Whether you own a Hudl tablet or not, if you’re anything like Dan and Sharif, you’re keeping it real and doing your shopping at Tesco’s. Jamie, always the rebel, actually prefers the overpriced petrol station one on his corner. Amidst the other …

At long last, 3D printing has found its niche: providing replacement limbs — for ducks. Poor Dudley of K911 animal rescue service in Sicamous, Canada, lost his leg as a baby to a vicious attack from a chicken kept in the same pen. But now he can walk again, thanks to 3D printing.
The first iteration of Dudley's foot.

Unlike Buttercup the duck’s new foot, which was created using a 3D-printed mold to cast a limb in silicone, Dudley’s foot was a more elaborate affair.
It was created by Terence Loring of 3 Pillar Designs, a company that specializes in 3D-printing architectural prototypes. Loring heard of Dudley’s plight through a friend and — with Buttercup’s story undoubtedly echoing in his head — decided to see what he could do to help.
The first limb Loring designed has a jointed construction, and was fully 3D-printed in plastic by Proto3000 in Canada. When Dudley put it on, the limb broke and Dudley fell over, so Loring went back to the drawing board for a one-piece … [Read more]

Inexpensive, portable hardware for electronic music usually comes short on the features. A beginner 25-key MIDI keyboard, for example, isn’t going to get you very far towards making big music, even if it does fit in your backpack. Arturia’s new Beatstep is remarkable because manages to put both a software controller and an versatile sequencer in one portable package, all for $125.

Our gadgets are important to us. How we look, is also somewhat important to us. It’s only been in the last few years that being ‘nerdy’ has become a trend, as it certainly didn’t have a positive connotation beforehand. If you enjoy wearing your badge of geekery with pride, but still want to look somewhat professional, you have to dress yourself accordingly.
The Techslinger is not a bad idea, but not everyone is going to want to holster their iPad up against themselves and wear a harness to do it. Other than sounding like a cross between a technomage and a gunslinger, this could be a good way of carrying your tablet, phone, and a few other valuables around. However, you might be testing the line between trendy and actually nerdy.
These are made out of high-quality materials, and come in a variety of sizes and colors. You will need to wash it by hand sadly, which for some people is quite the deterrent. Depending on which size you get, this can cost you anywhere from $40-70. Seeing that this would take the place of your messenger bag or purse, it’s a fair price. However, you’ll have to enjoy the notion of strapping into your gear every morning, and getting plenty of weird looks as this almost seems more costume than functional. There are plenty of adjustable straps to get yourself fit in snugly, and everything is kept in place by a button snap strap.
