by Thomas Houston on July 1, 2009 at 07:01 PM



There's a load of great tech news happening out there every day, and, unfortunately, we just can't cover it all. Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web.
  • Few gadgets are hated as much as printers, but a group has taken on the task of printing by hand -- yes, these extremely patient individuals create images in CMYK and black and white with markers and a lot of time. [clusterflock]
  • You may not look cool wearing it, but this solar vest will charge your gadgets as you're exploring the outback. [DVICE]
  • Invader, a Parisian artist who uses the medium of Rubik's cubes and mosaic tiles, recently showed off his latest works in New York. You'll see everything from recreations of classic albums from Nirvana and the Clash to a unique take on classic 8-bit gaming. [StreetLevel]
  • With 'Transformers,' the latest 'Terminator,' and other mechanized apocalyptic movies hitting theaters lately, we're pretty sick of hearing about robot invasions. Take heart, these Kauzbots won't be taking over the world anytime soon. In fact, part of the purchase price goes to the kause of your choice. [Kauzbots]
