It's always a bit disappointing when you find out they're just made out of circuitry and solder.

I'm not sure of the technology behind these images by Suren Manvelyan, but they have produced some pretty impressive pictures. They are so detailed that they almost look like etheral landscapes from another planet! Check out more of his work here.

Maltesers Ice Cream Thermometer

As a bit of a geek, I love having stats about stuff. This is why I wear a calculator watch. I have the time, date, conversion rates, the ability to time how long things take...I can even find out the time in Mexico if I need to. However, one thing which is missing is quickly finding out what the temperature is...a vital requirement when living in the temperamental British climate!

Maltesers have tried to solve this problem by introducing a handy Facebook app, which means you can find out the temperature outside next time you're checking out your news feed. When it hits 26 degrees, it's ice cream time! The first comment on this post receives some free Maltesers goodies.

Super Mario goes urban

Super Mario Bros. from Andreas Heikaus on Vimeo.

A very talented German designer has come up with an urban take on one of the greatest video games of all time; Super Mario. By using tracking software and CG (I don't know how on earth he did it to be honest), Andreas Heikaus was able to map the game onto a concrete wall. He sure knows his shortcuts - he makes the game seem so small!

PS. When watching this video, I was impressed that Vimeo automatically pauses what you're watching when you switch tabs (in Safari anway).

A Jedi's Best Friend

AT-AT day afternoon from Patrick Boivin on Vimeo.

There's some pretty amazing animation techniques in this video by Patrick Boivin. He states his motivations behind making the film as an unfilled desire as a kid to own a dog and an AT-AT walker! Head here to see how he made the film.

The USB Extension Lead

I like to have all sorts of peripherals connected to my computer at any one time...but not necessarily at the same time. I don't know about you, but I HATE that pause that happens when Windows/OSX figures out what you're plugging in. Cue the USB Extension Lead.
