Let's Unbox a Google Chromecast and make it do things and stuff with audio and video
*Updates 9/22/2013* -This device can also stream videos from your PC/Laptop with Chromecast Software -You can also cast your web browser to the Chromecast from a supported device
I finally got my Google Chromecast and I must say I really like the device. It wasn't exactly what I thought I was in that it only supports a few applications like Netflix and YouTube on iOS (may support more on other platforms) when I thought you could stream any audio or video to the TV. The upside is that since the Chrome cast is doing all the heavy lifting once you tell it what to do from your portable device you can shut down your portable device (or let the battery go dead) and it won't kill your viewing experience. Think of the Google Chromecast as a little computer you're just remotely giving orders to.
Google should probably do a better job of educating people up front that you are not really casting video or streaming video or projecting video to the TV but rather just giving orders from a select few apps to the chrome cast over the network and it's actually responsible for everything going on.
So this is not a replacement for Apple TV or other wireless streaming solution if you need your phone, computer or tablet to project its screen on the TV but rather this is good for people that just want to use Netflix and YouTube (and possibly some other supported apps) and want a very seamless, simple experience that just works. My wife personally loves the device because she watches Netflix and YouTube on her iPad all the time and now can just press a single button and transfer it to the larger screen.
The Oculus VR Rift is an amazing device and after using it myself I can really understand how it's going to change the future of gaming and possibly social networks.

I have literally been waiting forever to try one of these Oculus Rift DK1 units and lucky for me a co-worker had one that he could loan me to do a full review of. I have to say that it surprised me in lot of ways and let me down in others but overall the technology is solid and I can honestly see this easily becoming the future of gaming. The biggest drawback is obviously the resolution and blur and they have addressed both of those problems in the upcoming DK2 unit which I will also borrow from my friend Brian to do a review of. My biggest concern with it however is that the resolution is 1080p which still seems vastly inadequate for something like this that has to divide the resolution into two frames and then make it consume your entire field of view (FOV). I only hope that Oculus behind the scenes has their eyes on a 4k version because I think with that kind of resolution this actually would become highly viable and would bring the most realistic gaming experience possible.

▼ Questions & Answers ▼
Q) Come on, that has to be fake!!! The way he gets thrown into the seat is theatrics right?
A) I've noticed a few people in the comments are skeptical about how I am thrown back into the seat in the video. I can assure you 100% this is not theatrics! This car produces 1.67G's instantly at launch and I weight ~300 lb (167kg). That means that at launch my body weighs ~614lb (278kg). So it's like me laying the seat flat and having a clone of me sit on my chest while wearing a backpack with ~14lb of extra crap in it. I hope this helps paint the visual pictures for all you disbelievers. If for some reason you still don't believe it just show up at a Tesla event where they are giving joy rides in Ludicrous mode. It won't be as fast as 'Secret Sauce' but you will quickly understand what I'm talking about.
Q) Dragsters jerk you half of what he displays!
A) The funniest comment I've read so far is that I'm faking it "because not even dragsters push the driver back this hard". Let me point out a few obvious things here to help you wrap your head around this. When you're in a dragster you are in a form fitting bucket seat strapped down to it with a 5 point harness that is tightened so hard you can't hardly move. This is because if you were loose in your seat you run the risk of 'pushing back into the seat' or 'riding up the seat' at launch and losing control of the vehicle. This is why you don't see the driver get slammed into his seat like I do just wearing a over the shoulder strap with a seat containing actual padding. Also the drivers in a dragster have their helmets pressed firmly back into the seat at launch and a strap connecting it to their shoulders to prevent rocking movement so the driver doesn't get whiplash or worse. I'm just glad the vast majority understand what is real and why it's real instead of just trying to down me in a river to see if I'm a witch.
Q) How much HP does the car have?
A) Well, I can't really say right now because of NDA but I can say that P85D Ludicrous is 762hp (torque over 3000ftlb) and this is a 'huge' upgrade over that...
Q) The footage showing the dash 0-60 looks like 2.9 seconds when it should be faster? Right?
A) The only footage we got of the cluster was during the 3rd or 4th launch and it was on a new surface and the car was fishing for traction more then the previous runs, it was noticeably slower. Unfortunately since it was the only footage I had of the dash cluster that is what I put in the video. Also I just stomped on the gas from a stop and didn't enable launch mode. Don't get me wrong though even at 2.9 second 0-60 the force this car puts on you is freaking dramatic. The fastest 0-60 was the run we did with the launch control and you immediately notice the difference when you lift your foot off the brake!

This is a quick teaser trailer I rendered from my DirtFish 3-Day experience in Snoqualmie, WA. Driving rally cars is a complete blast and I would recommend that everyone tries it! I will create more complete videos of my runs as time allows and post them but this is just a quick little compilation of some of what I did during my 3-Day.

I was at home from work sick as a dog and couldn't make a new video from scratch so I decided to do a mashup video of all my favorite vines I've done over the last month. I hope you guys find them hilarious and inappropriate all at the same time. Please comment below and let me know what your favorites are and come over and follow me at on Twitter @barnacules to get the vines long before they end up in mashups like this one since I only make videos like this when I'm sick :P Also please note this doesn't mean this is what the channel is all about now so simmer down on the unsubscribe button, if you don't like this video then just stick to the game plays, 3D printing and unboxing videos. So just simmer down now :D

YouTube Capture is the worst application on the iPhone platform. You can't edit together video clips and you must upload one complete recording. The problem is when the battery low indicator pops up (or any system notification) it just stops your recording and resets the application loosing your work, WTF! And I can't just continue recording and edit it together since it only allows you to upload one complete video. This is probably the worst app experience I've had on iPhone with exception to the 'I'm Rich' app that costed $999 :P
You have been warned! From now on I'm just going to record the videos locally and upload them using another app on the phone or just drop them to PC before uploading them. I was trying this out to see if it had potential for spontaneous VLOGGING but as you can see this is CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP!!! This show is an independent production of Jerry Berg (aka Barnacules).

What's up Nerdgasm Fans! I've been buying a bunch of stuff from Massdrop lately and recently they contacted me to see if I would be interested in reviewing some audio equipment starting with these ear buds. Since everything I've purchased from them so far has been amazing I figured it would be worth a try. I was pleasantly surprised at how good these ear buds are for the price and they flat out kill the Apple ear buds. After listening to these fo 5 minutes the apple ear buds sounded muffled and like they are were 90% bass and 10% anything else. The bright and realistic sound that comes out of these OSTRY KC06's is really pleasant and really has become a gateway drug of sorts because now I'm going to try some even more expensive ear buds down the line because I didn't realize that you could get such rich and powerful sound from such a little speaker.
