Rare Pennies You Should Hold Onto... Including The 1943 Penny ...

bust-dimes-public-domain-photo.jpg The dime has been an integral part of commerce since the 1790s, when the dime was first created for use in the United States.

30 December, 2010 - A Blizzard and a Video DSLR

The Luminous Landscape

What did talented cinematographer Jamie Stuart and a video DSLR produce in a single evening? Have a look at this three and a half minute video on YouTube titled Idiot with a Tripod.

I point this out because it illustrates what someone with a consumer camera, passion and talent can produce with no budget and in a short period of time.

Film critic Robert Ebert said that the film deserved to win the Academy Award for best live-action short.

What are you doing with your video capable DSLR?

Geeky Gadgets - Gadgets, Geek Gadgets, Cool Gadgets, Technology ...

Amazon has now enabled a Kindle book lending service that allows eligible Kindle books to be lent to friends and family for up to 14 days, and the borrower doesn’t need to own a Kindle reading device.

So its now possible to pass on that great book you have finished, thats just stilling in your digital library, but be aware once the book is lent you will not be able to read the book yourself during the loan period.

Not all books will be available for the lending service, but any Kindle book titles that are eligible for lending, are determined by the publisher or rights holder, and will have a message on the product detail page, as shown in the image below:

Amazon Kindle Lending

Be aware that currently, the Kindle book lending can only be initiated by customers residing in the United States and if a loan is initiated to a customer outside the United States: “the borrower may not be able to accept the loan if the title is not available in their country due to publisher geographical rights”.

For more information on the new service visit the Amazon Kindle Lending help page.

Behold The Thousand Core Processor

This is really cool. Is there no end to this? 

Geeky Gadgets - Gadgets, Geek Gadgets, Cool Gadgets, Technology ...

These days, every lab and company (IBM, Intel) with enough dough is striving for the ultimate in processing power. The geniuses at the University of Glasgow are no different. Their thousand core CPU prototype has just leaked in the press and has caused quite a stir.

1K Processor

The team of researches doing the grunt work are led by Dr. Wim Vanderbauwhede and what they just managed to pull off involved FPGAs. The Field Programmable Gate Array are microchips that contain multiple transistors. But instead of having the transistors set by the manufacturer, Vanderbauwhede and his team did the individual configurations themselves, effectively multiplying the CPUs power. Hence, a 1,000 core CPU.

Here’s extra explanation from the good Dr. Vanderbauwhede:

“This is very early proof-of-concept work where we’re trying to demonstrate a convenient way to program FPGAs so that their potential to provide very fast processing power could be used much more widely in future computing and electronics.

While many existing technologies currently make use of FPGAs, including plasma and LCD televisions and computer network routers, their use in standard desk-top computers is limited. However, we are already seeing some microchips which combine traditional CPUs with FPGA chips being announced by developers, including Intel and ARM.

I believe these kinds of processors will only become more common and help to speed up computers even further over the next few years.”

No, you can’t buy one right now or next year, for that matter. But these super-CPUs are coming soon. Really soon. (Like four years soon—our estimate.)

New Nikon Patents Lens That Can Zoom And Refocus Simultaneously

Geeky Gadgets - Gadgets, Geek Gadgets, Cool Gadgets, Technology ...

When capturing HD video using a DSLR camera the lens on the camera is currently the weakest link as it doesn’t allow for both zooming and focusing simultaneously.

Nikon are now looking to change this and have filed a patent in Japan for a new lens zoom design that allows it to be controlled manually and through a zoom button on the camera body if required.

Nikon Patent

The patent describes a single lens that is capable of being zoomed by hand in manual mode or automatically in its movie and video making mode, while simultaneously refocusing.

Its alos rumoured that this new technology might be incorporated in to Nikon’s new mirrorless camera. Either way I am confident Nikon will not wait long to bring this new technology to market.

Wall Hook Camcorder Is Custom Made For Obsessive Paranoiacs

Geeky Gadgets - Gadgets, Geek Gadgets, Cool Gadgets, Technology ...

Are you the obsessive type possessed by a disturbing urge to secretly observe those around you? Suspicious of your relatives during the holidays? Want to catch Santa in the act of plopping down his gifts next Christmas? Then maybe this $37 wall hook-cum-camcorder is an essential investment.

