Paper is out: Australian restaurant replacing menus with iPads!

Photo: David Geraghty If I had to place my vote as to which restaurant in the world was the most “geeky” or most technologically advanced, it would definitely go towards the “Pearl” restaurant in downtown Richmond.

Paper Mario tears up a classroom [Video]

I’ve seen plenty of stop-motion videos before. Some better than others. The “Paper Mario Decimates a Classroom and Terrorizes a Building” video that is hiding just after the jump is pretty sweet.

According to Trinity Mobile (one of the leading companies behind mobile boarding passes), 2009 saw an increase in mobile boarding pass usage to the tune of 1200%+. Talk about progress.

Stop motion Mario Bros. made out of paper, dreams of countless youths around the country.

I personally don’t have the patience for too many crafty hobbies. Even though I can surely look ahead to how good the finished product will make me feel, I still get held up in the present, thinking about how long it could/would take me to finish said hobby. While I may have my own patience issues, I can certainly enjoy the fruits of someone else’s extensive efforts. Case in point: The *literal* Paper Mario motion picture, stop motion picture that is.
