Culture Buzz I want one. Lasers will replace airguns in the pentathalon at the 2012 Summer Olympics and everyone will hopefully be making “pew pew pew” noises. The laser guns — calibrated to recoil and make a sound like the traditional pellet pistol — are safer and cheaper. I think America could dominate the medal count in laser tag.
Culture Buzz MakerBot Industries, with their handy-dandy Thing-O-Matic, allows you to easily scan and print 3D models of whatsoever your heart desires. Including my bulbous melon. I visited MakerBot founder Bre Pettis at the Botcave in Brooklyn for a heads-on demonstration. They had lasers and corn starch and beer. Pretty cool.

Hello? Olympics? This is your cousin, Marvin Olympics! I've found that new sport you're looking for! When he's not doing coke or dropping n-bombs, this is how Alf unwinds.
This guy attached a laser pointer to his wiener dogs collar. The result? The dog chases it around and walks himself. He gets up to a good speed at some points, I bet he was tired afterwards.

This site exists for one and only one reason. I'm just not sure what it is yet.
Check out this entry in the Electrolux “Cooking for the Futur” Competition. It cooks with freaking LASERS!!! Three of them to be precise. It can also scan your food. My favorite feature is the lack of any kind of casing for it at all. So when your house goes haywire, ala Pulse, it will totally kill you.
