Over on Unboxing, we just posted a new video of us opening up a Nikon D80 Outfit set. The D80 Outfit is the retail box that includes the Nikon D80 digital SLR, along with an 18-55mm lens. It’s fairly pricey at about $1200, but you can find the Nikon D80 Outfit cheaper if you shop around for it. Enjoy the unboxing video for now, and look for a review shortly.

Is That Really a Tiger Across the Street?
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Misc. Tech, Videos,
Video artist Karolina Sobeca has created a type of screen projection of animals called Wildlife that we just had to share with any of you that had never seen it previously. Connected to a moving car, the frame rate of the moving images corresponds to the speed of the automobile’s wheel rotation by use of a sensor. If the car stops, the screen creature does as well. The projection often flickers or disappears when detected on buildings, another car, or humans. We dig Karolina’s approach to art, “We are elevated from the everyday reality through this element of fantasy into a world with more dimensions, possibilities and perhaps beauty.”

Video: iPhone Launches June 29, Get In Line Now
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Handhelds, Portable Audio / Video, Videos,
As evidenced by the video above, found on YouTube by one of our readers, the Apple iPhone now has an official launch date: June 29, 2007. The commercial first aired this evening during an episode of 60 Minutes. The announcement of the release date was subtle, and was featured at the end of the spot, which showcase a few of the iPhone’s functions. We were expecting Steve Jobs to announce the launch date at WWDC, but what do we know? All that matters now is that the biggest mobile phone launch in history is just a few weeks away.
UPDATE: Apple just posted three new iPhone commercials, all featuring the June 29 launch date.

Encyclopedia of Life Collects All Living Creatures on One Site
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Internet, Science, Videos,
For the first time, all 1.8 million earthly species, including those recently discovered, will become available for scientists, students, and the rest of us common folk. Conceptualized by 2007 TED Winner E. O. Wilson, a consortium of educational and scientific institutions, including NASA, is creating an evolving Encyclopedia of Life (EOL,) an online database to help find out about and protect our planet.
Included in the online tome will be images, sound, video, location maps, and a multitude of information. Although individual pages were created in the ‘90s, in January the project received enough funding to research and categorize more scientific data. The EOL should be completed within the next ten years, unless another million species are discovered first.

Cheeseheads Reach Across the Pond
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Cameras, Internet, Misc. Tech, Videos,
Don’t ask us to explain it, but apparently people love watching cheese mature. Cheddarvision made its debut in December, and has had more than 1.2 million hits. What is the big deal? A 23-kilogram (~50 lbs.) slab of the dairy product is sitting in a dark storage barn in Westcombe, London, aging as a webcam keeps track of the event. It gets adjusted once a week to keep it’s shape. It also has its own MySpace with almost 860 “friends” and a time lapse of its first 3 months on YouTube.
“People from all over the world are e-mailing us about the cheese. Somebody has written lots of songs about it. It has been invited to a wedding. We’ve had post cards sent to it,” said its owner Tom Calvar.
Mr. Calvar, how about you get in touch and we can discuss the future of your cheese with some of those rabid eBay fans?
