Saturday NSFW - TRON, Motorcycles and Playboy

Ok it is not Saturday, but it is a FUBAR Friday.

This is Almost Not Suitable For Work (NSFW).

Music and a light show

This first clip is OK. It is just a light show.



HP ePrint & TRON: Legacy projection mapping - complete animation from Guided Collective on Vimeo.
The full projection mapping sequence from the HP ePrint & TRON: Legacy Experience on the the roof of the QEH on London’s Southbank, late Nov/early Dec 2010.

An immersive visual spectacle augmented with snippets from Daft Punk's soundtrack and orignal sound FX from the film... in no way enhanced by the bitterly cold weather.

Plug your headphones in and turn it up!

Next is Motorcycles.

Parker Brothers Choppers.

From there website

The Tron Lightcycle build was an answer to the question "How are you going to top that?" This build was special because it showed alot of people that maybe didn't believe in us, that we could accomplish the impossible. The final product is nothing short of amazing.The real question after seeing this bike on the street is, you guessed it - "How are you going to top that?" Now that it has been finished, we look forward to a new build with new challenges.

Sorry to say that the music is just to loud. I really wanted to hear the bike.
:(

Now Playboy

And the last bit is meeting of TRON, motercycles and Playboy. The guys over at Playboy just took wraps off a new feature called GAME ON, which pays tribute to the TRON revival that’s hitting peak velocity with the release of TRON:Legacy.

The two models are Irina Voronina and Sasckya Porto with body paints glowing with the cybernetic blue and orange hues of the world of TRON.

Hers is a vid of the photoshoot.

And if you want more visit Playboy

Friday Fun - Text Analysis of this blog

I went to http://www.urlai.com earlier in the week and did an analysis of this blog. Its results were.

Text analysis

the1gadget.blogspot.com is probably written by a female somewhere between 26-35 years old. The writing style is personal and happy most of the time.

Ranking

the1gadget.blogspot.com is the 380th most happy of 3269 ranked blogs.

OK so;

• I am between 26 to 35 - that is good.
• Personal and happy most of the time - that is good.
• Probably written by a female - That is a not so good.

Just a little bit of fun.
