Gameboy Micro

Filed under: All, Tech, Games, Toys, Product, Accessories

The original Game Boy(R) Advance fits comfortably into the pocket of a backpack. The retooled Game Boy(R) Advance SP fits into a coat pocket. Now Nintendo takes aim at the pocket of your tightest jeans with the tiny Game Boy(R) Micro system, quite simply the smallest and sleekest Game Boy(R) product that Nintendo has ever created.

The sporty, silver metal Game Boy Micro measures a mere 4 inches wide,
2 inches tall and 0.7 inches deep, allowing it to sit comfortably alongside
today’s hippest technological gadgets. It weighs an astonishing 2.8 ounces, or about the weight of 80 paper clips. Yet Game Boy Micro has the same processing power and plays the same games as Game Boy Advance SP models.

DNA Hacking

By philliptorrone

Images-1
DNA Hack is website for Amateur Genetic Engineering. The site has tons
of resources, supplies, how-tos and this interesting snippet from
Michael Schrage in the June 2003 Technology Review: “Maybe
bathtub biotech will be the next to capture the mindshare of the techie
tinkerers. Maybe bioinformatics and the diffusion of genetic
engineering technologies will inspire a new generation of bio-hackers.
Certainly the technologies are there for those inclinded to genetically
edit their plants or pets. Maybe a mouse or E. coli genome becomes the
next operating system for hobbyists to profitably twiddle. Perhaps this
decade will bring a Linus Torvalds or Bill Gates of bio-hackerdom — a
hobbyist-turned-entrepreneur who can simultaneously innovate and market
his or her DNA-driven ideas.” Link.

Matson Jones


Matson Jones

With an unusual lineup of two cellos, an upright bass and a drummer, Matson Jones plays quirky, dark indie rock that the band has described as “orchestral art pop.” The stylish, arty Fort Collins quartet is appropriately named after an obscure reference to 20th century painters Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg.

Band Members: Anna Mascorella - cello, vocals, Martina Grbac - cello, vocals, Matt Regan - upright bass, Ross Harada - drums

Mount Sims


Mount Sims

Los Angeles’s Mount Sims, AKA Matt Sims,
wraps together the quite disparate aspects of his life to create his
offerings to the glamour, sex, and drum machine-obsessed electro scene.

Preaching “technosexuality,” Mount Sims claims Giorgio Moroder, Depeche Mode,
and Curtis Mayfield as influences, but the artist’s penchant for public
nudity and fondness for the teachings of Eros indicate inspirations drawn
from less musical roots. Like New York’s Fischerspooner, Mount Sims plays gigs that are as much performance art as they are music shows. Mount Sims

is equally at
home droning lyrics over layers of loops and dense synth washes as he
is providing the soundtrack to a modern dance piece or avant-now
fashion show.

I Am X



With Becoming X, Sneaker Pimps changed the course of American pop music. Five years later, Sneaker Pimps founder Chris Corner aka I AM X embarks on a solo journey to showcase his exceptional production and songwriting talent.

Kiss + Swallow is really all about songs: dark, futuristic ones expressed in an electronic environment. From “Kiss and Swallow”, an upbeat radio anthem, to the 80’s influenced “Heatwave” or the end of days “White Suburb Impressionism”, the album swings moods flawlessly and captures the listener.

This is an electro-pop masterpiece, owing as much to the contemporary electronic productions of Berlin and Detroit as to the pop of Prince or Cabaret Voltaire. Chris Corner’s voice is the unifying thread, at times similar to the howlings of Cabaret Voltaire, always with the emotional clarity of Curtis Mayfield.
