Racing Sims

Read More

After a post from last week, I was emailed lots of questions about Racing Sims and where to get acquainted. I would suggest watching some YouTube videos to get an idea of what you are in for… From what I understand, it can get very expensive… But from what little experience I have, I can tell you that it is crazy immersive and about as close as you can get to the real thing without risking health.

Anyway, I recommend two channels:

  1. GPLaps. This guy focuses on vintage racing on older platforms that have mods to make the cars handle realistically. This looks less serious and more fun perhaps?
  2. Super GT. Modern GT racing… This guy races with a lot of F1 drivers, but mostly Lando… Super entertaining.

Stilo VR

Racing Sims are getting ridiculous. Hell, half the F1 grid came up on them and the realism often prepares them as well or better than carting. And now, we add VR? Absolutely crazy realism.

Adding to this, Stilo is getting ready to launch a helmet designed to work with VR goggles.

To be frank, I have no idea who Kith or Mad is… But, they collaborated by restoring a bunch of Contax G2 cameras and releasing them in crazy colorways. The G2 is one of my all time favorite film cameras and these things look to be pretty damned cool.

These haven’t been release yet, but once they are you will find details here.

This isn’t some hyper-expensive mechanical keyboard with the perfect sound and feel. What it is, is a highly compact and slim line mechanical with a decent feel, good build quality, and a great price.

Apple announced iOS 16 and gave a little preview… Hidden within was the future of Apple CarPlay pictured above. Nuts, right?

There’s a lot to like about projectors once you get passed the lesser image quality. Most obvious is that you don’t need some ugly piece of tech on your wall. Instead, you can just have a box hidden somewhere. And LG just released a new $6,000 projector with the shortest throw on the market – this thing only has to be 4″ away from your viewing wall!
