By Casey Lynn Contributing Writer, [GAS] It’s that time of year again! It’s “Black Friday,” when the masses crowd the malls, every man for himself (hey, that sounds like a plot from a zombie movie). Shopping for your favorite geek can be tough, so we at [GAS] are here to help. A lot of guides […]
After five days of work, astronauts aboard the Endeavour shuttle have succeeded in the ultimate feat of recycling—turning urine into water. This is thanks to a new machine that should help more people live aboard the International space station at one time. The urine recycler will be part of a more widely used water recycling […]
Photograph extraordinaire Keith Loutit amazes us again with a new tilt-shift time-lapse video produced during a demolition derby event. Seeing all those scrap cars, monster trucks, and even a humongous Godzilla, going around an arena like harmless toys in a sandbox is both awesome and hilarious. Ready to see more? Be sure to check out […]
Even if the Wiimote was revolutionary when it initially came out, it really can’t compare to the motion-sensing capabilities of Sixense’s new Truemotion 3D system. Check out the video — it’ll blow you away. Rather than using an accelerometer like the Wiimote, the Truemotion system uses a magnetic field to track both of your hands […]

Well, today I’m test-driving yet another browser from a Japanese startup named Lunascape (I’m not really sure what to call this product, they sometimes refer to it as “Genesis”, but mostly they just call it Lunascape). Where did they get that name, I wonder? It sounds like […]
By Casey Lynn Contributing Writer, [GAS] The Guild, the MMORPG-themed web series spearheaded by geek goddess Felicia Day, is gearing up for its second season. However, rather than new episodes airing on YouTube, they will be showing up exclusively on XBox Live, Zune, and MSN Video. That’s right, they’re teaming up with Microsoft, which is […]
Designed by Manuel Saez for Humanscale, a popular manufacturer of ergonomic office furniture, the daybed is what I would call the ultimate chair for lazy, laptop-using Web surfers. I mean, look at this thing! It looks so comfortable, I doubt anyone sitting in it would ever want to get up, even after several hours of […]
By Will Sullivan Contributing Writer, [GAS] The “Peapod,” by GEM (green eco mobility)—financed and designed by Chrysler—is pretty much a preposterous mashup of a Tesla Roadster and an AMC Pacer: zero-emissions electric vehicle meets mobile aquarium! As with the ill-fated Pacer of the ’70s, that vast expanse of glass looks terrific style-wise (well, I’m in […]
