I just love this… Based on the classic 23rd century design, the electronic Tricorder features silver highlights over a black finish, as well as light and sound effects taken from the classic Star Trek series. Also included is the removable scanner accessory – perfect for your next “away mission”! A real collector’s piece coming soon to Entertainment Earth!

Lukworth Links! April 30th, 2008

April 30, 2008 :: Posted by - Patrick James :: Category - Lukworth Links!

Take a trip over to Eoin Purcell’s post on Google Docs Offline (with gears)… It’s one blog I’ve been enjoying reading lately. Also reading reading another great blog with a great name: L-Plate Author.

Meanwhile, The Written one discusses Documentary Series – The City Wild.

Once again, Tom Raftery has made a great little “eco-tech” find with this one! Check out the news on the new eco-friendly browser on Lower (Carbon) Footprint… I’ve been playing around with this for the last day or two and it seems quite good with a couple of nice features.

Critical Mass has some interesting Dark Knight pics – check ‘em out!

Daniel Aguilar is making the change on Let’s Grow Green and for another Green must-read check out Global Exchange Fair Trade Store Blog.

This unbelievable video originally posted on BLOG.PMARCA.COM, fascinates me and also scares the heck out of me… has all the potential of one too many dark-sci-fis – but a lot positive possibilities at the same time!

Holographic person – The future has been born!

April 25, 2008 :: Posted by - Patrick James :: Category - Techno'

Remember the holographic doctor from Star Trek Voyager? Many futuristic technologies from S.T. and other sci-fiction has become reality… the latest is a life size hologram. It’s an early prototype but the interactive hologram is controlled with gestures, allowing you to adjust what you see by pointing and moving your arm. The potential for this new technology is endless – Holograms could be used as receptionists, presenters, augmented reality objects, virtual meeting and one day visualizing your Facebook friends right in the middle of your living room, real size!
