Time capsules are fun to reflect back on a time in your life something occurred; most people will do it in high school or on their wedding day. There are various forms of time capsules, some put memorable items they treasure within a box and bury it to have it dug up later in life to reminisce. Others choose to create video time capsules or letters and since we are in a digital age it would be ideal to receive an e-mail from yourself in the future, and since we seem to hang onto our e-mail addresses forever this seems like an ideal option to recapture a moment in time or to send yourself some encouragement. …

Battleships are just plain awesome, they are in the game and for pirates so why not for our homes? USB connections look dull and boring and since we have such personality it would be nice for USB design’s to represent our cords to our devices nicely. …

You have to admit, the iPhone 5 release of being taller and slender was not really worth its development, however the spoofs and parodies that have come from its release have added some funnies into my daily routine. IMHO (in my humble opinion), the laughs are worth more than the phone. Right about now I feel sorry for anyone who stood in a line-up to get the iPhone 5, since it seems to have been a waste of everyone’s time, everyone except YouTubers who cleverly know how to make fun of Apple. This is definitely the best find thus far for iPhone 5 YouTube parodies. …

We first started posting UFO activity last month with the August UFO activity, but we’re working our way backwards. There’s something up there. People can have their doubts all they want – the increase in video footage isn’t just about more people with video editing skills. It’s about more people with cell phones that capture the activity. See for yourself. * * * “UFO” image courtesy of Shutterstock….

What does it take to gain 3 million views on YouTube? Oh just a cat meowing to Collective Soul. Remember them? They were super popular in the 90’s and are now gaining more popularity via the Collective Soul Cat. If you have yet to see this amazing cat trick you need to become a part of the 3 million other viewers that have contributed to making this video a hit. …

Remember when mom and dad would have the small extra table in the basement for when family would come over for Thanksgiving dinner and fortunately for you it was your job to lug it upstairs chairs and all? Fortunately there have been many design’s that have been invented since those days and this generation will probably have less back problems because of it. One such design is the Packet table and chairs by Offi. …

Today, a new Twitter app was announced for the iPad giving users the ability to do what you have always been able to do with a few added features here and there, but let’s be honest, you are simply tweeting 140 characters. So, the real news here is that Twitter has in fact confirmed that it will no longer allow images to be pulled by third-party apps, instead forcing its users to us their service that is powered by Photobucket. …

There’s a use, here. Argonne National Lab knows it. Most people who watch the video below would suspect it. Nobody’s quite sure what that use is, but for now it’s enough to know that it can be done. By using sound waves, the lab has discovered a way to make solutions containing different pharmaceuticals float in mid air.  Dropped from a syringe or even from a spoon, the droplets of liquid remain stationary within the field. As Argonne says on their site, it’s no magic show: It’s not a magic trick and it’s not sleight of hand – scientists really are using levitation to improve the drug development…

For those of old enough to remember the wonders of the original Walkman, it represented a new freedom that we had never known before. The ability to go in so many places and perform activities such as jogging and biking while listening to music made it epic. MP3 players and the iPod in particular changed that, of course, but now old-schoolers can reminisce with the Cassette Tape to MP3 Converter for the iPod….

Stunt actors. Security professionals. Skateboarders. Fighters and other athletes. The list of people who could use D30 padding is long. The material uses “intelligent molecules” to absorb heavy impacts while maintaining complete flexibility. Basically, it’s like a putty during normal situations – it can be molded, stretched, and flattened with relatively little pressure applied. During impacts, the molecules lock together to absorb the shock. While we don’t recommend taking a hammer to your head in real life, they do it in the video below. …
