I/O Brush: The Natural Tendency to Sample?
The Tangible Media Group at MIT's Media Lab, devoted to the "seamless couplings between physicality and virtuality," has developed the I/O brush. This thing looks like a paintbrush, but is actually a video camera with light and motion sensors inside. Aimed at children (4 and up), this object allows you to "paint" with samples on a special canvas. And as Matt Haughey muses, this is "one giant derivative work creator."

Build Your Own Steadycam
Often the "cool" shots I see are cool because they capture motion in rather long sequences with no cutaways and are composed at angles and with a steadiness that is really impossible without some sort of camera stabilization. I think of some of the long flowing sequences in a Fincher film or in the television series ER (75% of the scenes were shot using the Steadicam). A Steadicam is required for this, but is also quite expensive. If you're ready to make your own steadicam for just 14 dollars, John Lee has a great how to article. There are also some short quicktime movies demonstrating the effect.
