Now this would not be that geeky if you would not be able to download models like Stormtroopers, the Master Chief, Kirby, NIN – Ghosts I-IV (!) or Mario. Each model is designed to fit on a standard piece of A4 letter paper and nothing is keeping you from creating your own army of Stormtroopers, Iron Mans or Batmans.

“Each toy features interlocking tabs for construction – eliminating the need for tape, glue or other messy adhesives. To download click on the model you would like then save the template image.”

Cutting the pieces correctly seems to be the biggest task in creating the Papercraft Toys. I think it’s a great idea that guarantees lots of fun. But, where’s Darth Vader and Boba Fett ?

If you do not have a girlfriend yet you probably dislike sleeping alone. While it definitely has some advantages most people prefer the historical two humans per bed approach. If you are one human short you can instead try the virtual approach which adds a virtual girlfriend to your bed that responds to your reactions.

If you lie on the back for example she snuggles up next to you, lie on the side and the spoons on you. The only difficulty so far is that she only exists in 2D which means that you cannot feel her at all.

INBED is what Drew Burrows called his invention which makes use of infrared sensors. I’m not sure if his invention will be that successful because it lacks the somatic sensation..

I loved that movie when I saw it and I still do. It even made me ignore my lack of talent and draw (yes, on a real paper, using my very own clumsy hands!) a picture, which is fairly untypical of me and hardly ever found in my regular schedule. Having had my own computer out of order for some time now, I had lots of time to spend on a homework we got in school – writing an English essay that would resemble a classic fairy-tale.

I meant it to be inspired by the movie from the very beginning but still wanted to make it somehow original. Then I got a few ideas on how to adapt the basic story to the IT environment and internet culture and thought that those ideas weren’t that bad after all. After one whole afternoon spent on writing (again, on a real paper instead of word processor canvas), I came up with something that may not be exactly called “art” but I still liked it myself and wanted to share it with the web community. Though, I do recommend watching the movie first, if possible.. no, I’m not adding a torrent link here.

If you happen to like it, I’d appreciate another digg.

Here is the movie that shows the clock.

Update: the original movie is no longer available, and we had to search for a copy of it on the Internet. After some searching we found the clock on YouTube, and you find the video link embedded below. You may want to turn down the music as it may not be your taste at all.

A lot of activity is going on at the same time, which may be to much for some users who may prefer a simpler clock. The concept of the clock on the other hand is interesting, and die hard Pong fans looking for a new clock may like the idea of hanging it up in their homes.

The clock’s designer, Sander Mulder, released a limited edition of the clock which sold out in one day. You may sometimes see one of those rare clocks for auction on eBay.

You can also check out this WordPress site which details how you can build your own Pong clock. The description includes the parts list needed, and explains every step of the process with pictures and text. It is still fairly technical, and users who never build an electronic device before may run into a world of troubles trying to build the pong clock.

One suggestion would be to ask a friend, or to hire someone to build the clock for you. While this surely drives the price up, you can be sure that you do not get shocked to death plugging it in for the first time.
