----File this one under total and complete geekdom.
http://www.ferraniait.com I collect cameras that were mass produced, and are now obsolete. They are not rare, not collectible and completely obsolete by virtue that nobody makes film for them anymore. These cameras are totally useless. They are useless as collector's items, and useless for taking pictures. Even Goodwill will refuse them. Nobody loves them except for me and a middle-aged guy from Ohio that lives with his mom and collects Smurfs. Oh but just try to keep an underdog down. Ferrania is an Italian film manufacturer who continue to push the technological progress of older film formats. Among products they make are 26mm (I126) and 110 film cartridges compatible with Instamatic cameras circa 1961-1994. I have several old Kodak Instamatics including one I carried to Canada, Mexico and other points west. Thanks to Ferrania, I can enjoy those cameras once again. The Ferrania film company has been around since 1912. Their main focus for the older film lines is in emerging markets like South America. But they aren't just reproducing old filmstock. Ferrania continues to advance the technology of the film formats themselves - so the pictures you take with a Ferrania 26mm cartridge today should be of much higher quality than those of the 1970s. (* Holds film box up to cheek - a lens flare crosses the scene and the spokesmodel is backlit. She winks and the foley artist makes something go Ping!) A box of 30 cartridges will be on its way to me soon. |

Big Brain Games is another GML game developer similar to Videon Games. Big Brain's newest game is called Logic War and it's so cool you couldn't melt it with a half-time wardrobe accident. In Logic War you pit your robot against other robots in an arena. Sounds like any old robot game right? Wrong; because in this game the robot runs independantly using an AI that you programmed ahead of time. You program your robot's logic by pasting the symbols of various functions onto a graphical 'circuit board'. Then you send your robot out into the big bad world of the Logic War. If you've done a good job of programming him, your bot will wipe the floor with its adversaries. Otherwise it's off to the scrap heap with ye. Logic War is still in beta, but it plays like a full-fledged pro. Download Logic War | |
