But even with the iPhone 4S's 8 megapixel camera and faster CPU, it takes practice to get even reasonable results. But you don't need to spend hundreds on a point-and-shoot to get great shots on the go: get there faster with Boing Boing and MyLifeScoop's look at the best apps and add-ons. http://www.fatcatvideo.net/VideoDetail.aspx?pv=yt&assetId=Z4ZuQ7vkPSg Mon, 26 Mar 2012 00:00:00 GMT Judges Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman of MythBusters challenge a team of rocket scientists from NASA, Team Aerospace, and a family of special effects artists, Team NAC, to build a Fire and Ice themed multi-step machine. In the end, they will choose only one machine as the most innovative and creative. UNCHAINED REACTION, the new series executive produced by Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman of MYTHBUSTERS, airs Sundays at 10PM/ET/PT. The six-part series, for which Adam and Jamie also serve as judges, pits two teams of varying backgrounds against each other to build an elaborate chain reaction contraption. But they're not creating a mere string of dominoes - teams must utilize ingenuity, innovation and know-how to build contraptions on a massive scale. For UNCHAINED REACTION, teams made up of artists, rocket scientists, construction workers, animatronic specialists, engineers and motorcycle mechanics are provided with identical sets of tools and materials and given five days to complete a series of mechanisms based on a specific theme. It's the ultimate build-off pressure cooker, where refined mechanical movements, pyrotechnics and large-scale destruction are encouraged. Making a refrigerator a pendulum? Totally possible on UNCHAINED REACTION. Catapults? Flying saucers? Guillotines? Anything goes as long as they trigger the next link in the chain. http://www.fatcatvideo.net/VideoDetail.aspx?pv=yt&assetId=xYn01rCTi4M Thu, 22 Mar 2012 00:00:00 GMT David and his son built this Vibrobot featured in makeprojects.com http://www.fatcatvideo.net/VideoDetail.aspx?pv=yt&assetId=mC8PU8gJxGo Wed, 14 Mar 2012 00:00:00 GMT The publicist for the James Renner's novel, The Man From Primrose Lane, sent me an old 8-track tape cartridge player along with a few different tapes, including one with the first chapter of the novel. My kids were fascinated by the device, and I enjoy ed pressing the spring-loaded lever to switch programs on the tape. The clunking sound it makes when it switches programs is deeply satisfying. http://www.fatcatvideo.net/VideoDetail.aspx?pv=yt&assetId=VvYr5BVUTkA Tue, 06 Mar 2012 00:00:00 GMT At TED2012 I interviewed Joshuah Foer, who gave a presentation about his recent book, Moonwalking With Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything. In his book, Joshua writes about covering the United States Memory Championship for a magazine. He decided to enter the contest himself and learned many ancient as well as cutting-edge techniques for memorizing long lists of numbers, the order of cards in a deck, pictures of things, etc. He ended up winning the championship. http://www.fatcatvideo.net/VideoDetail.aspx?pv=yt&assetId=QLzMHO50nTA Fri, 02 Mar 2012 00:00:00 GMT Lucy McRae was trained as a classical ballerina and an architect, and her work as a "body architect" incorporates these interests and more.

He's received over 500000 postcards from anonymous people around the world who have shared a secret they've never told anyone before. I interviewed Frank right after his fantastic TED talk, which got standing ovation. http://www.fatcatvideo.net/VideoDetail.aspx?pv=yt&assetId=3BE9T2iF8mc Wed, 29 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT Ayah Bdeir is the founder and lead engineer of littleBits, an open source library of electronic modules that snap together with tiny magnets for prototyping and play. littleBits won Popular Science's "Best of Toy Fair 2012" and Ayah was named a TED Fellow this year. http://www.fatcatvideo.net/VideoDetail.aspx?pv=yt&assetId=WOP58DMdnO4 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT Gregory Gage of Backyardbrains.com showed me how to measure the electrical activity of a neuron in a cockroach leg. At around the 12:00 minute mark, Gregory pumps the electrical signal from music on his iPhone into the cockroach's leg, causing it to twitch in time with the beat. (The cockroach's leg will grow back.) http://www.fatcatvideo.net/VideoDetail.aspx?pv=yt&assetId=edEXKiOmPvE Tue, 28 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT I'm here at TED2012! Here's a short interview with Bre Pettis, co-founder of MakerBot Industries. Bre shares news about the new Replicator 3D printer, and the printing of an old school mechanical clock with an escapement mechanism. (I called it a "catchment mechanism" in the video -- oops.") http://www.fatcatvideo.net/VideoDetail.aspx?pv=yt&assetId=nqTYgvQK4gg Tue, 28 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT No Description Available http://www.fatcatvideo.net/VideoDetail.aspx?pv=yt&assetId=8Joa2UaMky8 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT Mad Chef.

Remedy Editorial's Scott Compton and his merry band of video documentarians made the scene on behalf of Boing Boing. You'll remember Scott and crew as the artistes who brought The Swell Season and The Decemberists to the big little screen for Boing Boing Video. We are now honored to feature their loving cut of My Morning Jacket, interviewed and live in concert on June 24, 2011. Here's Scott: About our time with the band: We spent about 45 minutes interviewing the band. This is one of those happy stories where you meet your heroes and they are even cooler than you had hoped. They were unscripted, present, and exhibited a great esprit de corps both in the interview and onstage. I got the sense that they were appreciative of their fans. I'm an even bigger fan now and I hope the BB audience enjoys the extended 21 minute experience. Thanks to MMJ road manager Eric Mayers for his collaborative spirit and of course the beautiful Fox Oakland theatre and Tony Leong of Another Planet Entertainment. About the production: MMJ like shows are legendary. Lighting Designer Marc Janowitz immerses the audience with an ultra-sophisticated blend of colors and shapes. The audience response to the sight/sound is emotional and visceral. I wanted to give the MMJ fan a sense of what it was like to be in the audience at the Fox in Oakland.

Everyone was in different cities around the US and other countries. We are all wearing sunglasses to ensure privacy.
