" title="polaroid pogo 3 photo" /></p>
<p>The PoGo prints pictures on a 2&#8243;x3&#8243; heat-activated photo paper called Zink (short for Zero Ink). Zink paper is &#8220;smudge-proof, water-resistant, fade-resistant and tear-proof&#8221; and environment-friendly as well. The PoGo is available at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001RIYUJQ?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=technabob-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B001RIYUJQ">Amazon</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=technabob-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B001RIYUJQ" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" title=" photo" /> for $199.95 (USD). <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0019UGCMU?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=technabob-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0019UGCMU">Extra sheets of Zink paper</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=technabob-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B0019UGCMU" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" title=" photo" /> are also $12.99 for a pack of 30.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever seen those headless paintings or headless cardboard figures in parks or zoos or movie theaters? The ones where you can place your head where the head of the thing should be, such that you look exactly what an idiot would look like? Well now with <a href="http://www.faceinhole.com/us/">FACEinHOLE</a> those headless bodies are online, making it easier than ever to make you or your mother-in-law look like the Terminator.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-10505 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/terminator-halfhole.jpg" alt="terminator halfhole" width="520" height="548" title="terminator halfhole photo" /></p>
<p>You can either upload a picture or have a fresh one taken with your computer&#8217;s webcam. Of course you can always upload someone else&#8217;s face. After creating the image, FACEinHole even gives you the option to buy a white shirt with your created image printed on it. Neat.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-10506 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/comedian-hole.jpg" alt="comedian hole" width="520" height="419" title="comedian hole photo" /></p>
<p>They have a lot of &#8216;scenarios&#8217; available, from movies to cartoon characters to the Jesus statue in Brazil.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-10507 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/elaine-hole.jpg" alt="elaine hole" width="520" height="453" title="elaine hole photo" /></p>
<p>You are free of course to put pictures of other body parts up there. Or anything that you have an image of. The Internet is a democracy. Anarchic democracy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Almost a year ago a RedPost made news with their <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2007/07/06/redpostkit-hackable-linux-picture-frame/">hackable Linux picture frame</a>, the RedPost/Kit. Today, the guys at RedPost announced Kit&#8217;s better, faster, stronger kid brother, the Signbeta.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2005" title="redpost_signbeta" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/redpost_signbeta.jpg" alt="redpost signbeta" width="520" height="308" /></p>
<p>While it certainly can be used as a digital picture frame, RedPost&#8217;s real mission is to replace wasteful paper-covedred bulletin boards with an electronic version. Pretty much anything that can run in Firefox can be displayed as a Sign.</p>
<p>Like its predecessor, the Signbeta packs a substantial 19-inch LCD screen and looks great hanging on a wall. But this year&#8217;s model runs much faster, has 4-times as much memory and comes in a sexy polished aluminum case. Oh yeah, it also is ready to go out of the box.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2006" title="redpost_signbeta_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/redpost_signbeta_2.jpg" alt="redpost signbeta 2" width="520" height="383" /></p>
<p>Within minutes of plugging in the Signbeta, you&#8217;ll be up and running. It runs RedPost&#8217;s <a href="http://theredpost.com/wicker/index.php">Wicker</a>, a customized version of Ubuntu Linux which boots off a USB flash drive.</p>
<p>The $599 system is powered by a speedy  VIA C7-D 1.5 GHz NanoBGA2 Processor, and has 1GB of memory this time out. Under the hood, there&#8217;s a VIA UniChrome Pro AGP graphics chipset to power the display. Connectivity is provided by built-in 802.11b/g wireless networking, as well as 10/100 Ethernet, USB 2.0 and PS/2 ports.</p>
<p>You can check out all the details over on the <a href="http://www.theredpost.com/signs/">RedPost website</a>. Let the hacking begin!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The guys over at <a href="http://www.theredpost.com">RedPost</a> come right out and say it. They want you to hack their new digital picture frame and do whatever you want with it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/redpost_frame.jpg" alt="redpost frame"  title="redpost frame photo" /></p>
<p>For starters, the <a href="http://www.theredpost.com/kit">RedPost/Kit</a> is a gorgeous digital picture frame with a large 19-inch Hannspree LCD screen. A mini computer inside runs a modified install of the <a href="http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/">Damn Small Linux</a> kernel that&#8217;s configured to display images or remote web pages. But the big news is that you can run your own Linux applications on it if you&#8217;re into that sort of thing.</p>
<p>The frame boots from a USB flash drive and also has a built-in 802.11b/g wireless connectivity for moving data to-and-fro. There&#8217;s also an EIDE interface and a Compact Flash slot for additional expansion. The fanless CPU means that it&#8217;s perfect for digital art installations and other applications where you&#8217;d like a whisper quiet all-in-one computer. Each frame is custom built from a plasma-cut steel case, and they come in a variety of room-friendly colors.</p>
<p>While the RedPost/Kit isn&#8217;t exactly cheap (models with the mini PC start at $549) it still looks like a really dramatic way to display your digital artwork on the wall. For the more adventurous, the open nature of the system makes it even more tempting.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The faux pas of the day comes to us courtesy of master of all things Xbox, <a href="http://www.majornelson.com/archive/2007/01/25/psp-connect-using-pgr3-screenshot.aspx">Major Nelson</a>. Apparently, some junior web developer over at Sony mistakenly used a screenshot of the Xbox hit racing game, Project Gotham Racing 3 in an advertisement for Gran Turismo 4.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/sony_gt4_pgr3.jpg" alt="sony gt4 pgr3"  title="sony gt4 pgr3 photo" /></p>
<p>The ad was posted for a short time on Sony&#8217;s <a href="http://psp.connect.com/">PSP Connect</a> website, and has since been taken down. I imagine that the genius who posted the ad has also been put down. The original image can be found <a href="http://www.bizarrecreations.com/games_img/pgr3/pgr313_full.jpg">here</a> on the Bizarre Creations website.</p>
<p>Keep up the good work!</p>
