Aquadom Is Largest Cylindrical Aquarium on the Planet

What do you do with a 25-meter-high acrylic glass cylinder, 238,000 gallons of sea water, 2,600 fish from 56 different species, and two divers? The Aquadom, the largest cylindrical aquarium in the world, that's what. In its core there's an elevator that travels through a cylinder of glass. As you will see in the videos after the jump, it's simply stunning. More »

Latest by n/a: Pfft. Kelly Tarlton's (http://www.kellytarltons.co.nz/aquarium-attraction-sharks-penguins/135/Frequently+Asked+Questions.aspx) has a much bigger tank. More interesting too, from the looks of it. (2 million litres is around 500,000 gallons, if that helps.) more »

Modem Berlin is an Art/Music Space in an Abandoned Cold War Power Plant

The Modem is a new art and music venue opening in Berlin that's being built in an abandoned power plant that used to supply juice and heat to East Berlin. It's a gigantic space, nearly 250,000 square feet in size, and it's full of Cold War-era contraptions, knobs, levers and other fun doodads that are sure to give it a completely unique atmosphere. If the art and music are any good I would say this will be come a must-visit spot for anybody visiting Berlin. Hey Blam, please send me to Berlin to cover the opening, OK? Thanks.

Giant Donkey Kong Game, Need I Say More?

The Computer Game Museum in Berlin has accomplished two things to make fanboys, such as ourselves, very moist. Firstly, they have created a museum dedicated to computer games and secondly, the institution has produced a mahoosive reconstruction of the classic Donkey Kong game using scaffolding. That is large. Lap it up fellow fanboys, lap it up. Oh, imagine how burly that large cardboard Donkey Kong would be—I wish he'd pick me up and hold me in his muscular primate arms... [UrbanRetroLifestyle] More »

PS3 European Launch: A Continent Yawns and Continues Picking Its Nose

You've already heard about the free tellies and taxis over in London, well this is how the PS3 was welcomed in France - with a gallic shrug. Just 60 per cent of its 100,000 available units have been reserved, a smattering of press attended the official launch - and a pleasure boat coated with Xbox logos parked itself next to the Eiffel Tower for that all-important photo-op before chugging up and down the Seine. Yes, it was Microsoft who pulled out all the stops and got first dibs on what little press attention there was. More »

'Berlin': Rotating Fireplace of Glass and Steel

Imagine this rotating fireplace sitting between your living room and kitchen, where you can just spin it around as you move from room to room, taking its heat and warm glow with you. The fireplace, dubbed "Berlin," revolves 360 degrees with the flick of a wrist. More »
