Their work looks like so much fun.

Hologram Google Earth is an amazing prototype computer display. Forget about multi-touch if this is a real display it will blow that away. Amazing video.

Phoenix panorama - The Planetary Society has an attempt at creating a panorama of the Phoenix images to date. Quite an amazing view, I wonder what the mountains in the background are.

code_swarm has several cool open source repository visualizations. An interesting way to show the history and participants.

Video displaying the new BMW concept car covered in cloth. I personally think it’s great. Most likely it’s considerably more energy efficient to produce, and I think it’s definitely more attractive. Perhaps some day we’ll see this.

Airduino Scungy Anemometer I’ve been a large fan (no pun intended) of this blog for a while. Although here Keith shows the true ingenuity and usefulness of knowing how to create and construct things like this. A great thorough explanation of ingenuity and reused components to keep oneself cool.

Scott Johnston has a project to take google earth data and run it though his CNC mill to produce a physical model of the geographic terrain. Brilliant idea, and very interesting.

I thought this a great little movie trying to explain what invisible magnetic fields might actually look like.

Bad Astronomy Blog/Best. Image. Ever. Here’s an image of the lander taken from the orbiter. This is so awesome . The coordination is so great that we can take a picture of one probe with another one. Chaulk up another great success for NASA. Now to wait for the science.

Phun - 2D physics sandbox. A research product, watch the youtube video. It’s fun to play with. It’s interface is simple, but can get very complicated depending on where you go with it.
