Hackmodo: Use a Chicken’s Head as a Camera Stabiliser

11:00AM Jason Chen | Don’t have an anti-shake camera stabiliser in your camera? Have a chicken handy? Great! Just strap your cam to its head and watch as nature’s image stabilisation service does all the work work. According to the video, motion processors use an inertial measurement unit, which senses motion (rate, type and direction) and compensates for it. Chickens have a pretty advanced version. There you go: easy image stabilisation. [Thanks Graham!] More »

Choke-able Chicken is a Bonafide Stress Reliever

4:30PM Elaine Chow | Looking for a stress ball that’s sure to anger the hordes of PETA? Here’s one shaped like a chicken that crows in pain when you squeeze, hit or shake it. Let the chicken have it whenever work’s got you down and it’ll be sure to make you feel all plucky again. This fun little toy even comes in three sizes, priced $US13.90 for a large, $US9.90 for a medium and $US6.90 for a small, so that you can choke different sizes of chicken depending on where you are and how much stress you need to release.
