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
These are not the planetary hallucinations you will get after consuming large amounts of single-malt scotch.

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...

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.

Make was a blast... but now onto the Hol...

Wow, has it been that long already? The MAKEr Faire in Austin was beautiful, and interesting. Funny how we saw many Texans driving along with their windows up, while us two Canadians were wearing shorts with the top down on our rental. Interesting how people adjust to different climates! The MAKEr Faire wasn't quite as […]
