Family Tree: The Evolution Of Video Game Controllers

video-game-controller-evolution-small.jpg

Fast payday loans For Every One

Note: Larger version HERE but you’ll have to save the image to see it full-size because Geekologie is long, not wide. Unless wider is better in which case we’re totally wide too.

This is the evolution of video game controllers designed as a poster for Pop Chart Labs (and different from this one they were selling prior). You can buy a 27″ x 39″ version yourself for the low, low sale price of $ 29. Or not, I’m not the one selling them. You know what I am selling though? Happiness. “Those are pills.” I DISTILLED THEM FROM PURE HAWAIIAN SUNSHINE. “They look like Advil you licked the name off of.” I’ll give you two for $ 10.

Thanks to Patrick, who once tied his roommate to a Lay-Z-Boy using nothing but Nintendo controller cords THEN TICKLED HIM WITH THE ZAPPER.

Precious: Lord Of The Rings Bag End Bonsai Tree

bag-end-bonsai-1.jpg

This is a bonsai tree with a little Lord of the Rings Bag End theme created by Chris Guise of Bonsai Empire. Now I know what you’re thinking, and same — I want to live there too. Unfortunately we’re both too big for that. At least I am, maybe you were born ‘Indian in the Cupboard’ size. And if you were, forget about living next to a bonsai tree, I’ll give you $ 50 a day to let me carry you around in my pocket. $ 60 if you promise to never punch me in the nuts.

Hit the jump for a bunch more including closeups and the tree during fall and winter.

Chemistree: A Chemistry Lab Equipment Christmas Tree

chemistree.jpg

This is the Chemistree, an unorthodox Christmas tree made out of chemistry lab equipment and a bunch of different magic potions. “Those aren’t magic potions.” Oh I’m sorry, did you take the picture? “Well, no.” So you have no way of knowing what they are, do you? “And neither do you besides the fact there’s no such thing as magic potions.” No such thing as magic potions?! Why you blasphemous little imp! *waving wand* I HEREBY BANISH THEE TO AZKABAN. *waits for smoke to clear* Well, go on — and you better head straight there.

Thank to Sherry89, who agrees the best part of chemistry class was experimenting on your own when the teacher left the classroom. Right? Blue crystals + yellow potion = fire!

The Electree+, A Solar-Powered, Induction Charging Bonsai Tree Hits Kickstarter

electree+

Induction charging seems ready for its time in the spotlight, with the Nexus 4, Droid DNA and Lumia 920 all shipping with wireless charging based on the Qi standard built-in. Now a concept design that offers solar-powered wireless charging cleverly hidden inside a futuristic looking bonsai tree hopes to become a reality with the help of Kickstarter.

The electree+ began life as a concept by French designer Vivien Muller, which he originally unveiled in 2008. Then, three years later, Muller tried to bring the device to market, kicking off pre-orders for the device beginning at $ 370. She was aiming for 400 pre-sales, but the device eventually shipped to just a small group of 200 pre-order customers.

Now, the electree+ has been redesigned to maximize its solar efficiency, and to be manufactured in the USA at much larger volume, and for less money. The redesigned electree+ boasts a 14,000mAh internal battery, which when fully charged can fill an iPhone 5 up to and over nine times. It features 27 solar panels at the tips of branches, which are adjustable to capture maximum light. It requires 36 hours in sunlight to build up a full charge, but it also only needs around 4 hours to build up enough juice to fully recharge your standard smartphone.

Other features, like an optional built-in- NFC chip, mean that it can trigger an action when a smartphone is placed on its surface, in order to put it into dock mood or manage smart home connected devices, like light fixtures and curtains. It also has changeable faceplates, if you’re feeling bored by a particular color. Plus, the electree+ is environmentally friendly, since it’s just sipping sunlight to deliver charges to your devices.

The electree+ has two USB ports, including one designed for devices with lower power requirements like smartphones, and one for tablets which feature faster charging powers. As mentioned, because it uses Qi, it’ll work out of the box with the Nexus 4 and other smartphones with Qi inductive charging coils built-in, but it should also work with iPhones so long as they have a wireless charging case.

Pre-orders begin at $ 199, depending on what kind of options you want, and the team behind the redesigned electree+ wants to hit at least 1,000 pre-sales, or a total funding amount of $ 200,000 in order to go to production. It’s an ambitious project, but unlike with a lot of products on Kickstarter, this is one that’s actually been made and shipped, so hopefully the team stands a better chance than most of hitting their May 2013 target ship date.

Novelty Squirrel Feeder Makes Those Tree Rats Look Silly

squirrel-feeder-1.jpg

This is the Large Head Squirrel Feeder from Archie McPhee. You merely placed meals inside, then when one of those dirty little tree rats comes down consume it, they look like they have a gigantic head. I’m fairly sure that’s a taxidermied squirrel in the image there (it also attracts the dead!), but there’s some live-shots after the jump. Now I know just what you’re thinking, and I agree, they should have made them look like dinosaur heads as an alternative, however just what are you gonna do? SPOILER: Paint these ones to LOOK like dinosaurs. Tehehe, appearance at all my little dino friends playing in the yard! “You need f \*\*\* ing assistance.” I do– painting even more of these little squirrel heads! Right here, make this one a stegosaurus.

Hit the jump for a couple more shots of the TAKE THAT, TREE RAT, YOU LOOK DUUUUUMB.

Massive Lord Of The Rings Character Family Tree

lotr-family-tree.jpg

The Lord of the Rings Project is a massive family tree created by Swedish student Emil Johansson to highlight all the familial connections between characters in the series. It contains over 800 characters and can even be modified to display only dwarves, hobbits, muggles, etc. My family tree? My family tree looks like the kind of branch you’d make a slingshot out of (I’m from West Virginia).

Thanks to Erik S., whose family tree looks like the tree of life: full of diversity. Good for you, really. I TOOK A COUSIN TO PROM.

Quadrocopters don creepy eyes, build synthetic Christmas tree of envy (video)

First we let them play music, then they started juggling. Now quadrocopters are feeling emotions as well; namely, jealousy. One of Flying Machine Arena’s dainty quadrocopters, nicknamed Juliet, was compelled to build its own synthetic Christmas tree after spying an authentic fir through a glass window. Sure, stacked bricks of festive foam seem innocent enough, but look into those ping-pong ball eyes and tell us you aren’t a little worried that next year’s “war on Christmas” will be the machine’s war on humans. Fly past the break to see Juliet’s envious construction project for yourself.
