You hear that rumble? Thats an army of geeks, gettin’ down so damn hard that the very walls around us were beginning to crumble.
Okay, fine - it’s just a nasty bit of clipping caused by the compact-car sized subwoofers lining the edges of the stage. They were inescapable. Wherever we stood, it was like the subs were in our camera. Sounded incredible in person; on film, not quite as nice.
Read on for impressions of the set and a shot of the crowd showing off their gadget collection.
Freezepop tore the friggin’ house down, covering all the crowd favorites. At one point, the band asked for the stage lights to be dimmed so as to let the crowd show the love using the displays of any gadgets they’d on hand, lighters-during-a-power-ballad style. While that in itself isn’t too rare of an occurrence at concerts, there’s a key difference here: where as the average concert goer generally rocks one, maaaybe two gadgets a time, PAX attendees carry more like 5. Just about every attendee had both hands illuminated. Add in the fact that about 50% of the hands were filled with the DS with its double-hitter display setup, and it was a sea of swaying lights unlike anything I’ve ever seen.
Photos don’t do the gadget-driven light show justice, but take a gander anyways:

I’ll never understand why some religious groups keep whining about the most inane sexual things, from Susan Storm’s bra size to Princess Peach’s underpants, but the last protest by religious group “Focus On The Family”—urging people to bully American Airlines for their in-flight unfiltered wireless world wide web access—makes me want to start slapping them right, left and center. Apparently, “Focus On The Family” is imagining row after row of seat screens full of all kinds of human, animal, and mini-fig genitalia. Their senior analyst for media and sexuality—take that Dr. Ruth—David Weiss had this very stupid thing to say:
“Because this nation has not been serious about vigorously attacking pornography, some believe it is appropriate to view in public. Not only will the flight attendants be placed in a situation that could be considered sexual harassment, passengers who openly view porn where children can see it may be violating federal harmful-to-minor laws.”
First, you don’t need the internet to watch porn in your portable device. Then, fortunately, most of this nation is not stupid. In “this nation,” and any other nation, individuals know how to behave in public and, if they don’t, they would get their ass kicked by the crew or other passengers. Just like I have the ability to watch porn on my iPhone or laptop in any public place across the country but I don’t because it’s just wrong, the same will apply here, Mr. David Weiss.
American Airlines states they will not change their policy of unfiltered internet access, because that’ll jeopardize the access to legitimate web sites, leaving it to flight attendants to handle any possible problem, as it should be. And that’s good. I’ll keep flying them, but not for the porn.
OK, for the porn too. [Sky Talk]

Taking inspiration as well as construction cues from the huge NES controller table built in Might, SCAD Inc., which I’ll charitably call a garage-based novelty enlargement collective, set out to build a giant-sized SNES controller, complete with functioning buttons. A few months later the build is complete, and it looks, well, huge.
The angular, simply-shaped NES controller lent itself well to humongonization, but the rounded sides and shoulder buttons made the SNES a formidable challenge to accurately build at such a large scale. The SCAD guys sure as hell pulled it off though, getting everything from the curvature of the L and R buttons to the fonts used on the control labels almost perfectly right. The body of the controller is cut from wood, and the buttons are connected directly to the guts of a standard SNES controller, preserving the now hilariously small-looking cable and connector. Matt LaBoone, the primary builder of the project, states that videos (hopefully including some gameplay action) are forthcoming. For now check out the full log of the building process at the SCAD Inc. site. [SCAD Inc.]

The Dad’s Cab Meter is a fake taxi fare counter for parental chauffeurs, made so they have the ability to guilt/embarrass their ingrate children into doing chores for them. The meter incrementally increases the pretend fare and comes with a stack of fare receipts that have chores the children can do as payment (har har har). It’s kinda like those redonkulous moments on The Cosby Show where the entire family would participate in a role-play with some sort of real-world moral to it, except not anywhere as funny. Dad’s Cab is $18, but in the grand scheme of things, mortifying your kids is priceless. [Gizoo via Coolest Gadgets via Dvice]

The designers at Volkswagen brought out the big guns for an upcoming recreational vehicle show in Düsseldorf, Germany by crossing one of their small commercial Caddy vans with a sailboat. While the Caddy Topos Sail design is not capable of traveling on water, it does feature a sailboat style deck on the roof that can be altered for relaxation and sunbathing. It even features a wooden ladder built into the glass to grant simple access to the roof. I suppose that it is clever in a stupid sort of way, but no matter how you feel about the quirky design, it is only a concept.

In an effort to make driving as dangerous as possible, a UK company called Santok has developed this hideous two headed freak of a gadget holder. The dual gooseneck design makes it easy to stick your sat-nav and your cellphone to the windshield, and it seems to do a fine job of creating a huge blind spot wherever you select to put it. Fortunately for most of us, it looks like drivers in the UK are going to be the only ones dealing with this problem in the foreseeable future. Available soon for around $37. [Santok via Geekalerts]
