Chalkboard Laptop

Here is a coll customized MacBook Pro Laptop that has been coated with chalkboard paint on the top side to allow chalk note taking while sipping on a cup of coffee. Kinda cool but also kinda weird. Hope you enjoy it. Made by some dude named Russell Davies and he's apparently named it the BlackBoardPro. Click the link below for his blog entry on it.Link

The Zigura Brothers from the Ukraine are sand sculptors that have quite a bit of talent. Check out their webpage for more of these interesting sand sculpted creations.
(This sculpture is kinda weird. Yoda seems really at home there on Vader's lap and R2D2 seems way too interested in Vader's butt...)

NYU Virtual Girlfriend

28 year old NYU student, Drew Burrows, has created an interesting piece of art which can be seen as "creepy" or perhaps "sad" by most. He has created a "virtual girlfriend" that is projected onto the bed next to him. The program that runs the projection responds to various movements that it picks up from infrared sensors in order to allow the projected "girlfriend" to respond accordingly. While the item is mainly a piece of art meant to showcase his technical abilities, Burrows admits that it is "So nice if you're tired and worn out to have someone to curl up with."
