7 Year Maze

maze-6

For 7 years, a diligent Japanese custodian worked on the maze you see above. Twitter user @Kya7y (and daughter of the artist) found the drawing recently and posted it for the world to see.  Apparently, it was completed almost 30 years ago in his spare time using some pen and ink on A1 size paper (841 x 594 mm).

What is maybe most impressive, however, is that the drawing was made with very little planning.

He simply drew the maze as it popped into his mind.

I hope this is sold as a print some day.

 I’ll hang it on my wall, and spend the next 7 years trying to solve it.

Surgeon Simulator 2013

February 1st, 2013 | Brain

Surgeon Simulator QWOPeration

Surgeon Simulator 2013 was created in less than 48 hours for the Global Game Jam last weekend, and it has since become an internet sensation.  YouTube user and “depressed chef” Robbaz hilariously demonstrates some of the gameplay in the video above.  The keyboard controls are based on the old track simulator QWOP, which is almost impossible to master.  Each finger of the surgeon’s hand is controlled individually by the player, and if that wasn’t hard enough, moving the arm and hand around require a completely different set of controls.

You can try it for yourself here.

I feel like a Surgeon Simulator would work really well on something like Kinect, but maybe it would be too easy.

 It has been known for quite some time now that people who regularly play video games tend to be better surgeons, or at least better robotic surgeons.  So mastering something like the Surgeon Simulator may not be a complete waste of time.

 Bossa Studios plans to release a longer version which may include features like “emergency surgery in the back of an ambulance; more procedures, such as a brain transplant; more tools; and achievements, like performing a heart transplant using only a shard of glass.”

Rise of the Drones

January 26th, 2013 | Robot

Rise of the Drones

Missy Cummings recently appeared on The Daily Show with John Stewart to discuss the Rise of the Drones. She is a former fighter pilot and current professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT and has some of the best insight on Drone technology in the world.

Drones like the MQ-1 Predator Drone pictured above have been operational for about 10 years and their Hellfire missiles have killed thousands of insurgents in Afghanistan, Libya, Somalia, Pakistan, and Iraq. Obviously, this technology brings fear into the hearts of the general public, and I think Missy Cummings delivers some salient points on the topic. Drones will only become more and more prevalent both at home and abroad.  They’re cheaper and more reliable than any manned aircraft and they don’t risk the pilot’s life to fly.  The U.S. military now trains more remote pilots than fighter and bomber pilots combined.  The training takes about half as much time and anyone who can play video games can control them reliably.

But drones are not perfect, and 23 civilians were mistakenly killed in Afghanistan back in 2010 in one of the biggest military blunders in quite some time.

And this technology is no secret.  If you’re looking to build your own drone, here are the instructions from DIY Drones.  Please don’t arm yours with a hellfire missile.

“The Land of Giants” – Power Line Design

January 25th, 2013 | Robot, Space

The Land of Giants 1

I recommend you listen to Sigur Rós while reading this post.  Ok, please continue.

“The Land of Giants” is a concept from architecture & design firm Choi+Shine. It was proposed back in 2008 to grace the pristine Icelandic countryside, but unfortunately, the structures were never built.  Iceland is on the top of my list for future eco-travel destinations.  It’s an untouched land of hot springs, spurting geysers, glaciers and waterfalls, and these giant structures would be the perfect complement to the ghostly landscape which has been featured in movies such as Prometheus.

From the architects:

“Like the statues of Easter Island, it is envisioned that these one hundred and fifty foot tall, modern caryatids will take on a quiet authority, belonging to their landscape yet serving the people, silently transporting electricity across all terrain, day and night, sunshine or snow.”

I was amazed to find out that this design didn’t even win the competition… My only guess is that the judges were not ready for such a bold concept.  But the time is now!

The Moon Hoax Debunked

Moon Hoax Debunked

This is one of the clearest examples of a Moon Hoax debunking on the web right now.  Basically, it boils down to limitations of the video technology at the time.
