Beer might come with some pretty brotastic connotations, but as with everything else in life, it’s the nerds who really do it right. Because when the same passion that gave us NASA and Lord of the Rings is applied to booze, the results are phenomenal, delicious, and (most importantly) geeky as hell.
If you pre-ordered the Virtuix Omni virtual-reality treadmill, it’s time to start rearranging the living room furniture. Early backers will be able to strap on their Oculus Rift and start shooting in the virtual battlefield of their choice come July….
As a former user of the Atari 800XL, I find the Commodore line to be piffle at best but I’ll become a bit more catholic in my support of decades-old hardware and tell you a bit about the Commodore Pi, a wacky emulator that turns your Raspberry Pi into a real, multi-tasking Commodore. Read More

Robots are really expensive and hard to build. Two MIT scientists want to change all that with inkjet printers and techniques borrowed from origami.
When you hear about or see designs that can really help people lead fuller lives, you want them available – now! That’s how MIT’s FingerReader
hit me. Well, I said, to no one in particular, if you can prototype it,
get it done, roll it out, let people who are blind or visually impaired

Blicko, a Kickstarter project at the moment, happens to be a music playback system that can be accessed with a URL on virtually any device, making it a great way for you to enjoy your music in a social experience unlike any other. How does Blicko’s URL system work exactly? It ain’t too difficult, where those around it will use their smartphones to navigate to a certain URL address, where the users on two of the smartphones will then search and queue some songs, where the queue will then be populated on a third handset that also connects to the same URL.

Blicko Offers A Social Music Experience Unlike Any Other original content from Ubergizmo.
