Tokyoflash Kisai Stencil Watch Is All About What It Doesn’t Show

by Eric Limer | 1:10 pm, February 21st

As part of its enduring fondness for watches which aren’t immediately decipherable, Tokyoflash has released yet another watch that isn’t exactly what it seems. The Kisai Stencil Watch, while a little weird at a glance, is probably the most intuitive Tokyoflash watch I’ve seen in a long time. The trick is easy; the numbers are drawn with the whitespace. As you might have guessed by the watch’s name, its face is conveyed via stencil, making it look like jumbled lines at first glance, but also exceeding easy to read once the trick clicks.

Scalado’s Remove App Can Remove Photobombers From Your Pictures

by Eric Limer | 4:49 pm, February 15th

One of the hardest parts of taking photos in public — aside from the eternal shame of looking like a filthy tourist — is all the people who tend to be out in public, going about their own business: The business of getting in your way. Best case scenario is that they take pains to avoid you, the filthy smartphone-camera-wielding tourist, and then you feel self-conscious about it. Well, no more. Remove, a Scalado app, can actually remove bothersome interlopers from your photos. It won’t assuage your social awkwardness, but it’ll leave you with souvenir pictures that reflect a perfect photo-op that never actually existed.

The Best Special Effects Demo Reel of All Time [Video]

by James Plafke | 2:28 pm, June 30th

Before you laugh at Martin Gamal’s special effects demo reel, keep in mind that even though it looks ridiculous, you probably don’t even know how to make special effects. Then you may freely resume laughing about the demo reel, because look at that thing.

Ever Wondered How NASA Photoshops Their Images? Watch This Video

by James Plafke | 11:00 am, March 27th

NASA generally releases some fairly pretty pictures of things that we humans who don’t have NASA-style funding wouldn’t ever be able to see. Well, it turns out NASA doesn’t necessarily see the things they’re releasing pictures of either, at least, not how they look in said released pictures. From HubbleSite:

Hubble images are made, not born. Images must be woven together from the incoming data from the cameras, cleaned up and given colors that bring out features that eyes would otherwise miss. In this video from HubbleSite, online home of the Hubble Space Telescope, a Hubble-imaged galaxy comes together on the screen at super-fast speed.

Pixel Pistol

by Robert Quigley | 10:50 am, March 1st

Etsy vendor presstarttobegin makes and sells pixellated pistols like the one above, available in a host of colors.

This color version is to be henceforth known as “CMY-Killa”! This is because of the cyan, magenta, and yellow accent stripes that bedeck & bedazzle both sides of this dark gray/black gun. So there.

These pistols are cut from 3/4” thick poplar dowels, assembled with wood glue, primed, and painted with high quality acrylics. They are then sealed with a spray-on varnish to provide extra protection against accidental scratching.

This edition of guns measure 9 1/2” long, 6” tall, and 3/4” deep.

They don’t fire bullets, mind you — do you really think you could fire bullets from a gun that’s a pixel thick? — but you can at least play pretend and make chiptune noises, though you may not want to do this in public. The creator’s pixel knife is pretty neat too.
