The Chronophage

Published by Brian under Cool, Geeky, Other Stuff

Yet another cool-geeky thing.   Sort of wraps LoTR in with steampunk to bring you the wickedest clock I’ve ever seen:

Not only is the mechanical execution of the clock spectacular, but the thought behind it is equally awesome/creepy:

Your life is being eaten away by time, second by second, and represented by the Chronophage eating away, bit by bit.   Oh yea, when it strikes the hour it sounds like chains falling into a coffin.

I want one.

Every once in a while I run across something, that even in my advanced state of uber-geekness, puts me in a state of awe.

Behold, the lego-robot that solves the Rubik’s Cube.

Cabling as an art

Published by Brian under Geeky, Networking

Any true geek is impressed by a neat cabling job.  There’s something about the order that results from equally banded cables in conjunction with blinking lights that makes the heart warm.Here are a few snapshots of the cleanest cabling jobs I’ve seen.  Compare that with what I thought was a nice cabling job (sorry for the poor quality, cell phone shot) from one of the Linux Fix racks, and I feel like a slob!
