What kids do with MySpace
This video is a compilation of pictures that have appeared on MySpace. It’s a bit disturbing – and probably not safe to watch at work.

Please, be careful what you post on the Internet.

NES Light Gun – Alarm clock
A London Geek has hard-wired a vintage NES lightgun to his alarm clock in what could be described as a pretty fun gadget – or piece of art. I like the idea of popping a cap in my alarm clock each morning with anything but a 12-gauge shotgun:

These two devices are hard-wired so the time and the alarm of the Sony clock can be set up firing with the light gun. See the “hard-wired functionalities” below to know how it works. This piece in particular has been featured in the magazine Artinvestor dec. 2005 (special issue on Game Art). (more)
