Yikes. It seems like we've been sorely neglecting our Wednesday Cool Link duties over the past month. Let's fix that, shall we? Here's our latest selection of neat-o internet thingers.

Tom Sachs' Firearm... Things Yana pointed out this interesting mixed media artwork gunwork firearmwork thingwork. It's not actually functional, but it's a neat example of what you can accomplish by combining some generic hardware objects. There's also a nifty pistol. |

Calgary Comic Expo - Electromagnetic Ferrofluid Window Ferrofluid is a magnetic liquid, suspended in non-magnetic fluid. Apply a magnet, and it'll move around in all sorts of hypnotizing ways. Click through to this post and check out some of the videos to see it in action. Some of them show it combined with the Zendulum, which makes it look... Oddly sentient. |

Netduino!
Not just another *uino clone, as this uses a 32-bit Atmel AT91SAM7X ARM microcontroller. Sure, it uses the same form factor (well, except for the breadboard-friendly mini version), but the Netduino uses the .NET micro framework. What's that mean? Well, you're using a hugely more capable microcontroller (8-bit vs 32 bit), with much more memory […]
