For part of his college thesis, student Jiho Jang created the GIFTY, an instant camera that captures up to five seconds of video. It then will spit out a number of frames that can be assembled into a flipbook for a hand-held GIF. At the moment, Jang’s prototype is the only one in existence.

Former New York congressman Anthony Weiner is back in public arena and he’s running for mayor of New York City. The 48-year-old Democrat made headlines two years ago when he was forced to resign after accidentally tweeting a sexually suggestive photograph of his bulging manhood to one of his Twitter followers in May of 2011. In his latest campaign ad released yesterday, Weiner addresses his scandal by acknowledging that he “made some big mistakes” but claims he’s the right man to fight for the city’s “middle class.” Let’s hope Mr. Weiner keeps it in his pants this time, or at least, learns how to send a direct message.

Beginning in June, fanfiction authors will be able to self-publish their works from selected partner franchises via Kindle Worlds. Gossip Girl, The Vampire Diaries and Pretty Little Liars are already on board with the project and more are expected to be announced the official launch. However, authors aren’t exactly jumping at the chance to turn their works into cash: by using the platform, authors give all rights to the work to Amazon, who can then license your elements to other authors with no compensation to the original poster. The platform also will not publish stories containing pornography, excessive use of brand names or crossovers, so your Superwholock mpreg (male pregnancy) stories will just have to stay on Tumblr.
