| Meet @lunumbra, the internet’s coolest Pokémon card artist Posted: 14 Oct 2018 12:00 PM PDT  By now it's obvious the internet is a chaotic place. The world has been connected, and now that a global population has come online — via cheap broadband and cheaper cellular data — there is so much more noise online than ever. That, combined with the proliferation of instant global news and social media, has made online a uniquely exhausting place to be. It's hard to find a quiet place in the din. Recently, I ran across one of those quiet spaces where I least expected it: on Instagram, on @lunumbra's page. There, Micah Yates, as she's otherwise known, uses acrylics to paint the backgrounds of Pokémon cards and takes video of the process. The results are astonishing. |
| Google says Pixel camera app will soon support external mics Posted: 14 Oct 2018 11:00 AM PDT  Google will update the camera app on its Pixel smartphones to work with external microphones when shooting video, an employee from the app's engineering team has confirmed. Android Police reported on the upcoming feature on Friday. The Pixel is known for producing terrific still photos, and Google developed impressive stabilization for the video end of things. But the Pixel's microphones only capture so-so audio. External mics that plug into the USB-C port (or headphone jack in the case of the original Pixel) can solve for this. Some third-party Android camera apps like Open Camera already allow for external mics to record audio while the Pixel handles video. But having the option in the stock app will be nice for vloggers and other... |
| Red Bull set up the world’s largest step sequencer outside a Berlin nightclub Posted: 14 Oct 2018 10:00 AM PDT  As part of Red Bull Music Academy's 20th edition, the company has built the world's largest step sequencer, and placed it outside of iconic Berlin club Tresor for anyone to try out. Called the RBMA-20, the sequencer was designed and built by the Berlin-based creative studio Neulant van Exel, and took 30 technicians five weeks to assemble. Red Bull says it is the largest drum machine ever built and is fully functional. It's physically massive, at about 33 feet long, 7.2 feet high, and weighs over 1,300 pounds. Across the interface are 427 knobs and faders, four analog drum machines, a modular synthesizer, and a sampling unit. Red Bull hasn't said much more about what powers the RBMA-20, but musician Connor Crowe got a peek at what's under... |
| Listen to an excerpt from John Scalzi’s next book, The Consuming Fire Posted: 14 Oct 2018 09:00 AM PDT  In John Scalzi's space opera novel The Collapsing Empire, he introduced a world where a vast, planetary empire grew throughout the galaxy by way of the Flow, a faster-than-light network that allows for interstellar trade. At the end of that book, the network was beginning to collapse, setting up a perilous situation for the next book in the series, The Consuming Fire, which is out next week. The book will be out in hardcover and audio, and as is the case with most of Scalzi's audiobooks, it'll be narrated by Wil Wheaton. Audible provided us with an excerpt of the audiobook, in which two of the novel's characters come face to face with a ghostly presence on a starship, one that highlights just how much a language can change over several... |
| One Night, Hot Springs uses social anxiety to explain what it’s like to be transgender in Japan Posted: 14 Oct 2018 08:00 AM PDT  It can be difficult to find time to finish a video game, especially if you only have a few hours a week to play. In our biweekly column Short Play we suggest video games that can be started and finished in a weekend. One of the best things about video games is being able to experience things from a different person's point of view. Even better is when you are given the opportunity to play out different scenarios from that person's perspective. It allows you to not only learn about what the world can be like for another person, but to, in a small way, inhabit and experience it because of the agency that games can provide. One Night, Hot Springs is a visual novel that does just this by having you experience a very specific moment in the... |
| Tracking Elon Musk’s SEC battle through the plot of good TV show Billions Posted: 14 Oct 2018 07:00 AM PDT  I could start this post by trying to write some eloquent thing about how life imitates art, and vice versa, but here's the truth: what's happening in 2018 feels increasingly unfathomable, and so I, like many others, have found comfort in drawing parallels to popular culture. Like the #resistance tweeters who tie red string between every new development in the horror show of modern day America and the world of Harry Potter, my new obsession is picking out all the similarities between Elon Musk's ongoing fight with the SEC and the very good Showtime show Billions. Spoilers for, let's say, all three seasons of the very good Showtime show Billions ahead, even though I just started season three. Billions revolves around two main characters.... |
| Vue raised $3 million for smart glasses years ago, but promises they’ll ship Posted: 14 Oct 2018 06:00 AM PDT  In our monthly Rise and Fall column we look back at crowdfunded gadgets that reached their funding goal. Months or year later, how are they doing? If they've shipped to backers, are they still supporting the gadget? If they haven't shipped, why haven't they met their shipping deadline? We hope this column will give us all a place to understand. What's today's gadget and what does it do?Vue is a pair of smart glasses that launched on Kickstarter in October 2016 with a $50,000 funding goal. It surpassed that goal and ultimately raised more than $2 million from backers. Since then, the company has raised an additional million dollars through preorders. The glasses are supposed to play and control music through bone conduction speakers,... |
