MikuMikuDance: Kinect Does Dance Mo-Cap

Well, it was only a matter of time before we’d start to see some serious motion-capture done using Microsoft’s Kinect.

Boba Fett is Coming to Town… in May

Jabba’s been a good Hutt in Boba Fett’s book: What’s not to love about this highly detailed 8-inch fabric mache statue? Its release date, that’s what.

LaCie Float Concept External HDD Doubles as a Trackpad

Keybrid is the Coolest House Key Ever

I don’t keep any keys on a key ring with my car key. The reason is that I hate keys dangling on my leg when I drive. I always just go into the house using the garage door and my garage door opener.
