Creepy or Cool? Nano-Quadrotors can Fly in Formation Aware of Other Members’ Locations
I think this is really cool. You can see where this kind of location awareness could be used in automobiles to prevent collisions (assuming you take the human out of the loop, ala I Robot). You can also look a little further down the road (depending on where our government heads), and see these things [...]
Stuff I Like: Guy Fieri Eating in Reverse
I’m a fan of Guy Fieri’s Diners, Drive-ins and Dives show. It’s not good for my weight, though, as I always end up hungry at around 11:30 at night. Conan presents an aspect of Triple D that you probably don’t need to see, and definitely don’t need to see twice: Guy Fieri, eating in reverse:

Stuff I Like: LG Blast Chiller
Here’s a refrigerator feature I’d love to have.

Stuff I Like: Camera Lost at Sea Returned to Owner via Social Media
A Canadian photographer on a diving trip found a camera at the bottom of Deep Bay in Vancouver.

Using social media (Google Plus; he mentioned that he [...]
Stuff I Like: Camera Simulator
I like taking photographs with my DSLR, but I’m often befuddled by the relationship between aperture, film speed, and shutter speed.
