Magic Missiles Needles: A Harry Potter Quilt

harry-potter-quilt-small.jpg

Note: Slightly larger version HERE in case you’re into deets (that’s slang for details).

This is a “paper-pieced” Harry Potter quilt thrown SEWN together by Jennifer Offenstein (NOT Castle Wolfenstein). As you might be able to see, it was hand-crafted with a love for the series and, I dunno, maybe even a little magic. Jk, jk — we’d have to burn her for being a witch.

This quilt is more just a million bits of fabric stitched together. It represents all the years I’ve loved Harry Potter and some of my favorite things about the series. It has brought me friends, and fans, and brought more quilters that I can count into the wonderful world of paper piecing.

*wiping tear* Sorry — it’s just that arts & crafts stories always get to me. Oooooor I was plucking nose hairs and writing Geekologie at the same time. Which one was it? The world may never know! SPOILER: Now my nose is bleeding.

Thanks to Denise, not to be confused with Denny’s, which is where I’m usually puking around 4AM.

Homebuilt UAV hunts down hydrogen balloons, shoots firework missiles (video)


Augmented reality is swell, don’t get us wrong, but it’s no substitute for the real thing — especially when that thing is a badass tricopter equipped with a jury-rigged firework cannon to rain down miniature hell. Swedish R/C enthusiasts built this first-person flying contraption to carry out a single mission — destroy a series of hydrogen-filled balloons — which will hopefully be hard-coded into future automatons too. After all, balloons could serve as an excellent distraction when they inevitably come for you. Still, there’s no need to worry quite yet, so kick back and enjoy the video above while you contemplate humanity’s end.

U of M laser mimics helicopter heat signatures to thwart missiles

Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed a new laser-based countermeasure for aircraft, and unlike others we’ve seen (and we’ve seen a few) this technology aims to “blind” missiles rather than knock ‘em out of the sky. The system uses a mid-infrared supercontinuum laser to mimic the heat signature of a helicopter, and it has no moving parts — making it rugged enough to last a long time on rotor-based aircraft. The school has even spun off a company, Omni Sciences, to develop the thing, and has received some $1 million in grants from the Army and DARPA to build a second-generation prototype. Of course, questions remain: is it really a wargadget if you can’t blow something up with it? And even if it is, where’s the fun in that?
