Space Invader coffee table

ZAP_table_pattern_with_scale.jpg Sean Ragan writes:
This is a coffee table incorporating a tiled "space invaders" motif. Several years ago tiled space invader sprites began showing up as graffiti in major western cities--Paris, London, New York, etc. It may never be possible to accurately say who was really first, but the British graffiti collective at space-invaders.com has a well-established presence. "Space Invader," of course, is a clever double entendre in the graffiti context; as the subject of the graffiti is a videogame "space invader," so too is the medium of graffiti an invasion of space. My coffee table's not nearly that clever. It does achieve a nice contrast between sense and style through the use of handmade Mexican Talavera tiles. These tiles, like most handmade artifacts, are imprecise and show significant natural lumpiness and variation. The depiction of the precise, orderly, pixellated image of the space invader sprite would be boring if executed in precisely manufactured injection-molded bathroom tiles from the big orange store. The slightly uneven tile heights and lightly meandering grout lines lend a warmth to the image which would otherwise be lacking.

The New U.S.S. Enterprise

The New U.S.S. EnterpriseOr, the old one actually. But new to us in 2008. The above pic should get your geek juices flowing like Romulan ale at a Klingon orgy. The first look at J.J.’s Enterprise. It’s a mash-up of the classic and movie versions of the ship. It’s pretty sweet looking. JJ Abrams was struck by that scene in ST: The Motion Picture where Kirk takes a shuttlecraft to the ship and we get a nice long look that shows us all of the stunning detail, including many of the individual tiles that make up the hull. Apparently there will be a similar scene in the new flick. What do you guys think? You like?

Philips iPill is a smart pill with a brain

Philips iPill is a smart pill with a brainPhilips’ Intelligent Pill is basically a robotic capsule that can handle a bunch of advanced medical functions wile inside of you. For one thing, knowing it’s location in your body. It’s capable of measuring acidity and temperature in the stomach, figures out it’s position and knows whether or not it should release medicine in that spot. The device uses a microprocessor, wireless radio and battery, along with a pump and deposit for the drugs.

The idea is that since it can deliver drugs in the exact spot needed, less drugs are required and that means fewer side effects. According to researchers, the prototype is ready for mass production. And your stomach. Let’s hope it’s not smart enough to lay nano-eggs in you and reproduce.
