Inspired by the original of the species – Marion Renaud’s vintage hovercars – Swedish photographer Jacob Munkhammar digitally smooths the underside of classic Citroëns to create the kind of retro landspeeders you always dreamed of.

Stop motion animator Micaël Reynaud uses slit-scanning, timelapse and masking to create what he calls “hypnotic very short films”.
This is award-winning, next-level gifcraft right here. The pigeon (above) was a finalist in the Saatchi Gallery Motion Photography competition and more recently, Reynaud won the 2014 Giphoscope International Art GIF contest.

Videographer and After Effects artist Parker Paul sez:
Filmed an hour of footage from my window then used the sky as a blue screen to composite all the birds that flew past.The first wave of birds are the originals. The rest are cloned from those.

When the iPhone was first released, one of the things I wished you could do out of the box was the ability to attach a blob of information about about a place for others to discover.
Launched last month, iTagged is the latest app to tackle the problem. It allows you to attach notes, picture and video to any place you want for OTHERS TO DISCOVER.
iTagged will let you know when you’re near a point of interest or you can draw on a map to reveal all the tags within a given area. You can even use their augmented reality functionality to scan around you to see exactly where people have left their little titbits of information.
The app is available now on the Apple App Store

As always, no favours, cuddles, or pints were given for this post. We have some guidelines on submissions.
For the last few years, NASA physicist Harold White and his team have been working on the design for a faster than light speed spaceship. A recent collaboration with artist Mark Rademaker has yielded the visuals for an updated model, a ship nestled at the center of two enormous rings, which create the ‘warp bubble’.
White discusses the concept and the ship in the above video (starting at around 42:00 if you want to cut straight to the chase)
Naturally, it’s called Enterprise.

No, not a spoof viral for an upcoming zombie apocalypse flick but the gleeful and terrifying promo for armament developer G2 Research’s new and highly controversial Radically Invasive Projectile, the G2 RIP, released early this year – a bullet featuring tiny knife-like ‘trocars’ that penetrate and shred flesh.
Initially marketed at women in the home as a ‘one-shot man-stopper’, it’s designed to take out ‘all vital organs’, creating a massive exit wound in the process.

Everyone heard about Catherine Noone with her ice cream van problems this morning so we said “Come on, like 99’s are what Irish Summer’s are all about!”
With that in mind, they’ve launched 99 – Ice Cream Finder. The app does one thing and does it well – it tells you on a hot day like today where the best 99 is available nearest to you.
The app is available now on the Apple App Store and an Android version is a possibility if there is demand foNOMNOMNOMNOM on the Google Play Store.
