- Electric guitar that sounds like a harmonica - Electro-harmonix demonstrates some of the very distinct sounds that their pedals can be used to emulate. This is an awesome sounding guitar.
- Apple’s App Store hyperwall - Forget the new iPhone, this is what it’s about. At the WWDC this week Apple had a video wall of their cinema displays that showed the icons of all the apps in their App Store, which pulsated and rippled in real time corresponding to the number of users downloading them. Pics and video.
- Heartless (In A Bottle) - The Fray (Covering Kanye West), Black Eyed Peas, Police, 2Pac - Tired of mash-ups? Me too. But this one is worth it. DJ Earworm did a good job, despite having a ridiculous moniker.
- The photography of Dustin Diaz - If I had a shred of photographic talent, I’d take photos like this guy. They’re drenched in cinematic goodness and he cranks up the bokeh on most shots. I love it. Bonus: most shots he posts the Strobist (lighting/setup) info to see behind the scenes.
- Project Natal for XBOX 360 - I’m going to assume everyone and their grandmothers have seen this already, but it’s worth posting anyway. At this month’s E3 conference, Microsoft unveiled it’s version of controller-less videogaming. They one-up the Wii by using full body scanning so you don’t need any input device whatsoever to control players. The demo video looks kinda fake, but they demoed it on Jimmy Fallon and it’s apparently legit. Neat idea.

Did You Know?
Showing my age
I apparently inherited my father's hair genes. I started sprouting silver hairs around age nine. By this point, each time I get my hair cut my stylist has learned to just stop suggesting that I dye my hair. I'll be almost entirely silver any year now.
And it's silver. Not grey. OK?
