Aprica Marshmallow J-Turn

Aprica Marshmallow J-Turn 08/19/2004 03:13 PM

When I say "Marshmallow J-Turn," two things should instantly spring to mind. "Oh, a Japanese product," should be the first, and "Whaaaaa?" For once, though, the product name almost makes sense: the Aprica Marshmallow J-Turn is a hyper-padded, 5-point-harness baby immobilizer that masquerades as a car seat. It seems that Japanese babies have skulls particularly sensitive to thumps and impacts - at least if you take Aprica's word for it.

If you want to pretend your newborn is the nougaty center of a foam-covered safety bundle (and you can figure out someone who is importing them) the Aprica Marshmallow J-Turn 838 Thermo-Mamoru Sp02 will set you back a cool grand.

measurator 05/05/2004 02:48 AM
This physics HOWTO explains a technique for verifying ht espeed of light using a microwave oven and a bunch of marshmallows.

[P]ut the dish of marshmallows in the microwave and cook on low heat. Microwaves do not cook evenly and the marshmallows will begin to melt at the hottest spots in the microwave. (I leaned this from our Food Science teacher Anita Cornwall.) Heat the marshmallows until they begin to melt in four or five different spots. Remove the dish from the microwave and observe the melted spots. Take the ruler and measure the distance between the melted spots. You will find that one distance repeats over and over. This distance will correspond to half the wavelength of the microwave, about 6 cm. Now turn the oven around and look for a small sign that gives you the frequency of the microwave. Most commercial microwaves operate at 2450 MHz.

All you do now is multiply the frequency by the wavelength. The product is the speed of light.

Down with my Peeps 04/10/2004 11:04 PM
Online gallery of Easter-themed diorama art created with Marshmallow Peeps. What are Peeps? Well, the Washington Post says they're "the chick-and-bunny-shaped marshmallow treats that have become America's best-loved harbingers of the season". You might call these images of winning art contest entries -- yes, yes -- a PEEP show. Huhhuhhuh. I think my favorite is this Mel Gibson homage, The Passion of the Peeps.

Snip from the show review:

"Another religious entry could be described as Memorable Moments in Marshmallow Martyrdom. Created by two Catholic school girls, it depicted four saint scenes, including John the Baptist beheaded, Joan of Arc being burned at the stake, St. Peter crucified upside down on Pop-sicle sticks and St. Stephen being stoned to death by jelly beans."

Here's Dan's comments after the launch party of his new book "We, the Media". NOTE: I got to bring my twins Aron and Jacob to the party. That was fun showing them off.

Here's Dan's post....

J.D. Lasica and Brian Dear were among the folks who came to last night's gathering celebrating the book launch and the relocation of Creative Commons to its new offices in San Francisco. I was honored by the presence of so many fine folks.

The book was published under a Creative Commons license, permitting non-commercial use of the material as long as people give it proper attribution and add their "remixes" back into the world under a similar license. (The book will be online in full very soon on the publisher's official site.)

In my brief remarks to the folks who'd gathered last evening, I talked about the great value Creative Commons is giving to all of us, by doing its part to restore a tiny bit of balance in the copyright regime. I doubt many publishers would have allowed me to live up to what I've been saying on copyright these past few years, and I'm grateful that I have a publisher who totally gets it.

Brian Dear and JD Lasica also had their own posts on the party. Here's some of Brian's shots.....

Happy Easter, everybody! Nothing like a natural abomination to ring in the season! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, those are real live baby chickens dyed in various pastel colors. How do they do this thing? They inject (non-toxic) dye right into the eggs. Who does this thing? These guys, a hatchery in Alaska (no information about the chicks on their web page). Amusing? Horrifying? Strangely delicious-looking? You make the call.

A darker tale of DDR -- theft, hot

A darker tale of DDR -- theft, hot
chicks, destruction 05/25/2004 12:54 AM
Dance Dance Revolution, the legendary electronic game cited in a CNN piece today, is apparently capable of inspiring both good and eeeeevil. Here's the sordid tale of a midwestern fanatic who became a thief to support his DDR habit.

Giles thought of himself as old school; he'd learned to play on early versions of DDR with dimly lit arrows, poor graphics and no speed modifiers, circa 2001. He called new players who sucked "nubs." He was certain he had groupies. "In every arcade, we have what's called a fan club," he says. "A group of girls, normally underage, that are just desperately, madly obsessed with us."

Before things turned bad, Giles would dance against anyone willing to do battle: the stud-wearing punk, the overweight high school kid, the middle-aged Sprint worker, the preteen with the overprotective mother. "It's not just some little stompy-stompy crap," he says. "It can go crazy on you."

When he danced, he moved so fast his sneakers began to blur. Sweat beaded and fell from his brow like raindrops. Following the arrows, his feet accelerated in time, playing the commands like a musical score.

BadBlue allows you to interpret your workplace (or school) sysadmin as damage and route around him. The way it works is, you install an app on your home, broadband-connected PC, and then when you get to the office or school, you run a complimentary app on your PC there. The app disguises and forwards all of your Web traffic to your home PC, which fetches and sends back the pages you're looking for, free from automatic monitors, filters, and workplace snoopers.

If this sounds familiar, that's because it's based on the principles underpinning Peek-a-Booty and other "hactivist" apps intended to give Chinese dissidents and other prisoners of censoring proxies free access to the net. Of course, the killer app for this is looking at porn at the office.

Pedestrian Turn Signals, Huh?

Pedestrian Turn Signals, Huh? 07/23/2004 01:25 PM

MATT GALLANT -- Hello again, Gizmodeans and Gizmodettes. As Joel said, I'm here to take over for the day. As he didn't say, I am so very not good at gadget news. I've been searching all morning for gadget news, and everything I find has already been on Gizmodo for days or weeks on end.

So here is the first of the many really uninteresting things I've found that seem to be new: Pedestrian turn signals (spotted on The Red Ferret Journal). They fit behind your ear and are wired to a little controller that lets you turn one or both of them on. I have no idea if they even blink. Sorry.

At the end of the day, I'll link to a really cool game that I think you'll all like, but until then, please don't yell at Joel when I link to stupid things like this and cool things that have already been on Gizmodo. I'm using the convenient Search box at the top of the site, but who truly knows what V770s, S320s, and SXRDs lurk in the heart of the Big G? Well, besides all of you and none of me.
