Click picture to enlarge! We geeks are a varied lot, that’s for sure, but people are always assuming we’re all alike. They couldn’t be more wrong, and now there’s a simple illustration to show them just how not right they are. [source via Flavorwire]
This pretty awesome origami model of batman was made by origami wizard Brian Chan. Brian has also folded another version since the first one only looked good from a certain angle.

Behold, geeks, I give you: Smell-o-Vision. Virtual smells have long eluded developers by being too difficult to control, impractical […]
