This draggable, zoomable map of NYC is made from old 8-bit NES elements. It is as awesome as it sounds. [ 8-Bit NYC via WAXY via Kottke ]
Minden idők egyik legidiótább kalandjátéka, a Secret of the Monkey Island (aminek a nimbuszához itthon a CoV #15-ben lement gigaleírás is hozzájárult) tavaly XXI. századi külsőt kapott: a Lucasarts teljesen újrarajzolt grafikát és utószinkront gyártott a kalandjáték-klasszikus különleges kiadásához, de a játékban egy gombnyomással át lehetett váltani az eredeti, 1990-es grafikára, ha a játékos m...
Artist and design Yoshi Akai ( no relation , as far as I know) treats analog electronics as an art form, a sculpture, an instrument, and an exercise in interaction design, all wrapped in the velour of vintage hardware design. For everyone who misses the deco elegance of meticulously-engraved surfaces and tastefully-appointed enclosures of early-century electronics, Yoshi’s work will be a special t...

A történet a II. világháborúban, Lengyelországban játszódik. Négy lengyel katona
és egy juhászkutya kalandjait követhetjük nyomon, amint egy T34-es tankban
eljutnak Lengyelországból Berlinig. Útjuk során gyakran magukra maradnak és nem
egyszer csak Gömböc kutya bátorsága és leleményessége húzza ki őket a bajból.

Gyermekkorom egyik jellemző jelenete: passzos rövidnadrágokban, kempingbicaj kormányára támaszkodva hunyorgunk hárman a nyolcvanas évek narancssárga nyarainak egyikében, kulcs persze a nyakba lógatva. Azt figyeljük, ahogy a kraz típusú szovjet teherautó nyergesvontatóján meghozza a lapraszerelt házat az épülő lakótelepre, közben találgatjuk, hogy vajon a nagyszoba, a kisszoba, netán a konyha fala ...

Today we’re throwing around overly cute floppy disc pillows, but tomorrow it will be DVD pillows, followed by Blu-ray pillows, then probably platter-based hard drive pillows, and so forth. You get the picture. I just wish these little guys (they’re just 7×7x3 inches in size) had matching VHS cassette and Laserdisc pillows so I could complete the set. $18 each from ShanaLog...
These Portrait series called Corporate Headshots by Robert Augspurger are so awesome! View more photos in his Flickr set .
Here’s a photograph of paparazzi taken back in 1932. Looks like some things never change (paparazzi), while others do (check out those beastly cameras!).

You’d never get a kit like this on the market today. Too many tiny, delicious pieces. Kids these days all want to know what an objective mirror tastes like; it’s almost like that rarest of delicacies, unicorn flank. But I digress, and this isn’t a cryptoculinary blog. This kit, from way back in 1977, actually let you assemble a real SLR (slightly smaller than standard, but still 35mm), and not j...
In 1989, VH1 gave away 36 vintage Corvettes in a contest. The winner sold those cars to artist Peter Max, who let them rot in a Brooklyn parking garage for twenty years. The cars recently disappeared. This is their story. Thanks to the smart work of Daniel McDermon over at the New York Times , we're finally piecing together a story that we had heard snippets of for years but never nailed down....
Pay attention, kids. This is a real computer. (Oh, yes, and if there weren’t already enough computing geek cred in this shot, check the Amiga developer poster on the wall.) Photo ( CC-BY ) Blake Patterson of ByteCellar.com .
