From The Creator’s Project, here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the Polish Girl video for Neon Indian. Directed by Tim Nackashi, the concept is described as a humanoid’s ‘endless digital daydream,’ and includes 3D renderings and what Nackashi calls ‘light-painting.’ Very interesting stuff!

I’ll always love certain retro items, and an old-fashioned cassette tape is absolutely one of them. The AirCassette is a music-playing app for the iPhone that takes you back to the days of mixtapes and taping favorite songs off the radio to listen to them over and over under the covers. The tape spins as your music plays and all feels right with the world again.

Get ready, get amped, hold on to any and all of your hats; we’re excited for this one. The MakerBot Thing-O-Matic is a device that ‘prints’ 3D objects, creating you a copy in thermoplastic right before your eyes, and AC Gears is proud to be the first to offer it in a retail store. The unveiling happens Friday, Nov. 4th so, of course, we’re throwing a party. RSVP now on our Facebook page and come get a first look!

Kirsten Hively has been dutifully tracking down, photographing and exploring the history of iconic neon signs in NYC on her Tumblr, which is well worth a visit. Now her passion has spilled over into a gallery showing which opened on Sept. 23rd at The City Reliquary in Brooklyn as well as an iPhone app that helps direct you to the many signs she’s documented and come complete with in-depth information about each one.

Holy cow. Scientists studying brain activity have reported that we may be able to reconstruct thoughts/dreams, and they’ve got the results to prove it. Volunteers were shown video clips while a machine monitored activity in the brain. In the image above, the top row shows the clips, while the bottom row represents the computer reconstruction based on brain scans. Watch a video sample here.

If you’re an Evil Dead fan looking for a little extra motivation in your exercise routine (there’s a joke in there somewhere about nerds and physical activity, but I should probably leave it alone), keep your eyes on this Kickstarter project that pairs a fitness app with an interactive, zombie-driven plot. The app is currently in development, but you can watch the developers take you through the concept in the video above, and go to their Kickstarter page to throw in a few bucks in exchange for shirts, gear or a chance to get your voice included in the game.

World Maker Faire is coming back to New York for the second time.  Taking place at the New York Hall of Science, Maker Faire is a chance for makers, tinkerers, geeks and tech junkies to come out and show what they’ve been working on in their basement all this time.  Featuring companies like MakerBot and Epilog as well as more DIY Tech than you could see in one day, Maker Faire will take place over the course of September 17 & 18.  If you are into tech, DIY, and eccentricity, it’s well worth the cost of admission.
