If you’re not familiar with Monome , the company designs and builds unique, minimalist controllers in limited editions for the discriminating music maker with deep pockets. The company’s latest, Arc, features two anodized milled aluminum knobs, an enclosure made of black walnut (sustainably harvested in central Pennsylvania, of course), lead free printed circuit boards and circuitry, a felt slip mat made from wool purchased from small farms in the US, and — well, that’s pretty much it. Hand assembled on a farm in upstate New York, this device sends OSC data to a computer via USB. Each knob is circled by a ring of 64 LEDs, and each knob can be configured for whatever your musician’s heart desires. On the video (after the break) it is paired with a Series Sixty Four controller to make a sample looper. Looks like fun! Too bad it costs more than our rent for the month. Available on February 18 in two knob ($500) and four knob ($800) configurations.

A man in Canada was able capture some pretty amazing footage as a semi truck careened out of control, nearly ramming into his car and others. The man had installed a “dash cam” on his car after gotten into an earlier accident, and it caught all the action as it unfolded on a snow-dusted freeway.

January 24, 2011 No Comment
Classic gaming on the go is more or less old-hat for many smartphone platforms, but Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 is still playing catch-up. Latest addition is this Game Boy emulator, running in Silverlight courtesy of Samuel Blanchard, who created the video below and then triple-letterboxed it for your squinting pleasure. Right now it is still a work in progress, unable to save your in-game progress and needing some further polish, but it certainly looks like it runs well enough — though hopefully he gets that aspect ratio fixed before offering this up for download.

I gotta tell you, when Wiz came out with “Black & Yellow” I thought, wow, good marketing move, but maybe he should have waited until next season, what with the Roethlisberger suspension and all that. I figured this was going to be a lost season for the Steelers, but man was I wrong.

First they were little , then they added touchability , now Holocube’s holograms in a box are going big time — in that the company’s latest model is physically much larger than the others. It’s the HC70, a new version with a 70-inch transparent screen that can be viewed from both sides. It’s powered by a Windows 7 Embedded machine with 40GB of flash storage from which it can loop between eight and 18 hours of video, displayed via 1080p projector. You can see it in action below showing a… slightly mesmerizing collection of random bits of footage. Let us know if you can find the hidden meaning.

This won’t be the first (or by any means last) video you’ll see the Xperia Arc starring in, but it is the most comprehensive look we’ve had so far at this finely crafted Android Gingerbread handset. The guys over at HDBlog.it have somehow sourced both the silver and black variants of Sony Ericsson’s upcoming 4.2-incher and they’ve given the pair a nice and thorough video overview. They happily report that Timescape and Mediascape, Sony Ericsson’s pervasive features in the earlier X10 , have been scaled down to mere widgets, making them “far less intrusive” and resulting in the rest of the UI being “faster and easier to use.” Make the leap past the break to get the full dish on SE’s latest and greatest.
