With a few exceptions , space seems very static to us humans with our short lifetimes. By stitching together some 14 years of Hubble images of young stars emitting huge jets of gas, astronomers have created videos that show how dynamic our universe actually is.

NYC’s Adafruit Industries is coming at you with another piece of eye-catching geekery : the iNecklace. As cringe-worthy as a piece of Apple-themed jewelry should be, it’s actually really cool.
Remember that impressive Fallout fan-film from a couple months ago . I do. Does that make me special? No. Spending four years in a lead-painted crib made me special. *trying to lick ear* Well the short was so successful they deciding to turn it into a web series . And the video of me ranting about government conspiracies with a grocery bag over my head? Now that — that was a flop. KEEP IGNORING THE TRUTH — YOU’LL SEE! Hit the jump for ten minutes of wasteland RPGing. But, warning: there’s a ghoul in the crew.

Last year, there was a big to-do in the tech world when an Apple engineer left an early version of the iPhone 4 at a San Francisco bar, only to have it found by someone who then sold it to Gizmodo. And good lord, Apple has gone and done it again.

Usually, we highlight fancy photography and tech-heavy art pieces and paintings inspired by technology . You know what? Geeky pleasures can be simple, too. No frills here — just a window, a dry-erase marker and some nerdy fun.

Russia just approved a 62-mile high-speed railway tunne l that will connect Soviet Russia and Alaska. Why? I have no idea, but if premium vodka prices mysteriously bottom out here in the U.S., well, I’d be okay with that. The Russian government has given the go-ahead on an ambitious new tunnel project that could connect Siberia with Alaska via an underground rail line. If completed, the $65 billion project will be the longest underwater tunnel in the world, besting the Chunnel between England and France by twice the distance. The planned course would stretch over 65 miles and would snake beneath the Big and Little Diomede Islands. Aside from being a civil engineering marvel, the tunnel would also provide an efficient way to move 100 million tons of freight per year. In addition, the tunnel could provide an easy transmission route for electricity developed by tidal energy stations and wind plants in Russia to Alaska and Canada. In addition, the rail system would complete a high-speed network that could stretch from London to New York City. There’s currently no plan for passenger travel through the tunnel, so if you’re looking to cross the Strait, you’re still gonna have to do it the old fashioned way: in the hollowed out belly of a frozen elk carcass. Trust me, I took social studies. Road Trip! Russia approves tunnel to Alaska under Bering Strait [autoblog] Thanks to JGD, who tried to get the permits to be shot out of a cannon across the Bering Strait and Russia was all “GO FOR IT, BROSKI!” but America was all, “hmm, I dunno…”. LAME.

We’ve known about Sony’s plans to crash into the Android tablet scene with two interesting designs — the S1 and S2, as the pair was formerly called — but didn’t have much in the way of details. Well, Sony still needs to work on its naming scheme, but the newly christened Tablet S and Tablet P are delivering on a promise to be different.

Here is a video showing people being flung down a gigantic slip-and-slide on a tube pulled by a vehicle, only to be launched off a ramp into a lake. It looks like the most fun thing ever.

You might have won this round , but as soon as I figure out how to disguise a horse as a human and train it to not shit while we make our way through the queue line then IT. IS. ON. That’s right, I’m going for the polo. No, no I’m not. But I will eat six hotdogs and try to vom right when the flash goes off. Note: God has really not been feeling me lately and is determined to make this one of the worst weeks of recent life. Blogging from phone because the internet’s out and my car exploded during a stunt. Picture [geeks.thedailywh.at] Thanks to Clark, who claims to have snuck in an entire desktop computer in the mid-90’s and played Rollercoaster Tycoon while riding a rollercoaster but didn’t have the money to pay for the commemorative photo. Uh-oh — no photo, no credit, those are the rules!
