A collection of painful Parkour fails
If you aren’t familiar, Parkour is freerunning in mainly urban landscapes, while climbing and jumping. Runners move along a route, attempting to navigate obstacles in the most efficient way possible, using only their bodies. Skills such as vaulting, rolling, swinging and wall scaling are employed. Here is a collection of video clips that show Parkour wipe-outs. It’s painful.

Minnesota team wins Red Bull’s Creation event
Red Bull’s annual Creation event involved 16 teams from across the country who came together for three days of high stakes innovation with the city as their playground. A secret warehouse in Brooklyn full of tools, materials and hardware hackers were given the task of building a creation designed to move the weight of a person (100lbs) from point A to point B without using any fossil fuels. They had 3 days. The winning team is named 1.21 Jigawatts, and they are from Minneapolis.
They created a massive hamster wheel, wired into a mobile network, given its own phone number that could somehow receive up to 60,000 one-word text messages at a time. Once it received the text message, the hamster wheel would actually roll and perfectly print the word out along the ground. Grand prize – $5k. Pretty cool huh?
Thanks for the great pictures CoolThings.com and MaximumTech.

Stolen Camera Finder
Is your camera lost or missing? Has your camera been stolen? If so, stolencamerafinder can help you find out where it is now.
They claim that they can help to locate a missing camera by searching for photos on the web that have been taken by that camera.
Every photo you take with your digital camera contains hidden information about both the image and the camera such as the make, model and date. This information, called exif data, can also include a unique serial number which identifies your camera. Stolen Camera Finder crawls the internet searching for photos, collecting the serial numbers of the cameras that took them.
I guess pictures taken with phones are not saved the same way and cannot be located this way. I hope they work on this as an extension of their business considering most people are ditching their digital cameras and using their phones exclusively.

Creating the sensation of textures
image via Senseg
E-Sense is a new touch interface that simulates the sensation of textures and other touch feedback on virtually any surface including touchscreens. It was created by Finnish tech company Senseg. The core of the technology is the “tixel,” or tactile pixel, a special surface that emits a weak electrical field. When skin is exposed to the electrical field, all manner of textures and sensations can be simulated–sticky or smooth surfaces, even clicks or vibration. This could be used to produce the sensation of touching sand, silk, or water.
With accuracy down to the level of individual tixels, the technology allows for exceptional control of the produced sensation. Tactile feedback can be localized to individual areas enabling multi-touch user experiences. Since it is easily scalable to small and large surfaces with ultra-thin implementation, Senseg E-Sense can be applied to virtually any surface including the device’s cover bringing a new dimension of user experience.
Think of the uses. Awesome.
