Bringing your favorite signers back from beyond

Bringing your favorite signers back from beyond

Kid Klava wanted to sing a song he wrote, but realized his chops really weren’t up for the task. So why not get John Lennon sing it – with Paul on backing vocals? He claims it was surprisingly easy and it only took a few minutes to generate. If you’d like to have a go yourself, there are dozens of great YouTube tutorials.

Making a John Wick 4 suit

Making a John Wick 4 suit


Hacksmith Industries
builds a lot of interesting stuff. A plasma light saber, magnetically attracted Captain America shield, and many other cool creations. This one, however, was really interesting.

I found the gunplay in John Wick 4 to be pretty ridiculous – which was made more so by a paper-thin suit that was supposedly bullet proof enough to get hit hundreds of times and still work.

These guys decided to put this idea to the test. They try to make a suit that is actually bullet proof.

It took them well over a year and many failures and a full reset that involved material research, testing, etc. However, in the end, it turns out that it is reasonably possible – at least for a few rounds. Like most things, if you shoot the same spot a few times, it’s unlikely to stop bullets. It also is unlikely to keep you from broken ribs and massive contusions caused by the round impacts. Still, surprising results.
