Cubecraft – Download, Print, Cut, Fold

Diego — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 05:17:18 +0000

Cubecraft allows you to print out your favorite characters such as Mario, Kirby, Obama, StormTrooper, MegaMan, Bender, Indiana Jones, and others so you can cut them and fold them up! There are new ones being posted up every week alongside with limited edition cube crafts that cease to exist after a period of time. So go check it out before you realize your favorite character is taken off from Cubecraft.

Cubecraft – Simply download, print, cut, and fold!

Are you ready? Simply head over to Cubecraft and fold away to your favorite character! All characters are distinguished by a scissor rating. The more scissors it contains, the more difficult it is. There are about a hundred characters or more, so you are bound to find something you like.

Cubecraft doesn’t require any special skill or tools. All you need is patience, scissors, and if possible a hobby knife (of course, after you print it out, the thicker the paper the better).

I decided to make Kirby since it seemed to be the simplest one and I also since I love the character. It took me approximately 7-10 minutes to complete. So it wasn’t bad. It did bring back memories of playing Kirby SuperStar on the SNES (which was an awesome game imo).

A representation of the actual printout is below as well as my own creation.

Show us your Cubecraft!

Photosynth – Create theatrical immersive experience with photos

Diego — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 01:55:34 +0000

Photosynth not only lets you share a photo, it lets you share multiple photos in order to create a fantastic 3d experience. Visit Pennsylvania, Venice, St. Petersburg, or your friends dorm room with more than a simple flat experience. With the scenes Photosynth creates, you can explore the scene in a way you’ve never done before.

How does Photosynth work?

Photosynth has the ability to reconstruct a a scene from multiple photographs with the help from the field of computer vision. It constructs the scenary examining the similarities of objects and shapes in the photographs to create an immersive experience.

Upon installing the plugin (8mb) for your browser, you are greeted with a picture and a navigation panel. Simply click either left, right, up, or down and you’ll be taken to the next picture in scene. It doesn’t take a long time to load so it feels you are having a virtual tour. A description is to the right of the picture so you’ll know a little more about the scene.

A dorm room

Look at a dorm room…since its a small environment, you’ll understand why Photosynth is so great.

Can you run that PC Game?

Diego — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 16:59:14 +0000

Before buying a PC game you must be asking yourself, can I run this? Looking at the System Requirements is sometimes not enough. Or simply, you don’t know what your computer has. Can You Run it? provided by System Requirements Lab allows you to find out whether or not any specific PC game would run on your PC.

So, can you really run it?

After selecting a game, the browser requirement will be installed with your permission. It will then gather information from your PCs hardware and software. It will then give you a nice detailed analysis rating your computer. It also offers suggestions if you failed some of the requirements. I tried Crysis, and here are the results.

They even provided me with a link to update my video card drivers! This is a great resource for those wondering if there system can handle that PC game.

Pandora Radio – Listen to free internet radio

Diego — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 15:20:41 +0000

Pandora lets you listen to free internet radio as well as discover new music based on your tastes. I personally listen to it at work since it lets me discover new songs and artists based on my preferences.

How does Pandora Work?

Pandora was meant to be a Music Genome Project created by several musicians to deeply analyze music. They went on by analyzing different traits of a song by the instruments played, tempo, rhythm, melody, and more. They did this for many genres and hundreds of songs as well which makes up for their huge library of songs. Source

What does Pandora offer?

Pandora allows you to tune in to a station by typing in your favorite song or artist. Pandora will then most likely display a song from that artist or the song you chose itself. You may either give songs a positive, negative, or no feedback at all. You may even Pause, Play, or Skip the song. Based on your preferences, you’ll be receiving songs based on your taste.

You can also view more information about the artists, purchase the song on Amazon or iTunes, search other stations, go mobile, enjoy their video series and more!

You may register an account to keep track of all the “stations” you create, your music preference, and the songs and artists you either give negative or positive feedback in your own profile. You may also bookmark the songs or artists. Registration is free and takes less than two minutes!

You can also share music with friends, find new ones, and discover what other people are listening to.

Pandora for the iPhone

Yes, Pandora may even be on your iPhone! Check it out at Pandora. It’s becoming an emerging and leading application.

So what are you waiting for?

Go try Pandora out! It doesn’t cost a thing. Have a different method of finding new music? Post it below!
