One detail which might put doubters off is that the USB standard camera won’t output 720p video to your TV or media player but for me that was no issue because I can connect to my Sony HDTV or PS3 via USB (card reader) and generally have all my video on a network drive anyway.

But that’s rambled enough. You obviously want to see how the 720p recording quality is. Here’s a minute of today’s Tour de France stage, recorded live in 720p with fine settings. The TV broadcast is upscaled digital TV quality, transmitted via IP.

I thought I would add something funny to this but other than that the image 3190pixel high is, I really have nothing to say. Yes, I know. That’s a novelty.

Maybe this should be part of a new series: motivational posters.

But not touch because it looks so frakkin’ awesome.

Except for one small detail, a really minor detail. It’s $249. And you can not eat it either. No amount of IRN BRU can help you digest this. So you’ll have to find a spot on your desk or coffee table for it. Now go order me one and send it as a gift to the Frankylicious HQ.

Women should love it as well because it’s 12″.

But a periodic table of periodic tables? WTF? So this guy had way to much of time on hands, made a collection of different periodic tables he found online and then wrapped it all up in a new periodic table. The periodic table of periodic tables.

The worst thing about all this? He even got us to write about!

It’s almost as bad as these Twitter bloc-notes, but then again… it’s a periodic table, right?

Larger version at the flickr, complete with explanation and links.

Do they only serve for DMs or how do you actually use them?

Am I supposed to stick them on the outside of my window because yes, my office is on first floor. See what I did there?

So yeah… Twitter post-its. I suppose you use them when all your electrical devices, connecting you to the real world, are out of power and you can’t find a socket in the wall?

If life truly is such a bitch to you, don’t fear and go download the Twitter post-its here. Let me know how to follow you when you do use these.

Right.

We’ll even forgive you if you’re a softie and only can cope with ‘Lynch beginner level’ suspense like in Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive.

So what if you could have your own, super-sized David Lynch?
It now is possible. Well kinda, that might have been a lie actually but Jamie Salmon went ahead and created his own Lynch. Imagine sitting at the table, with your Lynch replica¹ and enjoying your food in real Eraserhead style. Sign me up for one, please.

1. Which has real hair nevertheless

We would maybe make an exception for BigFoot or Alf but other than that, no pet animals are not the real deal. And so thinks Nick Drummond whose pictures of his preferred pet animal we gladly stole for this post.

Why? Because we can he keeps an AT-AT that’s why. And if you don’t think that rocks, well then maybe you shouldn’t be reading frankylicio.us.

More pictures at Nick Drummond’a AT-AT gallery.

‘Yes’, we say here at frankylicious HQ. Not that Batman isn’t awesome already but with lightsabers, now that’s the real deal.

But I know that we all are exhausted after this long week of ‘unproductivity’ and wish nothing else than to hit that first frozen one¹, you’ll have to hit the image to have a larger view of the flowchart.

Now you can hit the Vortex of unproductivity in good conscious.

1. Don’t tell anyone but this is my third one already. Shhhtt!

I’ll have two thanks. Until then, feel free to have your fun with your watermelon. Maybe you first should get some LEGO before you play with melons ¹, still it’s awesome.

1. And let’s all prepare for what’s upcoming next Halloween as well

Batman, Darth Vader, Lightsabers. Can it get it better? Thrown all three in one pot, right?

But maybe that’s the wrong thing to do.

So it seems that rumours of a Dark Horse – Batman cross-over comic could become reality? Who knows whether the dream of many a nerd will ever be realised. What it did bring though is this awesome drawing by Dave Dorman.

Luckily we still love LEGO here at frankylicious HQ and e mark this return with the Story of Adult Fans of Lego

Photographer Josef Hoflehner has an amazing collection of surreal images of the beach near Princess Juliana Airport International in St. Maarten.

The guys over at the Beeb certainly had fun with our money, holding the episode back but this year, Christmas will not bring you the eternal Christmas carols and evergreen movies¹, but instead we get James May in his LEGO House and the last episodes of the Tenth Doctor.

