It reminds me of indie cinema- sorta psychadelic and out there, yet totally banal and cute. Like seventh grade whippets. Yeah, just like that.

I think i’m scared. But I also feel like I wanna go home and cut holes in a rug, put it on my head and imagine I have my own army.

Dear scary man(woman?) with a carpet on your head. Please don’t unleash your army on me for thinking you are funny. I mean ya no harm.

Stereoscopic Video http://blog.makerlab.com/2009/01/stereoscopic-video/ http://blog.makerlab.com/2009/01/stereoscopic-video/#comments Sun, 18 Jan 2009 03:55:38 +0000 http://blog.makerlab.com/?p=612 Whatever happened to Stereoscopic Video anyway?

Whatever happened. Well, let us think seriously about this. Some things move on. Value is fleeting in a liquid environment like this.

Technology has been the most liquid of all stages of societal development.

Cross your eyes so that the two middle images become three, and then kind of watch the middle. Or you can use stereoscopic glasses.

Ciao.

Join us for a Candy Factory Tour! http://blog.makerlab.com/2008/12/join-us-for-a-candy-factory-tour/ http://blog.makerlab.com/2008/12/join-us-for-a-candy-factory-tour/#comments Fri, 26 Dec 2008 22:32:24 +0000 http://blog.makerlab.com/?p=496
Join Us for a Candy Factory Tour! from Amber Case on Vimeo.

While driving around Denver, Colorado, my family and I saw a sign for a free candy factory tour. We called the number to get the address and arrived a half hour later.

However, it was Christmas eve, and there were no tours happening anymore.

But the owner saw our faces and took us on a behind-the scenes tour where he showed us all kinds of cool equiptment and let us sample secret candy they’ve been working on at the factory.

See the post that goes along with this video.

A Story about a Robot and his Dog (and a Duplication Machine) from Amber Case on Vimeo.

What’s one to do when snow attacks your current place of residence, disallowing a flight back home? There’s only one thing a person like me can do — make stop-motion animation!

Warning: Contains violence, terror, and futuristic epicness.

Soccer Playing Dog Found in Southern Oregon http://blog.makerlab.com/2008/12/soccer-playing-dog-found-in-southern-oregon/ http://blog.makerlab.com/2008/12/soccer-playing-dog-found-in-southern-oregon/#comments Thu, 25 Dec 2008 18:33:19 +0000 http://blog.makerlab.com/?p=471
Soccer Playing Dog Found in Southern Oregon from Amber Case on Vimeo.

Salem Ore – Ticket, a soccer playing dog, was last seen near an elementary school in a cozy hidden neighborhood. Ticket’s owner, Xali Poppystone, reported that her dog had just “picked up the sport one day at the dog park”.

“I threw him the ball one day and he ran with it and never looked back”, Poppystone said, “and all of the folks at the dog park kept asking me how the heck I trained her to do it.”

When asked if Poppystone planned on extending the dog’s capability to make goals, she shook her head. “I’m sure it will come in time, but I’m just going to let her have fun”.

Briar-Gate, 8, was seen playing with the dog during Thanksgiving weekend. The pair seemed to be teaching each other new tricks.

Ticket is part Rat-Terrier, and part Chihuahua.
