Tech: 10/GUI dares you to use your fingers instead of a mouse

10/GUI from C. Miller on Vimeo.

  • This is really awesome. It’s a rethinking of the GUI to be something that replaces the mouse AND the complexity of the window system. It uses multitouch, but not on the screen. We’re big fans of everything except the overwraught hipster names it uses.source

Tech: Hulu just made bloggers’ lives incredibly easier. Thanks!

  • The video site’s new publisher tools look awesome. Hulu went from preliminary laughingstock to second-greatest video site on the planet within months (sorry Vimeo), and they keep bringing on the awesome. The newest tool in the TV-company-run site’s stable? Hulu Labs, which offers new approaches to watching funny videos from SNL. Even better? “Publisher Tools,” which gathers links and embed codes for popular videos online at sites far beyond Hulu, so you don’t have to spend an hour hunting for the latest and greatest video. That sounds awesome. source

Tech: This talking piano talks better than we do (kinda)

  • Now, if only they could give this piano a brain so that it could talk back to us when we sassed it. “Oh no you di’int” in the key of G. (The Austrians are geniuses, by the way.)source

Tech: This is how we produce all the fake photographs our site uses

PhotoSketch: Internet Image Montage from tao chen on Vimeo.

  • With technology this awesome, who needs the truth, anyway? The truth was just getting in the way of what everyone really wanted, which is awesome, beautiful photos. Photosketch grabs random labeled photos off the internet and throws them into simply-drawn shapes that you outline. The geniuses that made this now have a hit on them thanks to photojournalists everywhere.source

Tech: Meet Ardi, the superhyped, really old human-type thingy

Ardi
Hey bros, I'm Ardi. I live in a cave or something. I'm really, really old. I'm like prehistoric. A bunch of scientists just found me and freaked the (#^(^! out. Here are a couple quick facts about me:
4.4 million my age, give or take a few years; I'm holding the exact date close to my chest
Vampire Weekend my favorite band; I want to go see them live after they reincarnate me. That's why they decided to reveal me to the press, right? Right? SOURCE
