If I could choose a super power, I would pick the ability to erase people's memory. And lucky for me, I've just been granted a free wish from The Magic Taco. Get ready, everyone. Pew! Done! Whew, now we never have to write a new post again. Check out these "new" links we prepared for you today:

Fans wear cosplay, superhero and manga costumes at London Comic Con 2012
Although the time of dressing up is almost a month away, these look darn cool. Save the ideas for next year!
Vanishing Spirits: The Beautiful Dried Remains of Single-Malt Scotch by Ernie Button

One of Mark Tilden's original ideas for "survivable robots" was for this built for the purpose of detonating landmines. This solution, albeit only wind-driven, is pretty clever and inexpensive.
Iris Camera Concept Shoots Just What You See
This is a prototype of a camera that uses biometric iris tracking to control the frame and capture photographs. Just double blink to snap a photo! Then, insert a USB stick into your nostril to transfer files, press bellybutton to activate WiFi... Hm, that might be a bit much...

Skittles sorting machine sorts Skittles, keeps the band happy
Never put your teeth on a brown Skittle again!  If you're like Van Halen, we have a solution for you that uses a TAOS RGB color sensor to sort this rainbow jumble into neat piles, for no particular reason at all.

If I could choose a super power, I would pick the ability to erase people's memory... Wait, was that a mirror in front of me? Woops.

Cool Link Wednesday: Yana Edition

About a million years ago (and by that, we mean 3-4) we had a crazy French intern called Jerome. He had a squiggly beard and liked to exclaim "SUPER COOL!" whenever he saw anything that caught his attention. But because he came up with neat stuff like the BeetleBot, we let him stick around. Even […]
