A surreal double-decker drivable couch

A surreal double-decker drivable couch

When I saw this I had to rub my eyes twice as I thought how unbelievable even the thought of literally not getting off the couch would be like. It is all a part of the World’s Wackiest Racers Experience where you can watch various oddly created vehicles that have speed up to 95mph. This surreal double-decker leopard couch has the person sitting on the couch steering it while a person is below handling the peddling of this moving vehicle.  Apparently you can purchase a pass to be able to watch all these whacky drivers participate in driving unthinkable items like beds and office desks. It also suggests…

The trioBike mono: One of the lightest cargo bikes in the world

The trioBike mono: One of the lightest cargo bikes in the world

One of the biggest issues with transferring from a car to a bicycle (hence cleaner living) is the ability to transport your things or kids to and from where you need to go or be. Sure, traveling on a bicycle in summer weather is fine when all you need to do is show up, but truth is, we have a life we need to tow too. The trioBike mono is ideal for urban living while you run your errands and live your life, you can travel upon one of the world’s lightest cargo bikes. …

The art of perception

The art of perception

We assume what we see is how it is but as the old adage goes “not everything is as it appears”. I have often wondered how differently others see the world, since I cannot see outside of my own eyes even though I try and keep my mind open, I still cannot help but wonder at times if perhaps my perception is skewed. …

A made to order heart of Iron Man

A made to order heart of Iron Man

Created by Stan Lee for Marvel comics, Iron Man made his debut in Tales of Suspense in March of 1963, thus the year Iron Man fans were born. Under the armor lies a billionaire playboy, Tony Stark who is abducted and forced to build weapons of mass destruction. Instead, he builds himself a suit of armor in order to escape and eventually help save the world through Stark Industries. …

Wake up to Star Wars LEGO alarm clocks

Wake up to Star Wars LEGO alarm clocks

We know you haven’t completely gone to the darkside, well, perhaps while you are awake but our imaginations can get the best of us in our sleep and that means that our internal clocks cannot always be trusted. That is why when our minds travel to a galaxy far away, we need something to bring us back into the light, or at least wake us up in time for work. …

Unmanned drone from Team Black Sheep stalks French police before hasty exit

Unmanned drone from Team Black Sheep stalks French police before hasty exit

The folks at Team BlackSheep put together a “Christmas Special” video with their quadcopter and GoPro camera. While there are few details about the group, the equipment used, or whether or not the French police are investigating, it’s fun to watch as they land on a truck in traffic, hover close to the street with people taking pictures, and follow a French police car up until the point when they are apparently spotted. Then, they make their hasty retreat. Check it out: Here’s a separate video of a cool homemade quadcopter with a GoPro attached: Related articles ‘Team Black Sheep’ Troll French Police…

Netbooks have died. Tablets are to blame. Thankfully.

Netbooks have died. Tablets are to blame. Thankfully.

The original idea was a good one. With internet speeds improving and becoming more abundant, why carry around all of your data and the bulky hard drives necessary to maintain them? Why not store just about everything on the cloud and create machines that could be easily transported everywhere to do nearly everything that can be done by a desktop computer? That was what propelled Asus and other manufacturers to start the netbook revolution in 2007. Their Eee PC was a landmark development in the world of computing, bringing functionality and form to a compact computer that could fill most of our needs…

See what your pet sees with the National Geographic Camera

See what your pet sees with the National Geographic Camera

If you ever wonder what it would be like to see the world through the eyes of your cat or dog, you now can with the National Geographic camera that ties around the neck of your pet, like a collar, and allows you to see everything at their level. …

Rewind time by adding a 3D cassette tape to your wall

Rewind time by adding a 3D cassette tape to your wall

Flashback to the 80’s and 90’s when mixtapes were a sign of affection and the top 9 at 9 was time to sit and press record. Back then, music took a little more effort to retrieve than it does today and radio was exciting to listen to, especially if you had a boom box that had a record button on it. Music companies flourished in providing us with manual labored music, since every time you wanted to listen to a tune you had to hit rewind or fast forward; no such thing as repeat or shuffle. It is hard to imagine that it would be the last of the musical era to have to put effort into listening to music that you loved…

Have your DVD’s rise with the Dark Knight bookshelves

Have your DVD’s rise with the Dark Knight bookshelves

Yes we are aware that these are bookshelves which are meant for actual books, but many of us are now reading from tablets, smartphones and e-readers that although it would look great to have perhaps some of our old books hanging on the wall, it would be sort of a waste when we could use it to display our beloved DVD’s. …

Does Google Now know too much about you for your own good?

Does Google Now know too much about you for your own good?

There’s something particularly creepy about Google Now that not only makes it superior to Siri and other voice- and location-based digital personal assistants, it makes it worrisome to those who take their privacy seriously. For the first time, we get to see the full breadth of how much Google really knows about us as individuals. It knows us from our Gmail accounts. It tracks our activities online. It knows where we are at any given moment. It’s aware of our real-world activities. In essence, it knows more about us than many of our significant others. That should be a little disconcerting. Strangely,…

Is this the beginning of the end for Zynga?

Is this the beginning of the end for Zynga?

When a company so new and so fresh off of a cash infusion from going public starts to make cost-cutting decisions surrounding their primary product, it doesn’t bode well for the future of the company. That seems to be the direction that Zynga may be heading after shutting down 11 of their titles. According to Techcrunch: The San Francisco-based company had overextended itself. During its heyday on Facebook it built dozens of games, then aggressively launched mobile games as smartphones gained popularity. It didn’t seem like a problem when the company was preparing for a big IPO. The “big IPO”…