Wall Hook Recorder

Of course, if you cherish outward appearances, it’s best not to let the neighbors and a few other know you’re packing a spy cam cos that would creep people out. Another reason we can think of for buying this is for apprehending those midnight kitchen raiders who attack the leftovers when everyone else is asleep.

This USB-charged gadget is activated by a motion sensor that can take color shots and audio, saving them unto a Micro SDHC card whose content is uploaded via USB on a computer.  Other important numbers to know are the tiny built-in camera’s 640×480 resolution (it’s hard to tell where it is by just looking at the pic, right?) and in case there’s no PC to charge this on, there’s a universal charging adaptor thrown in the package upon purchase.

The video format of its content is AVI mand the camera takes 28 frames per second.  Of course, it wouldn’t be a stretch to assume certain voyeurs with an anti-social bent are going to drool over this new toy.

Try This Carbon Fiber Toilet Seat For That Space Odyssey Feel

Geeky Gadgets - Gadgets, Geek Gadgets, Cool Gadgets, Technology ...

Here are the numbers: a 2×2 twill pattern on its surface, 550,000 psi tensile carbon fiber, a mere 2 lbs in weight. If you thought only astronauts could ride a seat like this, you’re wrong!

Carbon Fiber Toilet Seat

For the ultimate in endurance, comfort, and performance—being a cushion for your sitting muscle while doing yer business—nothing compares this carbon fiber seat from carbon fiber retailers Carbon Fiber Gear. Simply put, it beats most comers (meaning plastic toilet seats), by light years.

We’re also thinking it’s comfortable to actually sit on this one. Not only because it’s lightweight, but there’s a foam cushion underneath the outer cover. Due to the material, expect this to last long. Very long, in fact. Where most toilet seats break, get dislodged, and crack (from pressure), this won’t. It’s the Chuck Norris of its kind.

Unfortunately the upper-end stuff of the toilet fixtures scale don’t come cheap. One of these will set you back $279.

Update: Despite the priceyness, this baby’s out of stock. Yes, a lot of people are willing to pay good money for that Space Odyssey feel.

Knock, knock? Who on earth is there?

Whitterer on Autism

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c7/Jokelopedia.JPG

Like every other parent on the planet we trudge along the treadmill in a relentless quest for growth and development.   But for more than a couple of years we’ve also been pursuing an interest in telling jokes as someone has ambitions to be a stand-up comedian.

Sadly there are so many lessons to learn along the way: timing, delivery, audibility, diction, intonation, volume control and not falling on the fall in hysterics before the punch-line.

Generally our whole family favors knock, knock and elephant jokes but occasionally we branch out into other areas.  A birthday present gives us the opportunity to analyze even more aspects of this skill set but it is also the source of great frustration.

Gradually over a two-week period we achieve amazing progress, culminating in a small surprise for the world weary parent.

It is just after I have spent far too long modeling examples of what not to do that I have one last attempt at an up-beat demonstration of ‘how to.’

I ask him in fully operationally cheerleader mode, “What’s black and white and read all over?”

Three New Toyota Prius Models to Debut at Detroit Auto Show

Car Reviews - 2010 Car Reviews at CARandDRIVER.com - Car Buying ...

As we expected, Toyota will use the 2011 Detroit auto show to take the wraps off new variants of the Prius hybrid. The debuts comprise the plug-in version of the current Prius, a concept vehicle of undisclosed type, and what Toyota characterizes as an “addition to the Prius family.”

We suspect the latter vehicle is the MPV teased by Toyota and seen in our spy photos. Further proof comes at the end of this Toyota video, in which skateboarder Bob Burnquist opens the spacious rear hatch of an unnamed Toyota, claims it offers 50 percent more cargo room than the existing Prius, and promises it will arrive at the Detroit show. A Prius mini-minivan should be around the size of a Mazda 5 or Toyota Matrix, and will likely employ an uprated version of the current car’s hybrid powertrain.

Toyota offers no additional information about the promised concept vehicle, but it could be a coupe model. In addition to the existing five-door hatch and promised five-door MPV, a sporty (visually, at least) Prius would expand the brand into an entirely new area. If a Prius coupe is indeed in the cards, it would compete with Honda’s new CR-Z hybrid.

We’ll bring you full information from the Detroit show in January, so stay tuned.