Are you excited already? I sure am but of course the Beeb has other plans again. Instead they released a teaser video on the Tube today.

1. Of course they will also be shown.

Screw that. Everybody move on now! Nothing to see here.

Weirdos. Get a Mac.

For those among us who don’t believe that Klingons and Cylons will be able to cohabitat peacefully, Chinese designer Shi Jinsong has created the ultimate Terminator Baby Stroller.

Lady Gaga, Victorian, Burtonesque.

Obviously whenever someone goes totally Burton on us, we become weak. Add some Victorian style to the mix and we are lost.
Yes, I wished I were at the the concert at the Royal Albert Hall to see this one song with a 20ft high piano. Screw the 20ft trail to the dress but look at the feet of the piano.

The video is best watched without sound.

Still, their are enough of nerds out there who have given hope to get laid up and try to spend their time positively. Constructively. Cancer? Screw dat, let’s build a model train set.

First you’ll need something like this.

You’ll also need some sheep

and sunflowers.

Cars and lights.

Your own Live8 concert or was it Robbie Williams?

How about some trains though?

But most of all, you’ll need a really big location for your train set.

For numbers and more pictures head over to the Telegraph but let me tell you 700 trains, more than 10.000 carriages, expected to be finished in 2014, fourteen years and 13 miles of railroad track after starting the project. The largest trains is 47ft.

‘Few people realise just how rich in biodiversity the Southern Ocean is – even a single trawl can reveal a fascinating array of weird and wonderful creatures as would be seen on a coral reef,’ said BAS research cruise leader Dr David Barnes.

‘These animals are potentially very good indicators of environmental change as many occur in the shallows, which are changing fast, but also in deeper water which will warm much less quickly.’

I don’t think right now you are thinking of fish&chips, are you?

Images gladly stolen from The Daily Mail online. Hey, it’s news!

Enjoy it.

Yes, we are fans of Quentin here at frankylicious. And of his soundtracks. Now the guys at Eclectic Method went further and created an awesome mixtape of his soundtracks. With just as awesome video.

The most embarassing? The video is 7 months old and we only discovered it now!

That’s it. I’m outta here. Playing Oblivion, Shivering Isles.

Best of all? It’s a double bed so you’ll have plenty of space to put your laptop, hide some cans of Mountain Dew and even then you’ll still have space left over for a tablet to put your Pot Noodles on. You get it, it’s a nerd’s dream.

Let me present you the Millenium Falcon bed.

So we passed when the news of Marvel’s acquisition by Disney hit the wires and waited for cool stuff to come out and this is definitely one of those things we have been waiting for: The ultimate Disney Marvel crossover by T Campbell.

Picture stolen without authorization, but THIS, this we consider NEWSWORTHY! And you should go ahead and buy your print fron T Campbell.!

Or something like that or watch the newest Big Bang Theory episode. Gosh, I am more and more starting to like Penny. Perfect typecasting.

Anyway. So yeah. Ric Turner just did it. No he wasn’t being a Tiger! In the Northern American craze and hype of over-decorating your houe for the festive period, he gave it a spin. Holiday lightning around the house? Sure, why not he thought, but at least be original.

What did he come up with?

The Guitar Hero House.

And the thing is fully functional. I want to see a video of the whole street playing Rock Band!

Nerd of the Week without doubt.

Now you can even floss with bacon.

Only $4.95.

1. We will NOT mention lightsabers, animals with lightsabers or skinned lizards!

Original post at foodie friday.

Windows as in windows, those small glass things you look out in the real world trough! Yeah, windows. That’s exactly what I said!

And why shouldn’t you have your own original Simpsons Stained Window?

1. Does this make me a sick f*ck?

David Brock website.

It seems that the dog is some kind of iPod speaker or something like that, probably with TV reception in the land of the rising sun, but I would love to have a translation. Did Tarantino write the script or dialogue? Japan specialists, help me out!

Enjoy.
