How To Hijack A Video Advertisment

This is incredibly cool. This dude enabled his iPhone to take over any video screen and make it play whatever is on your iPhone, as he demonstrates in Times Square in the above video. This would seem to have unlimited possibilities for troublemakers. I'm looking at you, Banksy.

Plug & Play

Pretty sure I'm going to need one of these when they become available March 31. Lets you plug your guitar (or whatever instrument) directly into your iPad, Mac, iPhone or iPod Touch via the dock connectors or USB port to play in GarageBand. FINALLY.

A Smarter Surfboard

The Good Flock

I've been looking for a good iPad case for a while now, and I think this just might be the one. From my throw pillows, to my blog background, to this iPad case, I've gone Navajo-print crazy! This particular case is from a website called The Good Flock, which has lots of other great cases for laptops, iPads, Kindles, and even pencil cases! Check them out, they're pretty stellar.

HDR Video Demonstrated

And look, there's my work!

HDR stands for High Dynamic Range, and its basically the process of combining an over exposed image and an underexposed image into one resulting in a beautiful final image. HDR photos are about to come to the iPhone, which is awesome. Now it looks like maybe HDR video could eventually follow. Have a look at this video demonstration. Pretty gorgeous.

Power Laces Are Here

YES. Some do-it-yourselfer seems to have made pretty good progress at the long-sought-after "power laces" made famous in Back To The Future II . They look pretty damn good to me! On a side note, Nike has apparently applied for a patent on their own power laces design. It would seem these might actually finally happen, one way or another.

The Electric Silveira Watercraft

Oh man, this is so cool. You're looking at a carbon fiber Silveira Green Samba XRS personal watercraft. It can reach speeds of 65 mph with a hull that weighs in at just 35 lbs. The absolute coolest part, though, is that it's all electric. Zero emissions and undoubtedly very, very quiet. It's designed to be more like a sport bike than a jet ski. It's smaller, you ride it on your knees, and it really responds to the movements of your body (that's...).

So fresh.

The Watermelon Cart

Oh, Japanese people...

Yes, this is exactly what you think it is. A cart to keep your watermelon fresh and cool whilst transporting it. Then again, with the prices they charge for perfect fruits in Japan, I suppose something like this makes sense.

This Is Not A Drill

Believe it or not the world of dentistry is in fact making attempts to progress its science and technology. Although I've long believed dentists make their money from filling phantom cavities, they may soon be making their money in a less painful way.

Researchers are testing a new tooth regeneration gel that contains a peptide known as MSH, or melanocyte-stimulating hormone. It would be applied to a cavity and in about a month the tooth will have healed by regenerating itself. This has already been proven to work in mice and human trials are set to begin. If all goes well, it could be available in a few years. It seems, however, it would not work on all cavities, and "most" would still need to be drilled and filled.

Baby steps, I suppose.

Google + Pacman

Have you been to Google today? In celebration of Pacman's 30th anniversary, they designed their Google name like the Pacman arcade game, which is fine, but the cool part is that you can actually play Pacman on it! Yeah! Click here if you don't know how to get to the Google homepage.

UPDATE: Due to popular demand (most likely just me playing it for two days straight) Google has created a permanent link to play the Google-Pacman game. Yeah! Click here to play.

The $2,250 Mouthguard

I was watching Monday Night Football last season and one of the announcers, Jon Gruden, was talking about how the New Orleans Saints were all wearing these special kind of mouthguards that increased their balance and flexibility. It sounded kind of ridiculous at the time, but I was also a bit intrigued.

Now considering they ended up winning the Superbowl for the first time in franchise history, perhaps there was something to those little pieces of plastic. It's been something that I wondered about from time to time, and just last night at the gym I got into a discussion about it with my trainer Taz and another fellow. So I decided to finally look into it.

The basic idea centers around neuromuscular dentistry, which explores the relationship between jaw alignment and the body. The theory is that you can find an ideal jaw position that will unlock the rest of the body and create health benefits that include increased flexibility and strength.

Every Pure Power Mouthguard must be specially fitted by an authorized dentist to the individual's mouth. The process begins with a 45 minute muscle and nerve stimulation, which de-programs the nerve patterns that are causing any misalignment in your jaw. Next, a computer tracks your jaw movement to its ideal position to within 0.7 millimeters. Finally, the exact space between your bite is found and a custom mold is created. After a series of exercises ensure your ideal bite has been found, you're set.

Personally, it sounds pretty cool to me. I definitely believe that the proper alignment of bones, muscles, and meridians will increase your energy flow, and thus make your body function at a higher level. I'd love to try this out myself and see how it works, but this science is not cheap. The basic model is $595 while the top-of-the-line signature series model will cost you a mind-boggling $2,250. For a mouthguard. Then again, that's like the tip on the dinner bill for most pro athletes, so I'm sure Makkar–the company that makes these–is profiting greatly from the sports world.
