Auto-Lacing Shoes

Power Laces inspired by 'Back to The Future II', this project by Blake Bevi, who hooked a micro-controller on to the back of a pair of sneakers. "Operation is quite simple- step into the shoe and a force sensor reads the pressure of your foot and activates two servo motors, which apply tension to the laces, tightening the shoe. A touch switch reverses the servos.
this project is less 'Practical' than 'Proof of Concept', but hopefully it'll tide you over until Nike comes out with something more polished. " Bevin writes.
Awesome, I want!

Apple’s new iPhone 4 has exceeded the expectations of many, yet its 5-megapixed camera is outdated compared to some of its competitors like HTC’s Evo 4G, which has an 8-megapixel camera. A recent prototype around the net shows how a distinct character created a special tripod to attach a DSLR lens to the iPhone 4. A creation like this can certainly help a traveling photographer who is not keen to carrying equipment around or interest one who wants to enter the world of photography.

First music video shot on the iPhone 4

This music video for the song “Cascades” by Flakjakt, "the first music video shot on the iPhone 4".
"Song was written in 2 days, video shot in 1.3 days and edited in 2 days.
In a fun weeklong experiment, my friend Marty and I collaborated on this video for an original song I wrote specifically for the iPhone 4 shoot. The overall goal was to produce a great, entertaining music video first and foremost, regardless of what camera we were shooting. I think the end result is rather unique and quite a fun experience to watch! "
